“If I had done this, I’d be a piece of s–t"

The 40-year-old actor addressed his highly publicized trial on Sway Calloway’s SiriusXM show, “Sway in the Morning”, claiming he did not lie about the attack.

“If I had done this, I’d be a piece of s–t. And I don’t think that’s really questionable,” Smollett said in the episode aired on Monday.

Smollett — best known for his role as Jamal Lyon on Fox’s “Empire” — said him being a black gay man makes it impossible for him to stage the attack.

“If I had done something like this, it would mean that I stuck my fist in the pain of black African Americans in this country for over 400 years,” he told Sway.
