If its up to Jussie SmollettsEmpirecastmates,Wednesdays big episodewont be his last.
He is honest and above all he is filled with integrity.
We are confident in his lawyers assurance that the case was dismissed because it would not have prevailed.

Jussie has shown us on and off the set who he really is as a leader.
Prior to that, he gave every cent from his sold out world tour to numerous charities.
This was all done without posturing, the need for attention or even discussion.
This is the Jussie we know.
It is why now, more than ever, we must stand together as a family.
A family is there for us in good times and bad.
We understand that this show is a business.
And that business matters to us as well.
We are confident our fans will welcome our Jamal back into the Empire family as enthusiastically as we will.
Thank you for taking time to hear us.
Its our hope that together we will move into our sixth season as the entire Empire family should.
SINCERELY,

Fox had no comment on the letter.
And its too early to think about what we would have to do if we didnt have Jussie.
