Will Jail Help a Victim Narcissist? | Jussie Smollett Sentencing 

He has also outed a man who is from a country where being gay is punished by prison for up to 14 years or, in some provinces, stoning to death. He didn’t have to do that. He could have confessed and kept that info out of a courtroom.

There`s an EPIDEMIC of racist violence in this country....coming EXCLUSIVELY from the DEMOCRAT PARTY! Calling it something else or completely ignoring it doesn`t change reality.

he was probably hoping that cities would burn and be looted on his behalf… now he’s thinking how to further escalate the situation… flogging a dead horse actually, but he and his enabler family and (very few) supporters refuse to accept that the horse has died already…

@@theflyingdutchman_01 YES...omg with that many enablers in that family it is just insane...he has every last one of them thinking he is Jim Jones...sad!

That exact fact....that Jussie was ok with others going to jail for the sake of a hoax... is why a little bit of jail time is warranted. I also agree with Dr. Grande that mental health help should have been part of restitution.

😂

Best comment.... you win the internet!

Have you seen the meme saying, You play the victim so much I am surprised you don't carry your own body chalk"? I think this is a perfect description for JS.

@@LPRNChannel Agreed!

My goodness gracious.alive, I loved what you said, it was perfect. I read it twice, and it was better the second time. I was raised by a devil of a dad, my grandpa was a devil, my mom did nothing, My ex was a Wolf in Sheep's Clothing, and he is now trying to steal our kids inheritance. I forgive them for my own self because these devils don't care. And, I stay away from toxic people. Keep up the great comments. God bless you.

I would think his parents would be ashamed of him.

I too am angry at Michael Jackson

Black privilege

His sister had the nerve to shout "Stop locking up our black men!" At his sentencing despite the fact that she watched her brother throw 2 black men under the bus. 😒

What is truly amazing to me is that his family REALLY believes he is innocent!!

Nice fish you have on that picture. I bet you caught it yourself...

Exactly. He has demonstrated ZERO redeemable qualities.

@@ozymandiasnullifidian5590 Nice comment. I bet you came up with it all by yourself(?).....

@@emmaevans7011 - Maybe he is.

Their virtue has been signaled in support. This only matters for public image. They look like they are brave or have acomplish anything by supporting this so called victim.

One persons bad behaviour shouldn’t cause real victims to be dismissed. That really just reflects on the biases of the “justice” system.

I feel sorry for any innocent person who may have been injured in the name of Jessie and justice for him.

@@nightstarstar1 Human nature makes us distrustful of people when we have been burned before by the same action.

The little boy who cried wolf...classic example!

I found that to be genius and insightful as well.

I tried to jot it down too. Well said.

Makes no sense

genius quote indeed! eloquent as well...

@@rickrick5041 Yes, it makes no sense... If Dr.Grande wanted to say that the level of destruction that such narcissist is willing to exact is big, he found a weird way of saying that, because the depth of his shame is very small, I wonder if he has any shame, and he has almost no power.

If only it were true. Go to NYC and see if it is white people who are “attacking” people on average. Specifically in regards to the Asian community.

Talk about representation and inclusion

But did they do it in "whiteface"?

LOL

I can't believe he doubled down on his claims when the guys were found to be black and he knew them and they knew him!! How on earth is he still saying it was real?? It's gobsmacking it really is.

Wow, that's really quite a guy 😳

You are a narcissist who thinks anyone gives a darn about your relationship problems In a video comments that has nothing similar whatsoever to your failed marriage

Yea, I watched it a couple of times. Very cathartic…😌

It was beautiful! Love that judge

Wonder if Josh Duggar will receive the same type of lecture? He was set up too🤣🤣

@@Dulcimertunes Let's hope so!

That hearing was painful at over 5 hours. I stupidly watched the whole thing thinking ‘they will get to the sentence soon’. By the time they got to the Judge’s comments, I was beyond ready for him to be held accountable

100%

Omicon

💯😎👍👌👏👏👏

@@scottbeck7762 Lol! Good one!

