Chris Rock may have refused to file a police report with the Los Angeles Police Department after Will Smith slapped him on live television, but The Academy of of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences could take matters into its own hands. According to the New York Post, the Academy has a strict policy that prohibits any kind of violence, and Smith’s actions could lead to his first Oscar being stripped from him.
“It’s basically assault,” an insider said. “Everyone was just so shocked in the room, it was so uncomfortable. I think Will would not want to give his Oscar back, but who knows what will happen now.”
Shortly after Smith accosted the famed comedian onstage, he won an Oscar in the Best Actor in a Leading Role category for his portrayal of Richard Williams in King Richard. But with all eyes on him, he couldn’t help but address what just took place on stage.
“I want to apologize to the Academy, I wanna apologize to all my fellow nominees,” he said in part. “This is a beautiful moment and I’m not crying for winning an award. It’s not about winning an award for me. It’s about being able to shine a light on all of the people … art imitates life. I look like the crazy father. Love will make you do crazy things.”

He also compared himself to Williams, saying they were both “fierce defenders” of their families. He added, “And I know to do what we do, you gotta be able to take abuse, you gotta be able to have people talk crazy about you. In this business, you gotta have people disrespecting you and you gotta smile and you gotta pretend that it’s OK.”
Despite the optics, Diddy said the two Hollywood powerhouses quickly made up. Speaking to Page Six at the Variety Fair party, he said, “That’s not a problem. That’s over. I can confirm that. It’s all love. They’re brothers.”
How come Jada didn’t slap Regina Hall?
Because Jada actually thinks its hilarious that she hooked up with Jadens buddy.
Fuck Will Pinkett-Smith ese!
Unacceptable behavior from Will Smith. Just because he’s famous doesn’t give him the right to slap anyone!
He should have been escorted out of the venue but got a free pass
I totally agree he should’ve been stripped of their ward and escorted right out the building he acted like a Gangbangin person and I think his career should come to a sudden halt in a public apology to Chris rock should be made shame on will no longer a fan
He should have that Oscar stripped. Anything else is simply saying it’s okay physically assault another person. Will screwed up and needs to be held accountable. If he wasn’t a star he’d be in jail for what happened.
EXACTLY! He got up from his seat and purposely assaulted someone over WORDS!! Take the Oscar it’s their policy and this should NOT be overlooked. The comment wasn’t about him anyway. Jada stayed seated.
Another example of black on black crime! SMH! This too will be blamed on police brutality!
That slap was weak. I was slapping Jada boney ass checks harder than that…my hand still red..
Not gonna happen.. he is black so it would be racist to take his Oscar back. If he was white he would have not even got one!
You’re just another paranoid pathetic bigoted idiot who believes in the non existent great replacement bulls!t, meanwhile you’re probably beating yourself silly to interracial porn parodies of yourself and your father and brother hiding in the closet watching a black delivery man or some other nonsensical sh!t balls deep in your mother’s back passage! Get a life and get of the internet, especially hip hop and other sites that reflect black culture etc etc and put the box of tissues down and try to find yourself a partner who can maybe pull you out from under the sh!tty Little rock you live under
No one’s obsessed with your trash ass “culture”. We come here to clown you anonymously, it’s not that hard to figure out.
