INTERVIEW: Jussie Smollett Has A New Documentary Out, I Talk With His ‘Hoax Attackers’ OIa & Bola Osundario. Sunday, August 31st, 2025 | Sarah Fraser
ICYMI, this episode originally aired in December of 2024. But this week a new documentary trying to reshape Jussie Smollett’s image is out called ‘Jussie Smollett: Anatomy of a Hoax.’ I spoke to his attackers, I had the fascinating opportunity to sit down with Ola and Bola Osundairo, the men known for their involvement in the Jussie Smollett case. We delved into their new book, "Bigger Than Jussie," which offers an eye-opening perspective on their side of the story. They shared their experiences growing up in Chicago, their Nigerian-American heritage, and how they got entangled in the infamous hoax. Contrary to media portrayals, they clarified many misconceptions, including their American citizenship and the fact that they were never charged with a crime. We also discussed the broader implications of the case, touching on media bias, political agendas, and the impact on movements like Black Lives Matter.
