"Ratched" actor who participated in Capitol riots is selling t-shirts to cover his legal expenses

Didn't he hear everything trump touches dies? That would include his career.


A Netflix actor is peddling t-shirts on Instagram to purportedly raise money so he can sue his local newspaper for reporting about his involvement in January’s failed MAGA coup.


FBI agents raided the North Hollywood home of actor Siaka Massaquoi last week after he was seen in videos taken inside the U.S. Capitol building during the January 6 insurrection.

Massaquoi most recently appeared in two episodes of Ryan Murphy‘s super queer Netflix series Ratched, playing a priest named Father Adeyemi. His other credits include TV shows like NCIS, Lethal Weapon, and S.W.A.T., plus several appearances in short films.

Exactly why the FBI raided his home is unclear, though FBI spokesperson Laura Eimiller confirmed a search warrant was filed in advance and said that, ultimately, no one was arrested.

There's WAY more hetero action in it for sure ... it's more like there's some token lesbianism to titillate the audience with almost no tie-in to the main story

It was a pretty decent series though. I only watched once and I don't even remember this dude.

don’t do it.

One would almost think he wasn’t proud of his actions that day.
