The Empire was targeted by racist thugs who shouted 'MAGA' – a reference to Donald Trump's campaign slogan 'Make America Great Again.'
Actor Jussie, 36, said: "I'm p***ed off. It's the attackers, but it's also the attacks."
Holding back tears, he said:"Like, you know, at first it was the thing of like, listen, if I tell the truth then that's it because it's the truth. Then it became a thing of, like, how can you doubt that? How can you not believe that? It's the truth.
"Then it became a thing of, like, it's not necessarily that you don't believe that this is the truth. You don't even want to see the truth."
The performer went back to work two weeks ago for the first time since two masked men attacked him and put a rope around his neck in Chicago, USA, in January.
The Chicago Sun Times reported that he told the crowd at the Troubador in West Hollywood: "The most important thing I can say is ‘thank you so much, and I’m OK."
"I’m not fully healed yet, but I’m going to be, and I’m gonna stand strong with y’all."
Detectives have recovered more surveillance footage of Jussie walking home from a Subway restaurant that morning, including video of him arriving at his apartment building with a rope around his neck.
However, his phone records were rejected by police for being heavily redacted’ in the investigation into his brutal racist attack.
TMZ reported that the PDF file the 35-year-old star submitted could have been "manipulated" – claiming that numbers may have been added or deleted – although police told the publication that there is no evidence that the file had been altered.
Reports of the attack drew both a flood of outrage and support for Jussie on social media.
Some of the outrage stemmed from Jussie's account to detectives that his attackers yelled that he was in "MAGA country," a reference to Donald Trump's campaign slogan "Make America Great Again".
