Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>American actor and film producer Will Smith has been banned from attending the Oscars for the next 10 years after he slapped comedian Chris Rock on stage during the awards night a fortnight ago.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said Friday, Smith is also not permitted to attend any other events held by the Oscars over the next decade.<\/p>\n

said president David Rubin and CEO Dawn Hudson in a letter.<\/p>\n

But the board did not decide to revoke Smith’s best actor Oscar he won last month for “King Richard.”<\/p>\n

The decision was made during a Board of Governors meeting held earlier on Friday in Los Angeles. The meeting, initially scheduled for April 18, was expedited after Smith announced his resignation from the Academy last week.<\/p>\n

The Hollywood’s top film group also apologized, stating that they \u201cdid not adequately address the situation in the room,\u201d and thanked Rock for maintaining his composure onstage.<\/p>\n

Smith\u2019s fate was sealed by a board consisting of 54 members: three from each of the academy\u2019s 17 branches, that range from acting and editing to marketing and public relations. There were three governors at large.<\/p>\n

Comedian Chris Rock at the 94th Academy Awards and before he presented the best documentary Oscar, made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith appearing ready to star in \u201cG.I. Jane 2,\u201d which was a veiled reference to her shaved head.<\/p>\n

Pinkett Smith looked rolled her eyes at joke and, within moments, her husband made his way to the stage to slap Chris Rock. He returned to his seat and doubled down on his assault by yelling at Rock with expletives to warn the comedian from jokes against his Pinkett Smith.<\/b><\/p>\n

Smith has described his actions as \u201cshocking, painful, and inexcusable,\u201d adding that he \u201cbetrayed the trust of the Academy\u201d and \u201cdeprived other[s] \u2026 of their opportunity to celebrate and be celebrated for their extraordinary work.\u201d<\/p>\n

His wife Pinkett Smith has spoken publicly in recent years about struggling with hair loss from alopecia, an autoimmune disease.<\/p>\n
