The newest chapter of the Will Smith/Chris Rock drama at the Oscars has unfolded.
Some said Smith could stay and others wanted him gone, according to the report.
Smith, who has publicly apologized to Rock and the Academy, is facing potential disciplinary action.
The Academy’s board met this week to begin discussions about punishing Smith for violating its conduct standards.
Smith could be suspended or expelled from the Academy, or face other sanctions, the group said.
“Things unfolded in a way we could not have anticipated,” the Academy said.
Smith also apologized to Rock, acknowledging, “I was out of line and I was wrong.”
It’s unknown if Smith and Rock have spoken in person after the event, however.
Smith apologized to the Academy, too.
He was greeted by standing ovations that lasted about two minutes, according toThe Hollywood Reporter.
However, he said one day he’ll have more to say.
“At some point I’ll talk about that sh**.
And it’ll be serious, and it’ll be funny.”