100% I am so disgusted by him. His hoax is PARTICULARLY HEINOUS as the good Doc said.

He is such an embarrassment! Eish 😖!

So do BLM and the crime wave hitting NYC; make a mockery of King’s legacy.

It's scary how many of these woke people invoke MLKs namesake despite being living incarnations of everything he fought against. That boondocks episode got it spot on. Probably why they've tried so hard to scrub that episode out of history.

It's dumb actions by a singular individual.

Yup and the two other dudes. No good.

They're repulsive

In denial

That may quell your feelings of anger, but it won't solve anything. Emotion and pragmatism do not mix

@@acooper7675 Here's a little pragmatism. With Jussoe convicted & serving time in jail with a fine to pay, his career & "platform" are gone. He will have to get over himself.

@@gleefulme9617 Wishful thinking. Fueling his persecution complex, the very basis of his victim narcissism, serves only to make that narcissism stronger. If you want to punish someone that's fine, but don't pretend his best interests are your priority.

@@acooper7675 I don't think for one minute this little chump is redeemable. I just want his platform to be permanently dismantled. NOTHING can redeem a dyed in the wool narcissist. He will never develop insight, reflection or empathy. He NEEDS to SUFFER.

Well... he was released after a few days. Pathetic

Should sentencing be tailored to what's best for the perpetrator?

@@eadweard. Great question.

Well said!

I agree. If you watch the judge's summation and sentencing, it is apparent he feels like many like you and me. Well worth a viewing.

Yes, everyone should hear the Judge’s speech to Jussie. He was 100% correct!

air to my lungs! preach!

I trust dr. Grande's take on instead of the news

Agreed, let’s also imagine if it was staged in a more believable manner - innocent people being beaten during riots and losing their business due to arson etc. Yes - peaceful but “fire-ie” protests! 🥴🙄🔥

This is a hate crime against straight whites and needs treated as such.

He did waste resources though. Over $100,000 was wasted on this.

@@Metonymy1979 Then they need to make him pay for that for sure.

Jussie would’ve let two innocent white men go to prison for his hoax. He is a horrible person.

No matter what happens, the Small-ettes will be unhappy.

Jussie is a Black Jew and his parents were civil rights activists in the East Bay. His mother Janet is Black and his father Joel Smollett who got their kids started in the entertainment industry was Jewish. The 2 were friendly with Kamala and her husband and their kids were the Black faces behind her in a sea of White people. Jussie's father had cancer and died on the night the first episode of Empire aired (on January 7, 2015), and he was devastated but he did not take off of work he instead threw himself INTO his work in HONOR of his father's memory.. I don't know whether Jussie is just kvetching a lot or a malignant narcissist? Does he simply have the acumen of a Jew? We live to complain.😜

@@linnpierce Yup always looking for attention and someone else to blame... Samuel L Jackson the same...

Always a victim 🙄

The jail said they weren’t putting him into isolation as they no longer do that. As a ‘celeb’ I would think they do feel pressure to protect him however.From what understand it is normal to undertake a psych evaluation of someone entering the system for a significant period, and his outburst certainly didn’t give the authorities any confidence the guy is ‘ok’. I wonder who in his family is going to manage his not inconsiderate fortune whilst he’s inside? Let’s hope they are more honest than he is!

😂🤣🤣👏

Fantastic comment 👏 👌 🤣😂😆

It took me a second to realise...🤔....😉😅🤣😂

💯😎👍🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏

Yes, he is.

He is in solitary confinement. He should be put in general population but, I am sure Michelle Obama is helping him out.

Spot on, sir.

Suicidal? More like homicidal. 😆

hes BEEN acting a fooI

Exactly. Never forget the mainstream media and narcissistic celebrities (Ellen/Elliot Page, Kamala Harris, etc) played into & perpetrated Jussie’s hoax.

A lot of people are just two or three steps away from Jussie's mentality. He's one of their kind.

