Nag-resign ang aktor na si Will Smith sa Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, na siyang nag-oorganisa ng Oscars, matapos niyang sampalin si Chris Rock sa ginanap na weekend ceremony.

"I am resigning from membership in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and will accept any further consequences the Board deems appropriate," pahayag ng aktor.

“My actions at the 94th Academy Awards presentation were shocking, painful, and inexcusable.

"The list of those I have hurt is long and includes Chris, his family, many of my dear friends and loved ones, all those in attendance, and global audiences at home.”

Matatandaang inakyat ni Smith si Rock sa entablado saka sinampal matapos nitong magbiro tungkol sa pagiging kalbo ng kanyang asawa.

Si Jada Pinkett Smith ay mayroong alopecia, isang kondisyon na nagdudulot ng pagkalagas ng buhok.

“I betrayed the trust of the Academy. I deprived other nominees and winners of their opportunity to celebrate and be celebrated for their extraordinary work. I am heartbroken.

"I want to put the focus back on those who deserve attention for their achievements and allow the Academy to get back to the incredible work it does to support creativity and artistry in film."
