Empire actor Jussie Smollett spoke in public for the first time about his attack with Good Morning America's Robin Roberts. During the sit-down, Jussie addressed his critics and said he was "pissed off" about people doubting his story. 

He stated, "It's like, you know, at first, it was a thing of, like, 'Listen, if I tell the truth then that's it, 'cause it's the truth. Then it became a thing of like, 'Oh, how can you doubt that? Like, how do you — how do you not believe that? It's the truth.' And then it became a thing of like, 'Oh, it's not necessarily that you don't believe that this is the truth, you don't even want to see the truth." 

The full interview is set to air on Thursday (February 14) morning.
