The story of what happened in the room at Sunday night’s Oscars has shifted once again.
Citing “sources close to the situation,” the report claims that “in the chaos that surrounded the altercation, the Academy and the show’s producer sent mixed message about whether Smith should be expelled from the event.”
Wednesday’s statement added, “Mr. Smith was asked to leave the ceremony and refused, we also recognize we could have handled the situation differently.” But, unnamed sources who were at the Dolby reportedly said that show producer Will Packer was the “key” to Smith remaining in his front-row seat. “In the roughly 30 minutes following Smith’s attack on Rock, before the award for best actor was presented, Packer walked out into the orchestra and conferred with Smith, according to two witnesses,”reported about the producer who is friends with Rock and who was also a producer on the 2017 filmG.I.