I believe people were sorry for him wished it was true. There are enough even worse crimes against black people.

@@tatianamendoncastudio yeah right

well said.

Yeah his sister is cut from the same cloth.

@@JaMeshuggah Really? That’s so sad.

I wholeheartedly agree! Supporting a family member through something like this is admirable. Negating or absolving them of their misdeeds is not.

@@karabelle67 Personally if I was a family member, I would just not want to talk about it publicly.

bad gene pool

Tanked his career and exited the human race.

He still can't!

Which was totally stupid of him.

Probably worst of all is he’ll always be recognized as that guy that faked a hate crime to try to ask for more money or attention or whatever he wanted. You can get a new job or serve your time and start fresh even though it sucks to lose a livelihood after you fuck up, but there’s never any living this sort of stuff down. He knows everyone recognizes his name every time he does anything in public ever, every time he’s at the DMV or picking up some take out food. everyone will know he is that disgusting person that fakes a hate crime. It will never go away and likely hardly even lessen at all with the notoriety he deservedly got from all this. Even people close to him or his family or etc, they’ll pretend like “oh yeah you totally didn’t do that” while even they know and are embarrassed to be associated with him. Certainly shitty to blow a well paying career and all that but to be a pariah for decades to come for me would be worse. He probably comes from money so it’s just the fame and attention from a tv show he’ll be missing, and the constant embarrassment will be a much worse punishment IMO. Jail will blow too because I’m sure he’s super high maintenance type so.. ain’t gonna be fun. Personally though I think the being always known for a terrible thing is worse, like Brock turner the rapist. Even narcissists know when everyone else is embarrassed by them, even if they don’t find themselves to be disgusting or feel the embarrassment. It hurt their already fragile self esteem so to me that’s a worse punishment for him. Lol not that he doesn’t deserve jail on top, just saying. I’d much rather serve some time in jail as shit as that is than be notorious for faking a hate crime for the rest of my life. Still not as bad as Brock turner the rapist IMO, but pretty fucking disgusting thing to do obviously to fake a hate crime for attention.

Maybe he did, and his backup plan was "stick to the story no matter what and try to make everyone think I'm a victim."

He might have gotten all the attention and sympathy he wanted, too. People would have stuck by him, if he told the truth, and blamed it on his mental illness.

How can you tell when a narcissist is lying? Their lips move. 😂

He wants to be a victim right? so just give him what he wants, keep feeding him to the wolves till there is nothing left.

Sorry I agree with the sentiment but why did you spell crafted like that

@@djoecav Hollywood is what witches wands are made from, so many in Hollywood use the kraft

Hatred and anger? I don’t think so. Victimhood, resentment and a persecution complex maybe. They’re always the victim.

@@bluejava9397 his dad was Jewish and hated white people and would angrily react to being referred to as white. Racist, hateful, self-victimizing, arrogant family

His brothers JoJo, & whatever the oldest one's name is has the same mental issues that Jussie does. Even his sister's are involved in allowing him to be coddled and claim he's innocent and was attacked - STILL. This entire family needs to be canceled and black balled from the entertainment world.

You’re mistaken to blame his parents for this. He is responsible and no one else.

@@bluejava9397 His family hates white people. His mother is a black panther. His whole upbringing he was taught to hate white people. He was literally taught it was okay to use white people as scapegoats for this hoax. Hate and anger.

I feel for you ?I know one myself.

Sounds like you were looking in the mirror😂😂😂

you are a better person than i...maybe, in a perfect world this would work.

I think the only bright side is knowing that his career is over. No studio will want to hire him, and he'll be box-office poison.

As a narcissist he will never do that. He’s probably convinced himself it actually happened. It’s such a waste as he’s a good looking man with opportunities and although I haven’t seen any of his work, I did see that little segment of acting on the end of the Robin Roberts interview: Bravo Jussie, lol.

If he did that maybe he could at some point revive his career.

Jussie can't confess. If he said he is sorry, by law, he is confessing GUILT.

