Will Smith resigns from Academy awards

The actor has resigned from the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences membership due to the controversy that erupted after Hollywood actor Will Smith slapped the show's host Chris Rock at the 94th Oscars. However, Will Smith has apologized once again.

Will Smith's apology is covered on social media . He said "I have responded directly to the Academy's disciplinary hearing notice, and I will fully accept any and all consequences for my conduct. What I did during the 94th Academy Awards presentation was shocking, distressing." And I can't forgive. The list of people I've hurt is long and includes Chris, his family, my many dear friends and loved ones, everyone in attendance, as well as onlookers around the world.

The Academy has accepted the resignation of Will Smith. Academy President David Rubin said he had accepted Smith's resignation, but that disciplinary proceedings would continue, which could lead to more sanctions.

I would like to address the rest of the nominees and winners a chance to celebrate and celebrate for their extraordinary work. My heart is broken. I want to focus on people who deserve attention for their achievements and allow the Academy to do incredible things to support creativity and artistry in film. He further added.
