Talk about a plot twist worthy of reality TV! Bryshere Gray—known for his role in “Empire”—has had his assault and battery charges dropped, and it’s all thanks to his friend, Dustin “Chosen” Wilkins. Initially, Wilkins filed a criminal complaint after claiming Gray physically attacked him at a hotel. But this friendship isn’t one for the faint-hearted; Wilkins later switched gears and asked the court to dismiss the charge, leading to everyone scratching their heads in disbelief.
It seems that rather than wanting to see his friend behind bars, Wilkins had a different agenda—he’s been looking out for Gray’s mental health. His idea? Pressing charges could jumpstart a much-needed treatment plan for Gray. A true friend moves mountains, or in this case, navigates the courtroom in an effort to get help! It’s a reminder that sometimes friendships come with unexpected, messy turns, and it’s always good to encourage those in need to find the right support.
Now the big question looms: What’s next for Gray? He’s reportedly stepping back from the spotlight after this whirlwind, leaving many to wonder if the drama of Hollywood is too much for him right now. So, do you think Wilkins did the right thing by pressing charges only to later backtrack for Gray’s wellbeing? This drama would make for quite a compelling episode, wouldn’t it?
