Disgraced Empire actor Jussie Smollett was sentenced to 150 days jail for “selfishly, arrogantly and narcissistically” staging a hate crime hoax that a judge said had “destroyed his life” and was designed solely to satisfy his “craving” for attention.

He was also sentenced to 30 months probation and fined $120,000.
