Jussie Smollett: His Birth Order Unmasks Him
Jussie Smollett
Jussie
Smollett is an openly gay actor, photographer
and singer. He is a cast member
of the show “Empire”
where he plays the character Jamal Lyon. In March of
2019
he was charged with faking a hate crime in
Chicago. His case was dropped by the
Cook County
State’s prosecutor further complicating the issue. A
look at his
birth order will unmask his personality and
try to make sense of it all.
The Family
His father,
Joel Smollett immigrated from Russia and
worked as a cable splicer. He married
Janet Smollett an
African American. Together they had six children. Jojo
in
1977, Jazz in 1980, Justin “Jussie” in 1982, Jurnee in
1986, Jake in 1989 and
Jocqui in 1994. All have been
successful
in the entertainment industry. Working as
models, actors, and musicians. In
addition, the children
have made many commercials. Their parents understood
the pressures the kids
would face being biracial and tried
to prepare them for their adult lives. The
young family
moved from New York to Los Angeles to find more
opportunities for
their children.
Acting and Activism
Jussie’s
parents met in the San Francisco Bay area in the
60’s where they were
campaigning for civil rights,
working closely with the Black Panthers. Many of
the
friends they made during this period are still friends
today. They
instilled this activism in their children who
have worked for HIV/Aids
prevention, the ending of
apartheid in South Africa, the Black Lives Matter
movement, and artists for a New South Africa. Jussie’s
sister worked in both of
Obama’s presidential campaigns
in 2008 and 2012. On Twitter Jussie has 1.3
million
followers hearing his political view point.
Jussie a Third born
In this
family of six Jussie is the Third born. The Third
born is the child that is
acutely aware of all the relationships
between everyone in the family. They are
hyper sensitive
children but will not let others see that side. They are
laughing on the outside but crying on the inside. When
under a lot of pressure
this is not a good combination for
they appear that they are in no need of
help. The Third born
is a gentle soul. His co-workers describe his
collaborative
nature, warm demeanor and good work ethic. We get another
view in
an interview with Billboard, Jussie said, “I don’t
believe in happiness because
I feel like happiness is an
emotion that can be taken away.” Debbie Allen said,
“He’s a
good guy but he’s also an actor, and actors sometimes crave
attention,
and that comes out in weird ways.”
The Third Born is Open to New Ideas
If there is
one characteristic that Third borns have in
common is that they are open to new
ideas and are
willing to try things other birth orders would not. He
sees his
gay life style as nothing to hide. He told Ellen
DeGeneres in 2015 that he has
never been in the closet.
“My mama knows;
my mama likes me a lot.” “Honestly,
we’re humans and we love and we do all that
good stuff…
” Third borns open minds are at risk for drug
experimentation and
alcohol abuse. So far this has not
been part of Jussie’s life.
Third Borns Save the World
Another
characteristic of the Third born is their view
of the world. They want to make
it better for everyone.
Jussie’s parents certainly showed him that the world
was
bigger than just the family. As a Third born he would
want to “save” the
world and make big changes. This
may have been the reason he staged the hate
crime.
Others see his actions differently. Tarana Burke said
“My heart breaks
even more if Smollett faked his own
attack because of the intersectionality of
who he is as a
person.
Final Outcome Unfolding
Jussie has
yet to admit he staged the hate crime. The
city
of Chicago gave him a bill for $130,000 and 15 cents. He
has refused to
pay. A group of suburban Chicago police
chiefs are calling for Cook County
State’s Attorney Kim
Foxx to resign. Her office dropped all 16 felony counts
against him. A civil lawsuit is sure to follow.
Update 2-11-2020
Today Jussie was indicted on charges of lying to police.
He now faces six counts of disorderly conduct. #Jussie Smollett

Update 3-11-2022
Jussie was found guilty on 12-9-2022 of a staged anti-gay racist
attack. He was sentenced today to 30 months of probation and 150
days in jail. He was ordered to pay the court $145,000 dollars. When
leaving the courtroom he yelled that he was innocent and not suicidal.
All of these actions are in keeping with his birth order. In his mind
as a #3 he really believes his story.

Laurel and Hardy the Magic When Double Birth Orders Match
Time magazine
described them as “two of American’s few
genuinely creative comedians.” They
were introduced to the
public in the mid-1920’s by producer Hal Roach. They
started
in silent film shorts, Duck Soup was
first then moving
to talkie’s in
1929. They won an Oscar in 1932 for the film
The Music Box, here they lugged a piano up a staircase. A
look at
their birth orders will unlock the magic of their
chemistry for these two very
different appearing men.
Stan Laurel 2/0
Stan Laurel
was born Arthur Stanley Jefferson in Cumbria,
England June 16, 1890. His father
managed vaudeville
theaters, and his mother was an actress. In 1907, working
for a theater group, Stan was the understudy for actor
Charlie Chaplin. He was
the second of five children. His
older brother George was five years older, sister
Beatrice
was four years younger. This separation in siblings gave
Stan a
Two/Only Double birth order. The number two birth
order does not like to be
told what to do and looks to control
their own life. When four of more years
separate siblings
you add the Only birth order, it magnifies and intensifies
this and other second born traits. Stan did most of the
writing and was the brain
behind the gags. It was always
self-deprecating humor not at the expense of
someone else.
Oliver Hardy 6/0 = 2/0
Norvell
Hardy was born in Harlem, Georgia January 18, 1892.
His father died when he was
ten months old. His mother was
married and widowed three times and had five
children and
one step child. Norvell was the last and sixth child, He later
adopted his late father’s name, Oliver. As a young child his
mother encouraged
his singing talent, at age eight he was
performing in local minstrel shows.
Later, he received
professional training at the Atlantic Conservatory of
Music.
Norvell was four years younger than his older brother. This
gave him the
addition of the Only birth order along with his
number six. The series of birth
order numbers begins again
after number four. In this second group of four the
six child
displays characteristics of the number two from the first group,
it’s
strength is a little bit diminished, similar to the difference
between primary
and secondary colors. His 6/0 birth order
matches with Stan’s 2/0. He began is acting career in 1915
working for
the Lubin Company in Jacksonville, Florida.
Stan and Oliver Together
Their first
movie was A Lucky Dog in 1917, in
1926 they
were paired in Forty-five
Minutes from Hollywood. This is
when
everyone noticed their chemistry. In comedy timing is
everything and they made
it look so easy. They made
hundreds of films together becoming lifelong
friends. When
you find someone with your same birth order the friendship
is
very easy as you see the world the same way and react to
life’s situations
similarly. They both had multiple marriages
but their friendship outlasted them
all. Laurel the slim,
sad-eyed mime, and Hardy another master mime with the
bowler hat and withering glare. “Now that’s another nice
mess you’ve gotten me
into.” he would say, as Laurel was
the butt of all the jokes.
The 2/0 Has Great Endurance
They rose to
fame during the Great Depression. Their
health
worsened as they got older, Hardy due to his obesity, Stan
had
diabetes, prostate issues and colitis. They had the
strength to continue to
work. Their tours were quite
physically exhausting. They couldn’t make more
movies,
instead did tours in England. They never owned their films
and
didn’t receive income from the reruns. Ollie died in
1957 at age 65, Stan in
1965 at age 74.
Sons of the Desert
As a tribute
to their work in 1965 their fans founded,
Sons
of the Desert, an appreciation society. The membership
included Jonathan Winters,
Dick Cavett, Dick Van Dyke and
Soupy Sales.
