Multiple sites are now disputing the Academy’s claim that Will Smith was asked to leave the Oscars and refused.
after Rock told a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s bald head, wondered how Smith was allowed to stay and watch the rest of the show — then was permitted to get on stage a little while later to collect an Academy Award for Best Actor to a huge standing ovation.
As part of these disciplinary proceedings, the Board of Governors of the Academy will vote at their next meeting on whether Smith should be punished for his behavior at the Oscars. Potential outcomes of the vote “may include suspension, expulsion, or other sanctions permitted by the Bylaws and Standards of Conduct.”On its face, it’s a little hard to believe that the Academy asked Will Smith to leave the show and we’re just hearing about it now.
