She has a recurring role as Chicken on Fox's Empire.

And on Tuesday, AzMarie Livingston reacted swiftly to news that actor Jussie Smollett has had all charges against him dropped in Chicago.

The 32-year-old actress told People: 'I’m happy his charges are being dropped and look forward to seeing Jussie on set and his character Jamal back on Empire.'

Happy: She has a recurring role as Chicken on Fox's Empire. And on Tuesday, AzMarie Livingston, 32, told People she's looking forward to having Jussie Smollett back on set

Hit show: Livingston is pictured standing between the show's stars Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson in a scene from the season 2 finale that aired in 2016

Famous role: Smollett stars as R&B singer-songwriter Jamal Lyon, one of three sons of Lucious Lyon, a hip hop mogul and CEO of Empire Entertainment

There was also a public show of support from the writers on the hit drama that stars Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard.

Smollett, 36, was cut from the final two episodes of Empire after he was charged with 16 felony counts for allegedly lying to police about being the victim of a homophobic and racist attack in Chicago.

But Tuesday @EmpireWriters tweeted out a screenshot of CNN coverage of the Smollett decision along with: 'See y’all Wednesday' and a winking emoji.

Fox put out a statement which said: 'Jussie Smollett has always maintained his innocence and we are gratified that all charges against him have been dismissed.'

'Gratified': The Fox network also issued a statement although so far there's been no official word of the actor's reinstatement on Empire

The second half of Season 5 returned to the air on March 13 without Smollett's character.

Days after Smollett's February 20 arrest, Empire co-creators Lee Daniels and Brett Mahoney explained in a statement: 'The events of the past few weeks have been incredibly emotional for all of us. Jussie has been an important member of our EMPIRE family for the past five years and we care about him deeply. While these allegations are very disturbing, we are placing our trust in the legal system as the process plays out.'

Speaking outside court on Tuesday, Smollett told the media that he had been 'truthful and consistent on every single level since day one.'

He went on: 'I would not be my mother's son if I was capable of even one drop of what I have been accused of.'

'This has been an incredibly difficult time, honestly one of the worst of my entire life. But I am a man of faith and I am a man that has knowledge of my history.'

Relieved: Speaking outside the Leighton Criminal Courthouse in Chicago on Tuesday, Smollett told the media that he had been ' truthful and consistent on every single level since day one'

The Smollett family also put out a statement rejoicing that the actor had been 'vindicated.'

'Our son and brother is an innocent man whose name and character has been unjustly smeared,' the statement read. 'Jussie is a son, a brother, a partner, a champion for human rights, and a genuine soul who would never be capable of what he was falsely accused of. He was the victim of an assault and then falsely blamed for his own attack. This morning truth has prevailed.'

Smollett claimed he was attacked on January 29 by two men he said he could not identify and who he said called him racial and homophobic slurs.

On Tuesday, an emergency hearing was scheduled during which the charges were suddenly dropped. Smollett agreed to surrender his $10,000 bond but walked out of court a free man.

Support: Smollett left court a free man accompanied by his attorney Patrica Brown Holmes, far right, and family members. His family said in a statement that 'truth has prevailed'

There is no doubt that brothers Abel and Ola Osundairo attacked him but so far, no other motive other than that Smollett asked them to and paid them to do it has emerged.

It remains unclear what prompted the decision but the Cook County's State's Attorney's office said it was due in part to Smollett's 'volunteer service in the community.'

It didn't take long for Chicago's mayor and chief police officer to hit back at his claims of innocence.

They slammed prosecutors' decision to drop all charges against him on Tuesday.

Furious: Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel joined Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie T. Johnson on Tuesday at a press conference to condemn the outcome in the Jussie Smollett case

Speaking at a press conference with the equally enraged Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie T. Johnson on Tuesday, Mayor Rahm Emanuel insisted repeatedly that Smollett was guilty of staging a hoax attack on January 29 and that he did it for a pay raise on Empire.

'Without a doubt this is a whitewash of justice and sends a clear message that if you are in a position of influence and power, you'll be treated one way.

Assistant State's Attorney Joe Magats said he had decided to drop the charges because Smollett was not a violent threat to the community

'It is wrong,' Mayor Emanuel said.

He went on to condemn Smollett for speaking out after the court hearing and protesting his innocence.

'Mr. Smollett is still saying that he is innocent, still running down the Chicago Police Department... how dare him. How dare him after everybody saw. Is there no decency in this man?'

Johnson, who publicly condemned Smollett last month and said his lies were 'despicable', also slammed the star for asking that the evidence be sealed.

'I would want my day in court to clear my name. They wanted their day in court with TV cameras,' he said, referring to Smollett's team allowing cameras in the courtroom.

Smollett was indicted on 16 felony counts that were returned by a grand jury which Emanuel said it proved that it was not just the police department which thought he was guilty.
