When Madison asks if he was mad at Smollett, Daniels said, “I was. I was confused.”
When she asks what happened in the situation, he explained, “He says it didn’t happen. And so I have to believe him..because he says it didn’t happen. So I have to believe that he believes that it didn’t happen. I have to believe him. Because that’s the boy that I cast and that’s the boy that I love.”
He added, “It’s too painful to talk about,” before telling Madison that he cried “like a b***h” during the ordeal.
