These hoaxes have actually been an epidemic since at least the 2000s and several hundred have been documented so far (https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2019/02/22/jussie-smollett-empire-attack-fired-cut-video-chicago-fox-column/2950146002/; probably the tip of the iceberg), but they've skyrocketed the last couple of years with virtually every alleged "hate crime" that's been splashed across national headlines and seized on as an excuse to bash the Trump supporting half of the country proving to be a hoax when the truth came out. Smollett is the most famous perp so far. Hopefully a long prison sentence will help dissuade this trend.
