Jussie Smollett’s Attorneys Say Prosecutors Star Witness Is An Ex Lover Who Masturbated In A Bathhouse With Smollett

Jussie Smollett masturbated in a public bathhouse with the prosecutors’ star witness Abimbola Osundairo, if you believe the defense. Jussie Smollett’s defense team let out a brutal cross-examination against the prosecution’s star witness on Thursday. Smollett’s attorneys claimed the pair were dating, had masturbated together at a gay bathhouse, and the attack was fueled by a desire to be the actor’s security guard.

Abimbola Osundairo, 28, testified on the stand at a Chicago criminal court and was questioned for two hours by the actor’s defense attorney Shay Allen on day four of the trial.

We were never dating,” said Osundairo, across the room, Smollett averted his gaze. On Wednesday, Osundairo told jurors he and Smollett had gone to the Steamworks bathhouse together in Chicago’s Boystown neighborhood, a predominately gay community. On Thursday, Allen asked if gay pornography was played on the televisions inside the spa. 

“I don’t recall,” Osundairo said. “You don’t recall seeing gay pornography? … You don’t remember masturbating with him?” Allen questioned. Osundairo said, “No.”  The attorney also asked if Smollett had a crush on him and if he thought “sexual tension” between them would further his acting career, in which Osundairo answered back that he “didn’t know” there was sexual tension. 

Smollett now faces six felony counts of disorderly conduct for lying to police and, if he is found guilty, faces three years in jail.
