Jussie Smollett might be getting sued by the city of Chicago, but he still has a job and that's all that matters. Taraji P. Henson stopped by The View and talked about Jussie and whether or not he's coming back to Empire.
Taraji said that she talks to Jussie all the time and that he's doing "well." Then when Joy asks her if Jussie will be returning to the show Taraji said "Yes, I haven't heard anything else!"
Now whether that actually happens, we won't know until the show gets picked up for a season 6, but seems like Taraji knows that they're coming back!
