Jussie Smollett‘s lawyers have wasted no time demanding his release from jail — at least while his appeal plays out — claiming he risks being harmed (physically and microbially) every second he stays behind bars, reports TMZ.

They claim the clip — which is laced with racist and homophobic slurs — is just one example of what they say has been a deluge of hate sent their way — and they fear that’ll translate into real-world violence against their brother on the inside.
