Will Smith REFUSED TO LEAVE Oscars when Academy asked him after Chris Ro...

Will Smith was asked to leave the Oscars after hitting Chris Rock but refused, the Academy just said, declaring that he had violated their code of conduct.The 53-year-old actor marched onto the stage on Sunday and hit Rock, after Rock told a joke about Smith’s wife. Shortly after, Smith was announced as the winner of the best actor award and went up to collect his statuette to a standing ovation from many of his peers.

On Wednesday the Academy said it had launched ‘disciplinary procedures’ against Smith, and confirmed he ignored their request for him to leave his seat. Rock, who is yet to respond to Smith’s attack or his apology, will be on stage in Boston on Wednesday night for his first show since the incident. The Academy said in a statement, ‘The Board of Governors today initiated disciplinary proceedings against Mr. Smith for violations of the Academy’s Standards of Conduct, including inappropriate physical contact, abusive or threatening behavior, and compromising the integrity of the Academy. 

Mr. Smith was asked to leave the ceremony and refused, [but] we also recognize we could have handled the situation differently.’ Smith will receive 15 days notice of a vote as well as an opportunity to be heard by written response. At the next board meeting – scheduled for April 18 – the Academy may take action that could include ‘suspension, expulsion, or other sanctions permitted by the Bylaws and Standards of Conduct.’ In his acceptance speech, Smith apologized to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences – whose members vote for the awards, and who stages the ceremony – but stopped short of apologizing to Rock. 

Smith initially laughed off the attack, writing on Instagram on Sunday evening: ‘You can’t invite people from Philly or Baltimore nowhere!!’ Yet as the gravity of the situation became clear, Smith then posted a public apology to Instagram 24 hours after the ceremony, saying he wanted to say sorry formally to Rock. Condemnation of Smith has grown in the intervening days. That’s pretty shocking, especially since the speculation up to this point was that the Academy and the show producers allowed Will to stay until his Best Actor category was announced — something for which they’ve been heavily criticized. 

One final note from them on what Will did — “Mr. Smith’s actions at the 94th Oscars were a deeply shocking, traumatic event to witness in-person and on television. Chris Rock, we apologize to you for what you experienced on our stage and thank you for your resilience in that moment. We also apologize to our nominees, guests and viewers for what transpired during what should have been a celebratory event.” Of course, the question now is … when exactly did they approach him about beating it, and to what extent did they insist?

The group, Mission NGO, is Italian-based, and fronted by former Miss Italy Valeria Altobelli. She expressed "compassion" for Johnny in the wake of his trial with ex-wife Amber Heard. Altobelli said, "In deep respect of the victims of domestic s that we have to affirm for intellectual honesty are, generally, WOMEN, we feel to express, as women, as mothers, as free thinkers, our compassion for Johnny Depp in this bad page of his personal history."

NEW FOOTAGE! Amber Heard CAUGHT in WORST LIE YET | Johnny Depp Trial

Image
Amber in a never-before-seen deposition from 2016, was caught in an obvious lie to cover her own tracks, or should, I say, skids? Please don’t forget to subscribe.   Here she is pretending that her Teacup Yorkies are larger than they actually are because she knew at this point the size of the grumpy left on the bed could never come from such a tiny toy dog.   She described her dog as “Yorkies” to make them seem like the 7 pound larger breed, but they were teacup Yorkies, which are notably smaller weighing in at 2 to 4 pounds.   Notice how the size of her dogs kept getting bigger as she described them, cause she knew she was caught in a lie. She eventually landed on the idea that her dogs were the size of bricks, similar to a 90s television. She essentially described a pouf ottoman, which prompted numerous memes.   After the incident, she went on a trip to a Coachella where she’s seen having a blast after apparently just been brutalized by Johnny. Johnny’s personal se...
