The Academy Awards just announced that Will Smith broke the rules of the Academy by slapping Chris Rock and was asked to leave, but refused. No mention of him losing his Oscar or any other punishment. What a ridiculous " investigation".

He should have been escorted out by security, how could they just let him refuse??

It further stated, the Board doesn't meet until April 18th and a decision whether to suspend or expulsion or any further measures will be decided. This board must be brain dead.They should have walked him out in hand cuffs. Why give him a choice????

Because the Academy knew he was being given an Oscar coming up and whoever asked him to leave was probably not supposed to IMO. That would have made a bigger to do of it. Chris intentionally insulted and embarrassed Jada and he needs taken down a notch. A hair loss is an emotional issue and I feel for her. Of course slapping someone is not the thing to do but it happened in the emotion of the moment. I'm just glad he didn't punch him which seems more like a man would do instead of slapping. Thank goodness for that.

Slap on the wrist and off he goes to play. Jerk.

TMZ quoted Jada Pinkett Smith stating she didn't give two cr-ps what people thought about her bald head. So now she cares during the Academy Awards. Give me a break!! This was about something else.

Just read the full statement. We all got an apology but not before Mr. Rock as he should. Class act statement and apology for all who deserved one. My faith in the future of mankind is up a notch tonight.
I hope they nail Will to the wall in a couple weeks. If schools can play zero tolerance with our kids, adults should be able to handle the consequences as well.

Time will tell if they have the b@lls to do anything about this atrocious behavior on the part of Will Smith. Me...I'm not betting on it. Very few are held accountable for their actions anymore. Look the other way and run and star again.

Will thought it was funny until Jaden didn't. Will was wrong.

In. 1991 video Will Smith is making fun of a bald man. I guess for him to do it was ok.
