Not a care in the world: Jussie Smollett laughs on Hawaii vacation with his family after having charges dropped in ‘hoax’ race attack, as Chicago files civil complaint against Empire actor
Smollett, 36, is vacationing with his two sisters, brother-in-law and niece and nephew in Hawaii
They were spotted unloading towels and beach toys at the Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park on Wednesday
The actor had all the charges against him dropped in exchange for community service and $10,000
Prosecutors say he is guilty of staging a hate crime in which he was the victim and questions over why he was allowed to go free remain
The city of Chicago has said it will sue him for $131,000, the cost of the police probe into the January 29 attack
Smollett, who has maintained his innocence since the incident, has refused to pay it
Jussie Smollett was all smiles during a day at the beach in Hawaii on Wednesday as he enjoyed some down time with his family while the legal fallout from his sensational case raged on in Chicago.
The 36-year-old Empire actor was pictured laughing as he ate , talked to his sisters and unloaded a car with children’s bags and towels for a fun-filled day out.
They were spotted at the Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park in Kailua on the Big Island.
It is unclear how long he has been in Hawaii. His sisters, Jazz and Jurnee, supported him throughout his case but did not attend court as frequently as his brothers did.
The actor was last seen flying in to Los Angeles within days of having 16 felony counts of lying to the police dropped.
The 36-year-old Empire actor was in high spirits as he unloaded beach supplies from the car and snacked on what looked like a Dorito
Wearing his signature silver aviator glasses, Smollett seemed relaxed as he padded about the parking lot before loading up with items to take to the beach.
He wore a white t-shirt, black hat, black shorts and sandals.
At times, the star seemed tense as he took a phone call and sat in the car but his good mood reappeared as he made his way to the water with his nieces, nephews, sisters and brother-in-law.
