Will Smith and Chris Rock: Where Hollywood Stands After Oscars Slap

Revealed: The Secrets our Clients Used to Earn $3 Billion

The slap heard all over the world might not go unpunished.

After Will Smith slapped Chris Rock on the 2022 Oscars phase, the Academy has actually shared in a declaration acquired by E! stating that they will be examining the occurrence.

“The Academy condemns the actions of Mr. Smith at last night’s show,” the declaration checked out. “We have officially started a formal review around the incident and will explore further action and consequences in accordance with our Bylaws, Standards of Conduct and California law.”

Things at the Oscars at first got heated up after Chris, 57, made a G.I. Jane joke about Jada Pinkett Smith, who has alopecia. The remark triggered Will, 53, to get up on phase and slap Chris mid-monologue, then yelling two times from his seat, “Keep my wife’s name out of your f–king mouth.”

The Academy validated it wasn’t part of an act and later on shared a declaration on Twitter, composing, “The Academy does not condone violence of any form. Tonight we are delighted to celebrate our 94th Academy Awards winners, who deserve this moment of recognition from their peers and movie lovers around the world.”
