For months, Jason Mitchell has been encased in controversy. The actor was a featured member of The Chi cast, but last year rumors surfaced about his alleged inappropriate behavior on set. There were many details given about what Mitchell was actually accused of doing, but it reportedly caused his co-star Tiffany Boone to ask production to release her from her contract.

Tiffany has spoken about her experience, albeit enigmatically. The actress shared that she hoped to be an example to others while never divulging what she went through. Mitchell later sat down with The Breakfast Club about the allegations, revealing that he isn’t even sure what he was being accused of in the first place. He told the hosts that he was let go without being informed of whatever he allegedly did wrong.

On Wednesday (April 22), The Shade Room reported that Jason Mitchell was arrested. The actor was reportedly taken into custody in Mississippi on gun and drug charges. The 33-year-old has already been released and few details regarding his arrest have been made available. He’s accused of allegedly possessing “a controlled substance as well as a glock 19 and a ‘mini draco,'” records reportedly state. Mitchell hasn’t made a statement about the report.

Now that she’s gearing up to star alongside Al Pacino in Jordan Peele’s new series Hunters on Amazon Prime Video, Tiffany Boone has finally moved past her time on Showtime’s hit series The Chi which she unfortunately left under controversial circumstances. The move was influenced by shocking misconduct allegations against co-star and on-screen boyfriend Jason Mitchell, and she took a minute earlier today to speak out on that tough decision.

Spotted with all smiles alongside the rest of the cast back in January 2018 during a press tour for The Chi in Pasadena (seen above), Boone would eventually make her exit before the year was over followed by Mitchell being fired in May 2019. She reflects back on the latter incident while penning an extensive three-page note, describing that evening at her apartment in Brooklyn before all the allegations came to light in the press as “blissful ignorance.” Throughout the note, she addresses just how hard it was to leave a hit show, ultimately realizing she couldn’t compromise her morals for fame and the praise that comes with being a big-time TV star. Her note also points towards not wanting to participate in a “he said, she said” debate that may come from speaking in detail about what all went on, adding “she said, she said” in there too to signify that issues with HR and Waithe herself may have played a part as well. Overall, we’re just glad she was able to bounce back and not focus too much on the negativity.

Jordan Peele has seen major success over the past few years in Hollywood, ranging from his big screen hits Get Out and Us to hosting a small screen revival of the classic sci-fi series The Twilight Zone on CBS All Access. Now he’s gearing up to hunt Nazis over on Amazon Prime Video with Hunters. Oh, and it’s most definitely going to be a gory story based off the newly-released Red Band trailer.

The series is adapted from true events and will see veteran actor Al Pacino starring as Meyer Offerman, leader of a Nazi-hunting collective in 1970s NYC that come across Nazis hiding out in the Big Apple with plans of assembling a “Fourth Reich” in America. Pacino is accompanied by an ally of troops that include Tiffany Boone (The Chi), Logan Lerman (The Perks of Being a Wallflower), Jerrika Hinton (Grey’s Anatomy) and Josh Radnor (How I Met Your Mother) amongst others. Based off the R-rating and Peele’s involvement overall, this one is sure to be a must-watch when it premieres later this month.

Check for Hunters to begin streaming on Amazon Prime Video starting February 21, but peep the Red Band trailer below in the meantime to get the full effect of excitement:

Good news for fans of Jordan Peele and watching Nazis get served: the highly anticipated action-thriller series, Hunters, produced by Peele’s company, Monkeypaw Productions, will officially be available for streaming on February 21st on Amazon Prime. The series, which is set in New York City in the 1970s, follows a group of skilled “hunters” who set out on a quest to take down a massive string of undercover Nazis residing in America who plan to create a Fourth Reich in the U.S. The premise of the series, which was originally titled The Hunt, is based on true events that occurred in 1977. Along with the release date, Amazon Prime dropped the official trailer, which gives viewers a better idea of what to expect.

Veteran actor Al Pacino is the series lead, playing a Holocaust survivor named Meyer Offerman. His character co-founded the vigilante hunting squad before the events of the series take place, alongside the late grandmother of Logan Lerman’s character, Jonah Heidelbaum. The “Psycho Killer”-featured trailer introduces us to each hunter, including a lock-picker, a spy, a soldier, a master of disguise, and two weapons experts. Along with Pacino and Lerman, the main cast includes Jerrika Hinton, Josh Radnor, Kate Mulvany, Tiffany Boone, Louis Ozawa Changchien, Dylan Baker, Carol Kane, and Lena Olin.
