Actor Jussie Smollett has been pretty much out of the public eye after creating a story in 2019 about being beaten up by 2 MAGA men in Chicago. He was found guilty on 5 counts of felony disorderly conduct about making four false police reports. Ironically a man who made up a story about being beat up has decided to begin his return to the public eye on a toughman reality competition show.
Smollett will be one of the celebrity contestants on Fox’s "Special Forces: World's Toughest Test." The show features 18 celebrities participating in an Army boot camp-style athletic competition. Other contestants include former NFL player Johnny Manziel, Kody Brown and Theresa Giudice. "Special Forces" will premiere on September 25th.
