Jussie Smollett has completed a five month stint in rehab for substance abuse
The former Empire star, 41, finished the outpatient program earlier this month, according to a source who spoke with TMZ.
While in rehab the actor is said to have focused on his health and being consistent with his workouts.
Jussie checked himself into an outpatient treatment facility back in October after what his reps called an ‘extremely difficult past few years.’
Smollett is currently trying to get his December 2021 conviction for faking an anti-gay, racist attack on himself, and then lying to Chicago police about it, overturned again.
A source also told the publication that Jussie’s new management team is working hard as they gear him up for the release of his new film and other projects.
A spokesperson for the actor said in a statement back when Smollett checked into rehab: ‘Jussie has had an extremely difficult past few years. He has quietly been working very hard for some time now and we are proud of him for taking these necessary steps.’
It’s not known what exactly Smollett was in rehab for, but testimony during the trial hinted at heavy drug use.
