The 42-year-old actor, who recently made a comeback to the big screen with his latest film, “The Lost Holliday,” has, according to experts, not only “hit bottom” in terms of his professional career, but he has also become more “delusional” in his attempts to claim innocence.
It will take some time for him to push off the floor and actually begin swimming back to the surface because he has already reached the bottom.
Doug Eldridge, founder of Achilles PR, told News. “That said, you can either give up and float to the top or you can swim against the current back to the top. However, your career only has a pulse in one of those two scenarios.
It’s possible [Smollett may always be viewed as a liar],” Eldridge added. “The real question is whether his career will recover in spite of it.”
A representative for Smollett did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
