<p>Jussie Smollett is reportedly considering suing the city of Chicago.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The <strong>Empire </strong>star had been accused of having orchestrated a racist and homophobic attack on himself last January. Although he had the case against him dropped in March, local officials sued him for around US $500,000 in April to cover various costs, including to compensate for the overtime pay for police who investigated his case.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>And according to documents obtained by TMZ, Jussie is now considering filing a suit in response "for their conduct underlying the arrest and their conduct thereafter." </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 37-year-old actor was initially indicted on 16 felony counts of lying to police over the alleged attack but the charges were later dismissed.</p>

<p>
However, a special prosecutor is now looking into the dismissal and could reinstate the charges, much to the fury of Jussie's lawyers.<br></p>
