Actor Jussie Smollett reportedly told police officers that he has a drug problem after surrendering on Feb. 21 on the charge of filing a false police report.

According to the police, Smollett orchestrated a fake attack against him, hiring two Nigerian-American brothers to pretend to be white President Donald Trump-supporting racists, including having one yell “MAGA,” police said.
