The self-proclaimed ‘Radical for Jesus’ said she understood what the bible says about how Jussie, a gay, but also knows what the bible says about other sins people also commit without being judged.
Popular crossdresser, Bobrisky also decried the attack on Smollett saying even though it was inhumane to attack the actor, he wasn’t surprised because the hearts of men have become “desperately wicked.”
Bobrisky also warned that if anyone should try what was done to Empire star, he and his attackers will die at the scene of the attack. He made the comment after someone in his comments section question if he was gay following his show of solidarity to Jussie.
Smollett was hospitalised after the attack but has since been released even as the FBI are reportedly involved in investigating the incident being regarded as a hate crime.
