Jussie Smollett Gives Tearful First Interview After Alleged Hate Crime: I’m ‘Pissed Off’ by Doubters

SMOLLETT: "I'm pissed off."

ROBERTS: "What is that has you so angry? Is it the attackers? Is it — "

SMOLLETT: "It's the attackers, but it's also the attacks. It’s like, you know, at first, it was a thing of, like, listen, if I tell the truth then that’s it, because it’s the truth. Then it became a thing of like, oh, how can you doubt that? Like, how do you — how do you not believe that? It’s the truth. And then it became a thing of like, oh, it’s not necessarily that you don’t believe that this is the truth, you don’t even want to see the truth.”
