Jussie Smollett made a rare public appearance Sunday at the BET Awards.
The “Empire” actor, who was charged with lying to police about being the victim of a homophobic and racist 2019 attack, was sentenced to 150 days in county jail in March but was released on bond less than a week later as he appeals the conviction.
Dressed in a tan suit with a white shirt and gold necklaces, Smollett posed for photos on the red carpet at Sunday’s award show at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
