<p>A lawyer for Olabinjo Osundairo and Abimbola Osundairo filed the US federal lawsuit in Chicago on behalf of the brothers.</p>
<p>It names Mark Geragos and his law firm as defendants.</p>

<p>The suit alleges that Mr Geragos and his firm continued to say publicly in widely reported statements that the brothers “led a criminally homophobic, racist and violent attack against Mr Smollett”, even though they knew that wasn’t true.</p>
<p>Police allege that Smollett paid the brothers to help him stage a January 29 attack in which he said two masked men beat him, hurled racist and homophobic slurs at him, doused him with some sort of chemical substance and looped a rope around his neck.</p>
<p>Smollett, who is black and gay, maintains that the attack was not staged.</p>
