The actor was banned from attending an academy event or program for the next 10 years.
“The 94th Oscars were meant to be a celebration of the many individuals in our community who did incredible work this past year; however, those moments were overshadowed by the unacceptable and harmful behavior we saw Mr. Smith exhibit on stage,” academy president David Rubin and CEO Dawn Hudson said in a letter obtained by NBC News.
Rubin and Hudson expressed that they “did not adequately address the situation” after it happened, as they were “unprepared for the unprecedented.” They also extended a message of “deep gratitude” to Rock “for maintaining his composure under extraordinary circumstances. We also want to thank our hosts, nominees, presenters and winners for their poise and grace during our telecast.”
They concluded by noting that they hope this step can “begin a time of healing and restoration for all involved and impacted.” Rock’s representative did not immediately respond to a request by NBC News for comment regarding the academy’s latest decision.
