Special Forces: Jussie Smollett Says He Was ‘Disrespected’ On The Season Premiere!

Special Forces season 4 has already begun. The show is already raising the temperature high, as this season, the recruits have to carry 800 pounds in Morocco’s 100-degree heat. This season is not for the weak-hearted, as it will present challenges that test everyone’s emotional resilience and physical strength. While the premiere episode was intense and exhausting, a recruit has made some huge claims.

A lot happened in the first episode of the show. Be the first task, be it Brittany Cartwright’s early exit, or be it Jussie getting awkward after Kody Brown asked his surname. Now, Jussie Smollett, who is currently seen on the show, has added that he was disrespected in the season’s premiere episode. But what exactly happened? Keep reading to know further details.

Special Forces: Jussie Smollett’s 2019 Controversy

Jussie Smollett is currently appearing on season 4 of Special Forces. Back in 2019, his name made headlines when he claimed that two men in Chicago attacked him and made racist and homophobic slurs. Later, the whole case took a significant turn when the police accused Jussie of staging the entire attack to get into the limelight and to get a higher salary on the tv show Empire.

Smollett denied all the accusations and added that he is innocent. In late 2021, authorities revealed that Smollett had filed a false police report and found him guilty of misconduct. In March 2022, the court sentenced him to 150 days in jail and 30 months of probation, and ordered him to pay restitution. This case caused a primary debate about race and justice. It also caused significant damage to Jussie’s career.

Special Forces: Jussie Claimes He Was Disrespected On Season Premiere

Jussie Smollett is currently appearing on season 4 of Special Forces. Earlier, he revealed that his time on the show will hopefully be a ‘reset’. During the first challenge, the recruits had to jump off the helicopter and then run up the hill with the heavy supplies. Jussie got slow while carrying the supplies uphill. Navy SEAL Jovon Quarles, part of the Directing Staff, saw him.

He unloaded him in front of the rest. Jovon further yelled at Smollett, “Sixteen, what are you doing? What is your problem?” Quarles was visibly agitated, and he further said that everyone is pissing him off, especially Jussie. In a recent interview, Smollett opened up about the premiere episode. He said that he is okay with taking orders. However, he resents it when people yell at him and treat him disrespectfully.

Earlier, he revealed why he signed the show. Jussie said that he has been through a great deal, and it has been very public. “I was called a liar, with everybody believing something that was not true. This feels like a reset,” he added. During the premiere episode, Jussie and Kody were getting along pretty well until Brown asked for his surname, which made Smollett a little uneasy.

Later, when he added his last name after hesitating a little, Kody quickly talked about ‘second chances.’ While the first day was a little harsh for everyone, Brittany Cartwright was unable to survive it, and she was the first one to go back home. She added that it was embarrassing, but she had no other choice. Keep coming back to TV Season & Spoilers for more Special Forces updates and tea.
