Will Smith resigns from film academy over Chris Rock slap

Associated Press  

LOS ANGELES — Will Smith resigned Friday from the motion picture academy following his Oscars night slap of Chris Rock and said he would accept any further punishment the organization imposed. My actions at the 94th Academy Awards presentation were shocking, painful, and inexcusable.” Film academy president David Rubin said Smith’s resignation was accepted. “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.” Smith loses voting privileges with his resignation. After Smith’s attack, he returned to his seat and angrily twice shouted at Rock to “get my wife’s name out your mouth.” When Smith took the stage again less than hour later to accept his Oscar, he tearfully apologized to the academy but notably omitted any mention of Rock.
