It has been indicated that Smollett insists that he is still innocent. Although the city is accusing him of faking an attack, they have in fact dropped the criminal charges against him.

At this current time U.S. District Judge Virginia Kendall states the lawsuit against Smollet still stands indicating that they will be moving forward, “the city must prove the truth of these allegations to prevail at summary judgment or trial.”

Smollet defense team argues that the former issued charges caused deep rooted issues in their client’s life “humiliation, mental anguish and extreme emotional distress,” his lawyers states. He notes that Smollet “ voluntarily provided his DNA sample and fingerprints” back in March to the FBI. Adding that the actor’s passport has also been taken and “still has not been returned to him to this day.”
