The two brothers who authorities allege were paid to stage the late-night attack on #JussieSmollett in 2019 say “not even Pinnochio” believes the #Empire star at this point – and that he still owes them $500 for their services.

Olabinjo and Abimbola Osundairo appeared on “Fox & Friends” to react to the overturned conviction. The Illinois Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Smollett’s rights were violated when a special prosecutor re-filed charges that had been dropped in a deal with the state’s attorney general. The ruling effectively vacates his 150-day sentence and resolves the matter completely.

Smollett has maintained his innocence throughout, saying the attack was a true hate crime. The Osundairo brothers, who recreated the “hoax” for a Fox Nation special, appeared on “Fox & Friends” on Thursday, saying they were simply “helping out a friend” at the time.
