Bigger Than Jussie: The Disturbing Need For A Modern-Day Lynching - Hardcover

When Jussie Smollett took Bola Osundairo under his wing, grooming him for greater roles in Hollywood, the UNTHINKABLE happens...

Bola Osundairo couldn't believe his luck when actor, Jussie Smollett, took an interest in him. He barely knew the man when he was hired to be an extra on the hit show Empire. Within a short time, thanks to Jussie's assistance, Bola became a stand-in. His star was on the rise.

Ola Osundairo became an extra on Empire before Bola. Soon he was in a picture with the creator of the show that was posted on Instagram. His acting career was blasting off.

When Jussie asks for a favor, Bola is only too happy to help. At first, when he heard Jussie's plan, he thought it was a joke. Why would Jussie need someone to attack him? Jussie assured him this was normal in Hollywood. When Jussie asked if Bola knew of someone who could help, Bola knew his brother Ola would be perfect.

Soon Bola and Ola find themselves outcasts in Hollywood, dropped by a major casting agency, and their lives totally turned upside down.

Who are Ola and Bola Osundairo? They are so much more than the 'attackers' in Jussie's hoax. Get to know the American-Nigerian brothers. Their lives are an open book. Find out why Jussie knew Bola would agree to help him before he ever asked him to.

The truth of this hoax comes to light through text messages and emails. Never before seen evidence removes all doubt of what happened that night and explains why Bola and Ola agreed to take on this role. Was Jussie really trying to help the Osundairo brothers, or was he preparing them for the acting role that would prevent them from ever acting again?
