'Saturday Night Live' Mocks Chris Redd's Jussie Smollett Crying Wolf

The “Saturday Night Live ” cast didn’t cut Jussie Smollett any slack in its snarky takedown of Chris Redd’s version of the “Empire ” actor claiming he had been the victim of a racist and homophobic attack in late January in Chicago.

The “SNL ” sketch took place at a faux meeting of Fox executives to discuss “Smollett’s” future after Chicago police officials said he filed a false report on the alleged incident — only to have prosecutors drop charges against him last week.

“Jussie Smollett was a victim!” insisted Sandra Oh, playing “Smollett’s” manager.

“Oh please,” retorted “executive” Kate McKinnon .

Redd, late, then rushed in, breathlessly exclaiming: “Guys, you are not going to believe what just happened to me. I was attacked again.” 

He displayed “clues” about his attackers, including a box of teeth whitening strips, the red letters KKK, and the “gay” teletubby.

He’s fired — only to return with another attack tale.

Fans on Twitter had a very mixed reaction. Some loved it, while others found it harsh.
