If it turns out Smollet staged the whole thing, then sadly, I do have to hope the repercussions are severe. But for me, it's not because I'm furious and I want Smollet to pay. It's because the repercussions for Smollet will then serve as a deterrent to others who might feel tempted to try something similar.

When it comes to Smollet himself, presuming he staged it all, I just mostly feel sad. Shame on him for crying wolf. But I don't believe he did it because he wanted attention. I suspect it was the homophobia and systemic racism he has witnessed and also experienced that motivated him.
His outrage and his desire to take action and have a real effect is very understandable. Unfortunately the action he choose to take was completely unsupportable, and the effect it will have is the opposite of what he intended.

Ah, your one of those, "He was trying to open a dialogue" people.

No. I don't think that was what he was doing at all.
