I disagree. He just "reacted" to something he never initiated. A HUGE difference....extremely significant one. Smollett fabricated an entire racist event making himself the victim. Wallace...not even close to same.
If I were advising Wallace, I probably would have recommended he handled his reaction differently. But the 2 people here (Wallace v Smollett) are not very similar.
There was nothing wrong with his INITIAL reaction. But once the truth about the matter came out, it was time for him to shut up. His milking of the incident since then, especially since, from what I have heard, he never actually saw the noose himself, is what likens him, albeit in a small way, to Smollett. He seems to me to be playing the victim game. True, Smollett initiated that game in his case, and Bubba did not, but, as I said, the best thing he could do is just deal with earlier statements and now keep his mouth shut.
