Jussie Smollett his First Film Since Chi Attack On The Way Mona Scott-Young and BET+ Standing by Him
Jussie Smollet's new project will hit the streaming screen for his first time since the actor was allegedly attacked in Chicago .... and he's got a super-powerful Hollywood friends in his corner.
Jussie and Monami productions head Mona Scott-young were spotted out in NYC earlier this week. The two met to discuss Smollet's upcoming "B-Boy Blues" --- which was announced will stream on BET+.
Mona says, "B-Boy Blues is a beautifully bold, funny, heartwarming bro-mance and I was thrilled to partner with Jussie to help this wonderful film gain greater exposure."
Jussie had actually started work on the project prior to the 2019 hate crime hoax --- but it had been delayed for obvious reasons.
Mona has agreed to be involved in "B-Boy Blues" back when it first launched, and wanted to remain on through the end --- despite what Jussie had experienced personally.
Mona has played a significant role in getting the movie onto BET+ and out to audiences for Jussie -- who directed and produced the project.
As for "B-Boy Blues" --- it's already won awards, including the Narrative Feature Fan Favorite Award at the 2021 American Black film Festival --- and will be released as part of BET+'s Pride month programming.
Jussie was sentenced and began serving a 5-month sentence behind bars back in March, but was released a week later while his legal team appeals. He had been found guilty on 5 of 6 felony counts against him, for lying to Chicago police about being the victim of racist, Homophobic attack.
