Will Smith Banned from Attending Oscars Ceremony and Academy Events for 10 Years

The Board of Governors convened on Friday, accepting Smith's resignation and banning him from attending any Academy events for 10 years.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences convened a board meeting today to discuss further disciplinary actions against Will Smith, and concluded that the actor “shall not be permitted to attend any Academy events or programs, in person or virtually, including but not limited to the Academy Awards,” per a letter from Academy president David Rubin and CEO Dawn Hudson.

Smith replied soon after, and said, “I accept and respect the Academy’s decision.

See the full Academy statement below:

The 94th Oscars were meant to be a celebration of the many individuals in our community who did incredible work this past year; however, those moments were overshadowed by the unacceptable and harmful behavior we saw Mr. Smith exhibit on stage.

During our telecast, we did not adequately address the situation in the room. For this, we are sorry. This was an opportunity for us to set an example for our guests, viewers and our Academy family around the world, and we fell short — unprepared for the unprecedented.

Today, the Board of Governors convened a meeting to discuss how best to respond to Will Smith’s actions at the Oscars, in addition to accepting his resignation. The Board has decided, for a period of 10 years from April 8, 2022, Mr. Smith shall not be permitted to attend any Academy events or programs, in person or virtually, including but not limited to the Academy Awards.

We want to express our deep gratitude to Mr. Rock for maintaining his composure under extraordinary circumstances. We also want to thank our hosts, nominees, presenters and winners for their poise and grace during our telecast.

This action we are taking today in response to Will Smith’s behavior is a step toward a larger goal of protecting the safety of our performers and guests, and restoring trust in the Academy. We also hope this can begin a time of healing and restoration for all involved and impacted.

Thank you,

David Rubin and Dawn Hudson

What are the odds on Jada going to the Oscars without him for the next 10 years?

She's not lacking for partners to go with.

-

So 10 years for attendance but not for nomination or wins. Guess we could have Roman Polanski style moments.

 

[DeafTourette]

So... They're protecting everyone from Will.

Ok.

They could barely do that with John Wayne or what's his name that kissed Halle without her permission.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

I'm not a particular fan of Mr. Smith's actions, but your daily reminder of Hollywood's love of pedophiles and rapists.



Everyone in that video knew Polanski's love of underage pussy, and just like Weinstein they kept their fucking mouths shut.

They're all complicit.

 

[donfonzie]

I hope Jada at least gave Will a blowjob after all of this.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

It's incredible, that for a moment Will Smith's life changed for not controlling his impulses.

And it's a shame, that this action is regretted for the rest of his life.

All for not having self-control.

His wife changed his life and in a very bad way.

Lower your expectations she probably just let him play clean up after she was done screwing whoever

She’ll probably just bring someone else.

 

[Punished Miku]

The Oscar ratings are going to skyrocket in 2032.

 

[SentientStone]

Bit harsh to be out thrown out of the Oscar house for 10 years.

 

[ipukespiders]

I hope Jada at least gave Will a blowjob after all of this.

Probably sloppy seconds.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

The sad part is I've been in Smith's situation. I discovered my boyfriend had been fucking around on the side.

You have no idea how fast I went from, "Hey babe," to, "Get your fucking shit out of my house," the moment I found out.

You can break up with me like a fucking adult if you don't want to be with me anymore, cheating is unacceptable.

 

[CGiRanger]

Doesn't sound like he's doing well...

 

[Quasicat]

This is a slap on the wrist for Smith. He still gets to act, he just can’t receive any awards.
If he were an off duty police officer, fire fighter, or teacher and he slapped someone, he would lose his certification/license and would be unemployable in that field for the rest of his life. Never mind, he did this in front of 16 million people and nothing was done but a 10 year ban from receiving a golden trophy.

 

[Punished Miku]

If you slapped an employee on an airplane you can get banned for life. I think he's going to survive guys.

Bro needs to leave that environment

He could attend virtually and use emojis

let that be a lesson for us all, don't be a cuck.

This action gives teachings of fact.

Violence does not generate anything and only worsens the situation.

They already thought of that.

Who wants to bet Jada will be there next year with some bullshit reason claiming that the mighty cuck wanted her to go.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

I'm at the point where the burden of proof is for the Pedowood star is to prove they're not a sexual devieant.

I'ts like "Bro, I know you want to fuck every 8 year old on the set, but you need to keep your shit in check.

Guess how some of Y'all want to teat kids.

 

[xellos2099alpha]

Harsh, specially since Crhis 100% deserve that slap

 

[Fbh]

"Tupac would have gotten a 20 years ban"

 

[mortal]

Doesn't sound like he's doing well...

No way in hell is that a healthy functioning relationship.

 

[ResilientBanana]

Doesn't sound like he's doing well...

Will's being put through the ringer. That slap is a result of a lot of stress, anxiety and fear. He's trying to please her in so many ways and not have her look down on him and fuck other dudes. Meanwhile Jada's getting everything she wants while taking Will for a ride. He needs to get out.

I'm sorry that happened. I know how that feels.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Holy shit. Her entire attitude reeks of cunt. I don't support violence in general, much less to women unprovoked, but she's getting my Stone Cold Stunner trigger loose.

 

[John Bilbo]

Doesn't sound like he's doing well...

That is simply awful. This might end even worse than the oscars.

People don't cheat because they want the relationship to end.

Agreed who knows why he doesn't. I realize some people stay in bad situations because of their children or because they're not financially able to but what's his excuse?

 

[FunkMiller]

Doesn't sound like he's doing well...

Fucking hell. Genuinely think he’s suffering from some sort of domestic abuse (Which obviously doesn’t have to be physical).

 

[Spukc]

Ten years is a bit steep.

Smacking someone in the face is a bit steep

 

[clem84]

Doesn't sound like he's doing well...

She actually published that video... Good god.

 

[EviLore]

She actually published that video... Good god.

It's all part of Jada's "process of healing."




"Realllllly deep healing."

 

[Saber]

Harsh if you ask me. And I totally agree with the sentiment most have, but life teachs me that sometimes theres more behind than people let know.

Who knows who threw gasoline on Will Smith head to make him act like that(theres a say in my country: "don't poke a jaguar with a short stick"), which I find funny since the one who he did "stand up for" might be probably the cause and is free of any repercursion she may have caused.

Hes an adult, probably should act like one. But I don't have his entire life story book to know what make short fuse of it. And in the modern days, social crowd don't take that lightly.

What if he gets off on being humiliated? It's the only explanation I can think of.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Banned Will Smith but not Vladimir Putin?

Hollywood hypocrisy knows no bounds.

Jfc I hate her, what an awful woman. I'm not a big fan of Will anymore, but damn he could do so much better.

 

[Putonahappyface]

What he did was an over reaction and wrong I won't dispute that, but let's not blow this out of proportion he slapped someone once and verbally abused them not beat them into a coma and curb stomp them lol.

Ten years is excessive in my opinion, something like a three year ban from all award ceremonys, a sincere apology to Chris Rock face to face and a million dollars donation to a charity of Chris Rocks choice.

What do you wanna bet, that if he told her he wanted a divorce she'd claim abuse? Amber Heard proved people will believe women NO MATTER WHAT.

[newtypepilot]

I hope Jada at least gave Will a blowjob after all of this.

nah, now he's behind the camera recording Jada giving head to some dude instead of being the fluffer