@@Doris1888 personally I always respect anyone who can acknowledge they were wrong and apologise . It’s not easy to do, but I’ve encouraged my kids to remember that you get into far more trouble for telling lies than the thing you are trying to deceive about.

What would you say are the common requirements for serving time and being an actor? How are you able to offer guarantees on the mental health of “most inmates”?

I assure you that he's being treated as well or better than the average inmate. County jails are bad. Much worse than state or federal prisons. He is in isolation. A cakewalk...vacation. Put his ass in population and watch what happens. Anything less than 365 for what he did is a joke as well.

Agree. It would be good to have educational and psychological services for inmates, addiction education, GED and vocational training, etc. but most of the US doesn't grow up in ideal settings and mostly manages to function well enough to not be a parasitical drain on others. If Jussie choses to embrace a change in his thinking and behavior, better late than never, but it's his choice. He's a squeaky wheel demanding resources better devoted to more deserving citizens.

Finally, a comment that seems to have heard him. All the other armchair Psychiatrists missed the compassion part. If someone suffers from a mental health problem that makes them do things that defy a reasonable person's logic, why do we continue to see it as willful?

@@MichelMawon4982 Because one has to be _willing_ to improve. There's a great deal of ego involved with personality disorders which often gets in the way of us improving.

@@Mili-bedili Ego is man/woman's dark side. The ego is what causes all problems in this world. People who have no self awareness and don't know how or simply refuse to regulate their emotions is the main cause of most problems in society. Unfortunately it's a huge percentage of the world's population.

I thought the same! I had already commented and completely blasted Jussie and praised the Judge.....then I heard the rest of the video and was kinda like, wait...huh? I actually took a lot from Dr. Grande's analysis, even though I definitely wasn't expecting it.

Yeah I thought the same thing

For narcisissm, unfortunately you may have to be slapped in the face metaphorically with your problem. Narcissicts can't come to face their reality willingly.

Dr Grande, making laundry more entertaining and educational since 20XX-whatever year his channel started lol. Someone tell me what year that was and if I see it I’ll edit this lol

@The Wraith good call!

Haha, I watch him too when I fold laundry!

They act like he is going to the electric chair! Rather than a few months in jail where he is pampered and protected.

The family is able to enable it because society is enabling this exact thing on a larger scale. Think of the looting and hate and lies the media has allowed in the summer of love.

@@snsmystic they shouldn't. Wrong is wrong.

I think they are afraid of him not having a career. Being considered not guilty could still save him from being banned as an actor.

It’s all about him.

A lot of the time, families can definitely enable and encourage this type of behaviour, so I'm not totally surprised.

@@tizzas1232 it was insane to me- how they justified and defended this farce. They definitely enabled him.

A bunch of loons.

I found his family‘s reaction the most shocking because I can believe they can be one lunatic i.e. Jesse Smollett but the fact that there’s a bunch of them turns into a different creature altogether imagine if there was 100 of them or thousand or they made a political party Jesus

It's a relatively short stint in jail. The man wasted valuable time for investigators, officers, and the courts. Tried to cause further division, and it was indeed a hate crime to me, it's an appropriate punishment. Reason people get jail time is cause people to not want to committ the same crimes again. Now we can talk about how our prison system sucks, but it's designed to be a deterrant.

Excellent comment! 👍

Man you better quit smoking that shit?

I totally agree. There was a case in Toronto of an 11 yr old girl who reported that on her way to school she had her hijab cut by a man. This guy just happened to have a pair of scissors handy. The school paraded her in front of the media. She got all kinds of tweets from everyone on all levels of government (including the Prime Minister). This happened on a Friday and by the end of that weekend, it was announced that it was a hoax. I actually felt kind of badly for her and I thought that the school acted unprofessionally by putting her in front of all those cameras. The big difference between her and Jussie is that she is a CHILD. Kids do dumb things because they are kids. They don't have the maturity/development that an adult does. I think people would have easily forgiven Jussie if he had come forward, just like they forgave this little girl. Unfortunately, Jussie just kept doubling down with his lies to the point where he embarrassed himself and everyone around him. I think he got to the point where he believed his own lies in order to get through this.

