The recent delivery of the Oscars had viewers excited and somewhat disappointed. One of the moments that, unfortunately, became the talk of the networks was the slap he gave him Will Smith to Chris Rock, due to a malicious prank on Jada Pinkett-Smith. The event silenced a theater full of laughter, as the shouts of the popular “Prince of Rap” from his seat made it clear that it was not an orchestrated sequence.

Smith’s unexpected response not only caused surprise among the famous figures of the show, but also the reaction of the Academy, which has not hesitated to sentence the actor’s actions. Although they had already commented on the controversy, many wondered if the statuette would be withdrawn.
Now, a Variety report has shared a statement from the film organization, in which it is made clear that the protagonist of “Richard Method” could face severe consequences, since a “disciplinary procedure” has already been initiated under which they would analyze different sanctions to apply an exemplary punishment.

An important point of the new ‘statement’ is that the Academy mentions having asked Will Smith to retire, after the embarrassing altercation with Chris Rock; however, the Hollywood star refused to do so.
For now, it is not known what kind of measures will be taken around the fact, but this impasse has already unleashed the rejection of different personalities from film and TV, such as Jim Carrey (who will return to the big screen with “Sonic 2″ ).
