The Academy Awards Demanded Actor Will Smith Leave After He Violently Slapped Autistic Comedian Chris Rock Across The Face But He Refused

Chris Rock was slapped across the face by Will Smith

Hollywood actor and cultist, Will Smith, had a psychotic break during the Academy Awards telecast this past Sunday. Will insanely went on stage and slapped comedian Chris Rock across the face in a violent and degrading manner.

It was appalling. This was all over an innocuous joke about Will's wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith, and her shaved head. Then, Will went back to his seat and cursed at Chris from the audience in stating "Keep my wife's name out of your f**king mouth!"

Today it was reported the Academy told Will to leave the venue, but he refused. The Academy stated, "Things unfolded in a way we could not have anticipated,” the academy said. “While we would like to clarify that Mr. Smith was asked to leave the ceremony and refused, we also recognize we could have handled the situation differently.”

Smith remained at the show and collected the Oscar for "Best Actor" which as stated previously on the site, in my humble opinion, should have gone to Denzel Washington. Will won for the biopic "King Richard" which is about the life of Richard Williams, who is the father of tennis greats Venus Williams and Serena Williams. However, in my opinion, Will failed to capture Richard Williams correctly. Will appeared weak in the role.

Growing up as a tennis fan and following the circuit via televised matches, magazines, newspapers, television interviews and internet websites, I remember all the racial hatred Richard and his daughters faced in the early 2000s from select racist fans and a few tennis players, like Martina Hingis.

Some were really cruel to the Williams sisters for being black in a predominantly white sport, even when they were kids. They went through some stuff. You would have thought it was the Civil Rights era regarding the abuse some people directed at the Williams.

Richard was not weak and feeble (as portrayed by Will in the film). Richard was not taking any of the racial abuse lying down. He was not weak. He spoke out and held his head up high. Will got the character wrong.

"King Richard" was also missing many key parts. The trailer was not good either. This is a part of why the ticket sales were lackluster. Nonetheless, the other actors in the film were quite good and it was a very interesting story to watch, due to the Williams family's extraordinary life story.

Academy: Will Smith refused to leave Oscars after Rock slap

Wed, March 30, 2022, 6:18 PM - NEW YORK (AP) — The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences on Wednesday said that Will Smith was asked to leave Sunday's Oscar ceremony after hitting Chris Rock but refused to do so.

The academy’s board of governors met Wednesday to initiate disciplinary proceedings against Smith for violations against the group’s standards of conduct. The academy said disciplinary action for Smith could include suspension, expulsion or other sanctions.

Many have focused on why Smith was allowed to remain seated front row in the Dolby Theatre after the incident. On Wednesday, the academy suggested that it attempted to remove the actor from the audience.

“Things unfolded in a way we could not have anticipated,” the academy said. “While we would like to clarify that Mr. Smith was asked to leave the ceremony and refused, we also recognize we could have handled the situation differently.”...
