While Jussie Smollett may soon be squaring off with the city of Chicago in yet another
courtroom battle, his lawyers may also be facing legal troubles of their own.
Olabinjo Osundairo and Abimbola Osundairo, the two brothers who police
claim Smollett hired to carry out an allegedly fake hate crime, are now suing the actor’s lawyers for defamation, the
Los Angeles Times reports. The two men filed a federal lawsuit on Tuesday seeking unspecified damages and naming attorneys Tina Glandian and Mark Geragos, as well as the latter’s Geragos & Geragos law firm, accusing all parties of telling damaging lies about them to the public, according to the outlet.
