Will Smith Banned From Attending Oscars For Ten Years Over Chris Rock Slap
Will Smith will not be able to attend the Oscars in person for ten years after slapping Chris Rock in the face during the 94th Academy Awards show Sunday, March 27 following a joke Rock made about Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head amid her hair loss battle.
“The 94th Oscars were meant to be a celebration of the many individuals in our community who did incredible work this past year; however, those moments were overshadowed by the unacceptable and harmful behavior we saw Mr. Smith exhibit on stage,” an “Open Letter to Our Academy Family” sent by Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences CEO Dawn Hudson and President David Rubin read, reported The Hollywood Reporter.
“During our telecast, we did not adequately address the situation in the room,” the letter added. “For this, we are sorry. This was an opportunity for us to set an example for our guests, viewers and our Academy family around the world, and we fell short — unprepared for the unprecedented.”
“Today, the Board of Governors convened a meeting to discuss how best to respond to Will Smith’s actions at the Oscars, in addition to accepting his resignation,” it continued. ” The Board has decided, for a period of 10 years from April 8, 2022, Mr. Smith shall not be permitted to attend any Academy events or programs, in person or virtually, including but not limited to the Academy Awards.”
