After slapping Chris Rock, actor Will Smith was asked to leave the Oscars ceremony but refused, Academy Awards officials claimed Wednesday.
Will Smith slaps Chris Rock onstage at the 94th Academy Awards at the Dolby Theatre on March 27, 2022. "If that's the case, they let him accept his best actor trophy, speak for five to seven minutes, uninterrupted, didn't try to play him off," Davis said. "The Board of Governors today initiated disciplinary proceedings against Mr. Smith for violations of the Academy's Standards of Conduct, including inappropriate physical contact, abusive or threatening behavior, and compromising the integrity of the Academy," they said in a statement.
Will Smith issued an apology to Rock Monday, stating that his behavior was"out of line" and"not indicative of the man I want to be."
