Netflix’s documentary 'The Truth About Jussie Smollett?' premiered on 22 August 2025, offering a renewed examination of the Empire star’s 2019 circumstances where he alleged a homophobic and racist attack later ruled a hoax by authorities.
The film includes fresh interviews with Smollett and the Osundairo brothers, who were central to the case, and frames the story within the broader context of America’s polarized media and justice system.
In a revealing moment, Smollett conveys he felt “emasculated” and “eulogized” by the public reaction to the alleged attack.
UK audiences, attentive to how media narratives shape public perception, will find this documentary a compelling study of sensationalism, race, and legal complexity.
It’s described by The Guardian as “bold, shocking … and utter nonsense,” highlighting its provocative stance.
