		</div><p>The creator of Empire has revealed the cast’s “anger and sadness” over the Jussie Smollett incident.</p>
<p>US actor Smollett has been removed from the final episodes of season five of the FX musical drama amid allegations he lied to police over an alleged assault.</p>
<p>Smollett is accused of hiring two men to stage a racist and homophobic attack on him in downtown Chicago on January 29.</p>
<p>He has appeared in court to deny 16 counts of disorderly conduct.</p>
<p>Ahead of Empire’s return to the screen in the US on Wednesday, series creator Lee Daniels shared a video to Instagram and said the period since Smollett’s arrest had been a “rollercoaster”.</p>
<p>He said: “Me and my cast have experienced pain, anger, sadness and frustration, and really don’t know how to deal with it.”</p>
<p>Daniels said the episode of Empire airing on Wednesday was filmed “prior to the incident”.</p>

<p>He said the show, which follows a hip-hop music mogul and his family, was made, “to bring America together, to talk about the atrocities that are happening right now on the streets”.</p>
<p>Chicago police allege Smollett organised the attack as a publicity stunt because he was unhappy with his salary on Empire.</p>
<p>Smollett denies the accusations. He is next scheduled to appear in court on April 17.</p>
