Academy claims Will Smith refused to leave Oscars after Chris Rock slap

Following Will Smith and Chris Rock‘s altercation onstage at the 2022 Oscars, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences is now saying the King Richard actor was asked to leave after the incident occurred but refused.

The incident in question occurred in response to Rock making a joke about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, seemingly taking a dig at her buzzcut hairstyle. Pinkett Smith has alopecia, which causes hair loss, which she has openly discussed in the past.
