From ABC 7 Chicago
Details of a settlement reached between the city of Chicago and actor Jussie Smollett have now been released.
The city was suing Smollett to recoup what it spent investigating Smollett's false claims that he was attacked.
Smollett paid the city $10,000 in 2019. He will now pay an additional $50,000 to "BBF Building Brighter Futures Center for the Arts, a local organization that provides community, health, and education opportunities for Chicago's underprivileged youth," according to a statement from Chicago's Department of Law on Thursday.
"The City believes this settlement provides a fair, constructive, and conclusive resolution, allowing all the parties to close this six-year-old chapter and move forward," the statement read in part.
Smollett's attorney Torri Hamilton released the following statement:
"Jussie was happy to end this saga by contributing to a cause he loves to benefit Chicago youth. He still loves the people of Chicago but is pleased to put this ordeal in his rearview mirror."

Mean while the ppl foot the bill to Chi town ppl.
Plus he gets to wright it off on taxes.
Jussie ain't worried about tax write offs because he is unemployable.
Liar, liar, pants on 🔥.
Another person flapping their gums. He finished a project not long ago. You sound like a person on public assistance that doesn't pay taxes. Have a seat broke.
Maybe the center will hire him.
Jussie has talent and lying is a part of acting.
I knew I couldn't stand this guy during that show he was on where he sang every scene. Gave me a chance to get snacks. He was the worst part of that show. Good luck getting hired again. Liar.
There are no words to describe this piece of excrement
His stunt cost Chicago nearly $230,000 for this stunt
He got off with a soft landing. Hoping the industry never entertains this liar again.
