Will Smith resigned from the motion picture academy on Friday, a day after he hit Chris Rock at the Oscars. Smith said in a statement that he will fully accept any and all consequences for his conduct. My actions at the 94th Academy Awards presentation were shocking. David Rubin said that Smith's resignation was accepted. Smith no longer has voting privileges after he resigned. Being a member of the academy gives industry credibility to its members. It is only an invitation and a membership review. I betrayed the trust of the academy. His statement said he deprived other nominees and winners of their chance to celebrate and be celebrated for their extraordinary work. I want to put the focus back on those who deserve attention for their achievements and allow the Academy to get back to the work it does to support creativity and artistry in film. Smith said that he was committed to doing the work to ensure that he never allowed violence to overtake reason. The academy's leadership board met two days before the resignation to initiate proceedings against Smith for violating the standards of conduct. He could have been suspended or expelled, but it was not clear what punishment he would face. Smith would have joined a small group of men removed from the academy, including Harvey Weinstein, Roman Polanski, Bill Cosby and Carmine Caridi, who were kicked out for sharing awards screeners. On Sunday, Smith strode from his front-row seat to the stage and hit Rock, who had made a joke at the expense of Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. He won the best actor award for his role in King Richard. Rock declined to file charges when asked by police. He only briefly addressed the attack publicly, saying at one comedy concert in Boston this week that he was still processing what happened. Smith stunned Rock, the theater crowd and viewers at home when he took the stage after Rock joked: "Jada, I love you." Pinkett Smith, who has spoken publicly about her hair loss condition, has a shaved head like that of the original movie star. After Smith attacked, he returned to his seat and yelled at Rock to get his wife's name out of his mouth. The repercussions were immediate and intense. Smith had supporters for coming to his wife's defense, but he was widely condemned for responding with violence and overshadowing the night's other winners.
