Will Smith has been banned from attending Oscars ceremonies for the next 10 years after slapping Chris Rock in the face on stage at the awards show, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said Friday.
The academy said the decision was based on “the unacceptable and harmful behavior we saw Mr. Smith exhibit on stage.” The group that oversees the Oscars issued its decision in a statement signed by its president, David Rubin, and Chief Executive Dawn Hudson after a meeting on Friday of its board of governors.
The organization also apologized for its handling of the matter during the show.
