Will Smith asked to leave Oscars after slap but refused, Academy says
As a result of Smith's actions, the Academy has provided the actor with"15 days notice of a vote regarding his violations and sanctions, and the opportunity to be heard beforehand by means of a written response." The Academy said it may decide to take other disciplinary action, including suspension, expulsion or other sanctions, at its next board meeting April 18.
In a previous statement Monday afternoon, the Academy said it planned to investigate the incident:"The Academy condemns the actions of Mr. Smith at last night's show. We have officially started a formal review around the incident and will explore further action and consequences in accordance with our Bylaws, Standards of Conduct and California law."
This was a step further than the Academy's statement just after Sunday night's show, which said the organization does not condone violence.As Rock presented the award for best documentary feature, the comedian made a joke about Pinkett Smith. Rock said he couldn't wait to see her star in"G.I. Jane 2," referencing her shaved head.
Last year, Pinkett Smith said she went bald after daughter Willow encouraged her to do so. She also revealed she has had alopecia, anMonday condemning violence"in all its forms" and apologizing to Rock, the Academy, the Oscars' producers, everyone in attendance and everyone watching from home. "My behavior at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable," he wrote, adding that he"reacted emotionally.""I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness."
