'Empire' star Jussie Smollett made BIG waves in February 2019 for being accused of staging and falsely reporting a hate crime which happened earlier this year. Since the news broke, EVERYONE has had a hot take on it, including the way we should feel about the matter: "Is it the police's fault?" "Did Jussie really do it?" "Did he really set us back as Black people?"

In this episodes of 'Adult-ish', host Afiya is joined by recurring co-host Vincent Bernard to discuss the bad, the ugly, and the DAYUM revolving the alleged hate crime/hoax, the media shit-storm it's caused, the underlying biases in all of it and the concept of how to take accountability for ones actions AND holding others in their community accountable as an adult. Take a listen!
