Will Smith has reportedly resigned from The Academy in the wake of the Chris Rock Oscars slap.
Pinkett Smith revealed several years ago that she was diagnosed with alopecia. She has in the past explained on social media that her condition has led to hair loss.
A statement has been released by Will Smith's spokesperson following the actor's decision to step down from The Academy. "I will fully accept any and all consequences for my conduct. My actions at the 94th Academy Awards presentation were shocking, painful, and inexcusable," Smith said, in part, in the statement."I have directly responded to the Academy’s disciplinary hearing notice, and I will fully accept any and all consequences for my conduct. My actions at the 94th Academy Awards presentation were shocking, painful, and inexcusable.
"We have received and accepted Mr. Will Smith's immediate resignation from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. We will continue to move forward with our disciplinary proceedings against Mr. Smith for violations of the Academy’s Standards of Conduct, in advance of our next scheduled board meeting on April 18."Rock appeared in his scheduled comedy tour stop in Boston Wednesday and briefly addressed the Oscars controversy.
"How was your weekend?" Rock asked the sold-out crowd at the Wilbur, a theater of 1,200 seats in South Boston. "I had a whole list of jokes before this week happened."Rock declined to file criminal charges against Smith. A producer for the Oscars revealed Thursday that the Los Angeles Police Department was ready to arrest Smith but Rock stepped in to tell officers to not take any actions.
