As the Jussie Smollett attack saga continues, Chicago police released video Monday that showed a noose around the “Empire” star’s neck.

“Do you want to take it off or anything?” an officer asks Smollett in the body cam footage from January, which shows the actor, wearing a cream-and-red sweater, with a tangle of white rope around his neck.

“Yeah I do. I just wanted you all to see,” Smollett, 36, responds.
