Checks written by Jussie Smollett to the two brothers who 'staged his attack' seem to imply that he paid them $3,500 for a 'training fee'.

According to TMZ, the 36-year-old actor wrote a check to Abimbola 'Abel' Osundairo on January 23, 2019.

This is six days before Abel and his brother Olabinjo, or 'Ola', reportedly faked a hate crime attack on Smollett in Chicago. 

The memo line on the check reads: '5 week Nutrition/Workout program Don't Go.'  

Sources reportedly told TMZ that Smollett paid $600 a week for a five-week workout plan and $100 a week for a five-week nutrition plan, which equals $3,500.  

Allegedly, 'Don't Go' is a reference to a song that Smollett was going to appear in a music video for.

The website reports that Smollett weighed 192 pounds and he needed to lose 20 pounds ahead of the shoot.

Texts between the brothers and Smollett allegedly show them reminding him to do cardio and to stay on his meal plan.

The memo line on the check reads: '5 week Nutrition/Workout program Don't Go.' Smolett reportedly wanted brothers Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundair to help him lose 20 pounds

On Wednesday, after three weeks of investigation, Chicago police publicly announced that they believed Smollett made up the attack that he claimed was perpetrated by white men shouting racist and anti-gay slurs.

Details released from the Cook County State's Attorney office show that even the first officers to respond to Smollett's report of an attack on January 29 had reason to be suspicious. 

'Chicago Police Officers observed that Smollett had a rope draped around his neck,' Risa Lanier, a Cook County State's Attorney, wrote in the bond proffer.

'This was captured on police body worn camera. Seconds later, Smollett asked police to shut off the cameras,' she continued.  

Police responded to Smollett's Streeterville apartment about 45 minutes after the purported attack.

Though Smollett explained that he had left the rope around his neck to 'preserve evidence', the responding officers were privately baffled that he was still wearing the noose somewhat like a necktie, according to sources briefed on the investigation.

Per Chicago Police Department policy, the officers informed Smollett that their body-worn cameras were active, and he requested that they be shut off - another nagging hint that something was off, sources say.

Cops also found it odd when Smollett led them outside his apartment to show them where the alleged attack took place, and immediately pointed out a security camera that he believed had captured the incident.

Smollett also referred to this security camera during his now infamous interview with ABC's Robin Roberts.

'I looked up and I saw there was a camera directly on the light-post that is in the intersection, so I'm like: "There it is",' Smollett said.

'And then the detective told me that the camera inside of the casing was facing north. So they didn't have it, and that was disappointing.' 

In this interview with ABC News, Smollett described the camera he though had captured the attack. Police say he pointed out the camera to them immediately

Police now say that Smollett had specifically cased that camera with brothers Abel and Ola, bodybuilders of Nigerian descent whom he is accused of paying to stage the attack.

On January 27, two days before the attack, police say that Smollett picked up the brothers in his car and drove them to the intersection to plan the attack.

'Smollett directed the brothers' attention toward a surveillance camera on the corner, which he believed would capture the incident,' Lanier wrote in the bond proffer.

In his initial report of the attack, Smollett also perplexed investigators by refusing to turn over his cell phone to responding officers, who wanted to verify that he had been on the phone with his manager at the time of the attack.

The records he ultimately handed over were heavily redacted - which sources say allowed cops to zero in their investigation by focusing on the call records that he had deleted, by comparing them with records obtained through subpoena of his phone carrier. 

As the investigation progressed, CPD was very careful in its public statements, continuing to describe Smollett as an 'alleged victim' up until the point that charges were filed.

Though the camera outside of Smollett's apartment was pointed a different direction and did not capture the attack, it and other cameras ultimately unraveled the case. 

Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson (above) expressed outrage at Smollett for allegedly lying to investigators. Police were suspicious of his story from the very start

Smollett eagerly pointed out this camera to police as he described the attack, but didn't realize that it was pointed in the other direction and had not captured the incident

After extensive canvassing, police were able to track the movements of the purported attackers to the point they left and arrived in hired cars, and use taxi and rideshare records to identify them.

The brothers confessed their involvement, and receipts for the purchase of items used in the attack offered damning evidence that the attack was indeed a hoax. 

At a press conference on Thursday, Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson expressed outrage at Smollett for allegedly lying to investigators. 

'Why would anyone, especially an African-American man, use the symbolism of a noose to make false accusations?' Johnson said. 'How can an individual who's been embraced by the city of Chicago turn around and slap everyone in this city in the face by making these false claims?' 

Smollett is charged with disorderly conduct-false report, a Class 4 felony. 

He continues to vigorously maintain his innocence. The producers of the television show Empire have said that he will be cut from the final two episodes of the season.

Smollett is currently free on a $100,000 bond and is next due in court on March 8.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
