When he was allegedly attacked, Smollett was reportedly approached by two unknown offenders who “gained his attention by yelling out racial and homophobic slurs towards him,” according to information provided to In Touch by the Chicago Police Department. They then allegedly “battered” Smollett with their hands “about the face” before allegedly pouring “an unknown chemical substance on the victim.” The incident background provided also reported that at one point during the attack, “one of the offenders wrapped a rope around the victim’s neck.”

Smollett reportedly self-transported to Northwestern Hospital and is reportedly in good condition, but the incident is still very scary. Khloé was far from the only celebrity to comment on the situation — as news of what happened spread, it set off a blitz of supportive statements from fellow stars.

There is an open investigation for the attack against Smollett. Hopefully, as Khloé said, whoever allegedly committed such a heinous act will be found and prosecuted, and justice served for the Empire star. Our hearts are with him.
