After the alleged attack on Jussie Smollett in Chicago, the brothers who police say coordinated the assault with the Empire star are taking his lawyers to court.
In a federal lawsuit filed today against Mark Geragos, Tina Glandian and their law firm, brothers Ola and Abel Osundairo say they have been set up by the attorneys.
Smollett directed every aspect of the attack, including the location and the noose, the suit claims and says former CNN contributor Geragos and team defamed the duo repeatedly to the press.
Smollett used his clout as a wealthy actor to influence [the brothers] who were in a subordinate relationship to him and were aspiring to make it,' according to the lawsuit.
The brothers say they have suffered extreme emotional distress, humiliation, anxiety, damages to their reputation, and damages to current and prospective business relations as a result of the defamation.

I expect the brothers to also eventually sue Smollett. They are the real victims.
