Jussie Smollett, Jabari Redd Engaged

Ultimately, the state high court ruled that the Mighty Ducks actor should not have been charged after he entered a non-prosecution agreement with the State Attorney’s Office in Cook County. The court also noted it had remanded the case back to the circuit court to enter a judgement of dismissal.

Since the controversy—which saw the celeb accused of paying two brothers $2,500 to stage the hate crime—Jussie announced he would be donating $50,000 as part of a settlement with the city of Chicago, as well as an additional $10,000 on top of that.

“Though I was exonerated by the Illinois Supreme Court in a unanimous decision and the civil case will now be dismissed, I’m aware that it will not change everyone’s mind about me or the attack I experienced,” he wrote on Instagram last month. “Despite arduous and expensive attempts to punish me, I am innocent in the eyes of God and our criminal justice system. What I have to do now is move forward.”