@@peggypeggy4137 Well I see he has now been released and I think that is right.I am not saying what he has done has not impacted on people. But to get it in perspective he has not killed or physically harmed anyone. There is so much hate directed towards him in many comments. I hope he gets the psychological help that he clearly needs

Nice profile pic! 👌😎👍💯

Agreed!!!!!

@@joanneblack7697 I second that!!

150 days IS lenient.

I was thinking the same thing: it’s about more than just potentially rehabilitating the offender himself, it’s also a matter of deterring others from trying to pull such stunts.

I thought there was fisting involved also.

Yep! Forgiveness is for me, not the abuser. Forgive but you don't forget.

Very well said

Forgiveness is over-rated. Not others responsibility. To carry another's absolution.

@@sixthsenseamelia4695 it's not absolution. They'll still bear the consequences. Forgiveness isn't for the perpetrator. It's for the victim to heal & move on. Forgive doesn't mean forget.

@@GenXfrom75 I disagree. Nothing to forgive self for. Carrying the burden of forgiveness, is another weight that did not ask to carry.

You're exactly right! Narcs merely learn how to fake empathy and fake remorse.

Doesn't narc mean something else entirely?

The prognosis for treating narcissism is bad, but not impossible. Especially a vulnerable narcissist. I speculate that once you get rid of the beliefs and habits that make them feel inadequate, they'll no longer feel the need to compensate with false grandiosity.

@@SamS-uv2ql yes I’ve never heard someone call a narcissist a narc

@@SamS-uv2ql it's short for narcissist.

How's this attitude working for the US? When someone commits a mass shooting, they've effectively made their problems yours, again I ask, how's that working out?

@@MichelMawon4982 it's called freedom. Sometimes freedom is deadly. Freedom means choices. I don't know how all you people go through life wanting to save the world. Impossible. Just make your bed and control what you can control.

@@royaltyblessed2454 _"Therapy/rehab is always better than just simply throwing one into a hole."_ No, definitely NOT always. How are you on this channel not knowing some people really ARE permanently dangerous? If your childhood had been as hellish as mine, you'd know. Some people (NOT Jussie, by the way) NEED to be thrown into a hole permanently, because they've already destroyed the lives of at least one child and often more than one, and WE can never be what we could have been. There are real people who are as dangerous as the fictional character Hannibal Lector, and who are congenitally incapable of empathy and compassion. Jussie, I think (and many other people) would benefit from therapy, and could eventually lead a more productive life. . . Or at least a less destructive life. So although his hoax will make things harder for REAL victims, it's not as if he r*ped a child or something vicious like that. But there ARE people who HAVE done things for which they absolutely deserve to be thrown into a hole till the day they die.

@@TILLEYJS lmao like only Americans are free. Most of Europe and Canada are free and we don't have shooters killing people every day. Just Americans!

@@TILLEYJS In this world, my thinking causes suffering, but I live my life believing that if one person can bring death and destruction to millions, one person can change hearts and minds for the better. Daily, I am the difference I want to see in others.

Well said. I once heard a judge say "you can't be the victim of your own crime." I think that applies here

There's been many other people given much harsher sentences than Jussie received for doing far less. He needs the jail time so he can think about what he did and to learn how to apologize. Had he have apologized he would not have went to jail at all.

He also committed crimes against the city of Chicago, and its taxpayers. This is not a victimless crime.

Amen!

Well said. While intense mental health therapy might be a good idea in theory, there are studies that suggest people with severe narcissism don’t respond well to therapy typically, although there can be exceptions. They don’t believe they need therapy. Also, how will a narcissist working with victims of narcissistic abuse for community service establish empathy in the narcissist if narcissists don’t have empathy? No easy answers unfortunately.

Spot on!
