The Nigerian brothers who say Jussie Smollett paid them to beat him up have sued the Empire star's lawyers for defamation and revealed startling allegations they say were made against them including that Smollett might have had a sexual relationship with one.
Abel and Ola Osundairo have filed a lawsuit against Smollett's attorneys Mark Geragos and Tina Glandian who they say maliciously painted them as liars in the public after Smollett's high profile criminal case was dropped.
Among the suggestions the lawyers made was that the brothers, who Smollett knew because he had enlisted them for personal training, might have been wearing white face when they attacked him on January 29.
On April 6, Glandian also claimed in a podcast that they trafficked Nigerian steroids and that Abel, the younger brother, spent the night at Smollett's apartment.
She offered the theory that Ola, the older brother, wanted to 'test' Abel before they went to Nigeria by attacking Smollett who is openly gay.
Smollett walked away from the court last month a free man after a shock decision by Chicago prosecutors to drop all of the charges.
Instead of retreating, his legal team have doubled down on their case and publicly painted him as the victim of a witch-hunt, all the while maligning the brothers by accusing them of lying.
Since then, the brothers have been silent but at a press conference announcing their lawsuit on Tuesday, they said they would not sit back any longer and watch 'lie after lie' be told about them.
