Wait, Will Smith wasn’t asked to leave Oscars? Witnesses speak out about the truth

Published

Actor Will Smith was asked to leave immediately after he slapped Chris rock, but refused as an investigation is officially launched. But this wasn’t the truth

Will Smith was asked to leave the ceremony after smacking Oscar host Chris Rock across the face after he made a joke about his wife’s medical condition.

Let’s visit that statement released only a day ago:

“While we would like to clarify that Mr. Smith was asked to leave the ceremony (after slapping Chris Rock) and refused, we also recognize we could have handled the situation differently”

The academy said in a statement

The Academy also says: “things unfolded in a way we could not anticipate”

But now, sources close to the situation are saying he wasn’t actually asked to leave the show

There are reports the CEO spoke to Smith on zoom a day after the Oscars, in a 30 minute call.

Smith’s publicists say he was never asked to formally leave either.

Police were on site and ready to arrest actor Will Smith at the Academy Awards for slapping presenter Chris Rock, the producer of the Hollywood ceremony came out and said too.

But the authorities did take not any action because Rock declined to press charges, show producer Will Packer said.

Packer said that he and the production “officially” wanted Smith to stay for the remainder of the show, according to one of the witnesses, cited in Variety.

Another source close to Packer denied that the producer urged Smith to remain..

This comes as new footage comes to light, this time from Smith’s wife, who appears to be laughing at her husband post slapping Rock.

Many people right around thee world are still asking if this entire incident was staged, was it a joke – even though the academy slammed the incident from their statement.

On Wednesday, the Academy said that Smith faces “suspension, expulsion or other sanctions” for his actions. 

“Mr. Rock, we apologize to you for what you experienced on our stage and thank you for your resilience in that moment,” the group said in a statement. “We also apologize to our nominees, guests and viewers for what transpired during what should have been a celebratory event.”

The investigation is ongoing, but we can expect to hear more on April 18 in terms of outcomes and consequences. Until then? Expect more statements, interviews, footage and eye witness accounts.

In Short:
– Trump gives Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed Gaza peace plan, warning of consequences.
– Hamas calls the plan biased and insists on a complete Israeli withdrawal before considering any agreement.
U.S. President Donald Trump has given Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed peace plan for Gaza, warning of severe consequences if they reject it.The plan, shared by mediators Qatar and Egypt, emerged after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu endorsed it during a visit to the White House. Hamas, which was not part of the talks, is expected to review the proposal that calls for disarmament, a previously rejected demand.

Trump stated that support for the plan came from both Israeli and Arab leaders, and he emphasised the need for Hamas to respond promptly. The proposal includes a ceasefire, hostage exchanges, an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, and disarmament of Hamas, along with a transitional government.

A Hamas source described the plan as biased towards Israel and containing unacceptable conditions.

The group maintains that a complete Israeli withdrawal is a prerequisite for their agreement to any deal, while they are unwilling to disarm.

Pressure Mounts

Hamas faces significant pressure as foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Qatar, and Egypt have supported the initiative. Turkey’s intelligence head is also set to join discussions in Doha, marking a new level of mediation.

Despite expressing initial support, Netanyahu is cautious about the plan’s implications for Palestinian statehood and faces pressure from his coalition. Public sentiment in Gaza reflects a desire for peace, albeit with scepticism about the sincerity of both Trump and Netanyahu’s commitments.
