Will Smith Resigns From Academy After Slapping Chris Rock At Oscars

The actor was facing disciplinary measures such as possible expulsion or expulsion from the Academy. Instead, he chose to resign. In a statement, Smith described his actions as “shocking, painful and unforgivable” and said he would accept any “further consequences” that the Academy could decide. “The list of those I have hurt is long and includes Chris, his family, many of my loved ones and loved ones, everyone in attendance and the global audience at home,” Smith said in a statement. “I betrayed the trust of the Academy. I deprived other candidates and winners of the opportunity to celebrate and be honored for their outstanding work. I’m cracked. “ Smith added: “I want to refocus on those who deserve attention for their achievements and allow the Academy to return to the incredible work it does to support creativity and the art of cinema.” His statement concluded: “Change takes time and I pledge to do my job to ensure that I will never again allow violence to transcend reason.” Smith’s resignation comes after the actor took to the stage during the Oscars and hit Rock after the comedian made a joke about Smith’s wife and fellow actress Jada Pinkett Smith. “Janta, I love you. GI Jane 2, I look forward to seeing you “, he said ironically in an obvious reference to the shaved head of the actor. Register Pinkett Smith – who announced last year that she shaved her head after battling alopecia – appeared in public with her husband, rolling her eyes at the joke. After Rock’s comment, Smith got up and walked over to the stage. “Oh oh …” Rock was heard muttering. Smith then continued to beat Rock and then left the stage back in place. “Will Smith just kicked my stone,” Rock said, visibly shocked at the time. Then Smith was heard shouting, “Keep my wife’s name out of your mouth,” to which Rock replied, “Wow … dude. It was a funny GI Jane. “ “Keep my wife’s name out of your mouth,” Smith shouted again. “I’m going to …” replied the comedian, who appeared confused in the interaction. “This was the biggest night in the history of television,” Rock said before moving on to the Best Documentary Award.
