Photos of Jussie Smollett and his alleged attacker Bola Osundairo have surfaced just hours after the prosecution cross-examined him in court.
In the photos –– which date back as far as July 2018 –– Jussie and Bola are pictured posing next to each other, smiling. TMZ first reported the photos, which show the two out and about together on seemingly three separate occasions. There's also a video the two that they recorded while inside of a Chicago nightclub, LiqrBox.
One of the photos is reportedly dated January 19, 2019 –– which would've taken just 10 days before Jussie was allegedly attacked by Bola and his brother, Abel.
Abel is not in any of the pictures with Jussie and Bola. Earlier this week, Jussie testified that he didn't trust Abel, but considered Bola a friend.

News of the photos come just a day after Jussie stepped down from the stand in his trial for the alleged hate crime attack carried out by the Osundairo brothers.
Last week, Bola testified Jussie orchestrated the attack himself and paid Bola and his brother to do it –– alleging the former Empire star instructed them on what to do and how to do it.
Jussie is facing six counts of disorderly conduct on suspicion of making false reports to Chicago police.
Closing arguments are set to begin Wednesday (December 8).
