The new mugshot of Jussie Smollett has been released.

The former star of "Empire" was sentenced to 150 days in jail and 30 months of supervised release for making up a story about being the victim of a racist and homophobic attack. He was fined $25,000 and ordered to pay more than $120,000 in damages to the city of Chicago.

In December, a jury found him guilty of five counts of disorderly conduct, but not of the sixth count of battery.

The actor and two other men are accused of orchestrating a hoax. The men put a rope around his neck, splashed him with bleach and called him racist and homophobic, according to the man. Police concluded that he hired two brothers to help him fake the attack.

The brothers were also arrested. They worked on the set of Empire and were eventually released.

Police said at the time that he planned the fake incident to further his career.

In his new mugshot, which was taken after he was sentenced on Thursday, he appears stone-faced and emotion-free.

During his sentencing hearing on Thursday, Cook County Circuit Judge James Linn ripped into Smollett, calling him a "charlatan pretending to be a victim of a hate crime."

The actor claimed that he would not harm himself behind bars.

He said he was not suicidal.

He was sentenced to serve the first night of his sentence.
