Jussie Smollett is experiencing "post trauma" and "night terrors," his brother says

USA Today

Jojo Smollett, the Empire star's older brother, has penned an essay for BET titled, "What if Jussie is telling the truth?" "Within less than three months, his life has been turned upside down as my family and I have witnessed him endure unrelenting attacks to his character and reputation," wrote JoJo Smollett, the head of a nonprofit that helps disabled people enter America’s work force. "Like so many others, this entire process quickly devolved from a focus on him as a victim of assault, to him being falsely accused and held responsible for a crime that was perpetrated against him. To define this experience as unjust would be an understatement."
