Jussie Smollett appeared in bond court in Chicago for a bail hearing on Thursday afternoon, where a judge set the “Empire” actor’s bond at $100,000.
According to a reporter for the Chicago Tribune, Smollett will be released if he pays $10,000 of the deposit bond. According to CNN, Smollett is required to surrender his passport as a condition of release while his Class 4 felony case is pending.
