I don't suppose there's any surveillance video outside this Subway, right?


If this happened where I think it did, there are cameras everywhere around there. It's right in the middle of the biggest club district in the city.

The letter was sent 8 days ago. This thing happened Monday night/Tuesday am.

This story will get buried if someone tries to pursue evidence. This is meant to be a topical outrage

Either that or he got beat up first, sent the letter himself as cover, and then came forward with his injury. Certainly a lot more plausible than his story.


I'm guessing this. If his story was true, the facts and timeline just aren't adding up.

He was "brutally attacked" by two men, yet only fractured a rib? And then the hospital released him later that same morning after this brutal attack?

Sounds like it was incredibly brutal

My guess would be that his rib was fractured somehow before this, and he realized it was a fabulous opportunity to start a conversation.

He probably was jumped and beaten, that doesnt sound that unbelievable at all. Especially with him being a celebrity walking around Chicago by himself.

Its the whole 2 white people yelling MAGA with a rope and bleach that sounds really off.

The timing of the letter hasn't been verified.

Either way, dealing with a fractured rib for a few days isn't exactly agonizing. It sucks, but there isn't really anything you can do for it besides take pain medicine.

People fracture their ribs all the time and don't even seek medical attention.

Teh original source.... the Grape Juice site... has done some damage control today and edited some of the holes in the story, and made up some more bullshite.

Now, the attack was premeditated....

Now... the actor had been sent threatening letters with magazine clipped letters like it is 1993...

Subway sandwich shops in Chicago close at 1a.m. if now earlier.

Most are in the main city (if the map above is correct) and the odds of there being stores that sell both rope and bleach at that time of night...much less ski masks to someone who has the marlinspike skills to tie the right knot........

Because that's what I do in my spare time, I walk around in a ski mask looking for gay actors so I can remind them that this is "MAGA country". Forget that this is in Chicago ( @ that being "MAGA country") and Trump has publicly supported the gay community on a number of occasions.

There actually are some that are open 24 hours, in that general area. Enter "River North, Chicago, IL"

Anyone know what hotel he was staying at? Considering the COLD, why the heck wouldn't a TV star order room service, instead of going out in the cold, at 2AM, for a freaking SUBWAY sandwich?

Not adding up.
