Jussie Smollett, who had all his charges drop by prosecutors in Chicago, was a no-show at this year’s NAACP Image Awards in Hollywood.
Smollett was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for Empire, but lost to Grey’s Anatomy star Jesse Williams.
Comedian Chris Rock was in attendance to present the award for Outstanding Comedy Series. Although someone told him no Jussie Smollett jokes, he couldn’t help it.
