Attorneys representing Jussie Smollett in his fake hate crime case have filed a malicious prosecution complaint in response to a defamation suit filed by Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo — two brothers who testified that they had participated in the elaborate hoax.

Gloria Rodriguez, the attorney for the Osundairo brothers, who at the time of Smollett’s conviction in December said her clients "could not be more thrilled" with the guilty verdict that absolved them, provided a statement to Fox News Digital after Smollett’s sentencing.
