Smith said, “I have directly responded to the Academy’s disciplinary hearing notice, and I will fully accept any and all consequences for my conduct. 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.” He continued: “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. So, I am resigning from membership in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and will accept any further consequences the Board deems appropriate.Change takes time and I am committed to doing the work to ensure that I never again allow violence to overtake reason.” Related Related posts: Zambia’s President sworn in after pulling off rare victory for an African opposition leader Bodies found in Brazil mangrove following police gun battle Hong Kong gears up for ‘patriots-only’ poll amid boycott calls tags: RSS Feed World News 0000 0 0 previous Covid vaccines now available for five to 11-year olds in England next Brittney Griner’s teammates break silence amid Russia detention
