Vivica A. Fox Supports Jussie Smollett as He Goes on Trial
TMZ.com
Vivica A. Fox is a ride or die friend, because she made it clear Tuesday night … she stands by Jussie Smollett in bad times as well as good.
Vivica was at the TCL Chinese Theatre for the premiere of her movie, “True to the Game 3.” Our photog asked about her ties with Jussie, and Vivica showed Smollett mad love.
What’s interesting … she never said if she believed he was actually attacked on the streets of Chicago back in 2019. Clearly, prosecutors don’t believe him, because he’s currently on trial for allegedly staging the incident. He’s charged with 6 felonies and could be sent to prison for years if convicted.

A jury has been selected and testimony has begun. It’s unclear if Jussie will take the stand in his own defense. Typically, defendants in criminal cases stay mum, but this case almost demands Jussie tell the jury his version of what happened.
It seems the jury’s verdict will be irrelevant to Vivica. She not only supports her former “Empire” co-star — she wants to do a project with him in the future.
