The actor made the announcement after the academy began a review of the shocking TV moment about which Smith said his actions were “shocking, painful, and inexcusable." Smith faced suspension, expulsion, or other punitive measures with the board of governors scheduled to meet April 18 and said he had received a disciplinary hearing notice.
Smith slapped Rock onstage after the comedian, who was hosting the show, made a joke mocking the bald appearance of his wife, actress Jada Pinkett Smith, who has alopecia. "I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness," Smith said.
"The Academy condemns the actions of Mr. Smith," the academy said."We have officially started a formal review around the incident and will explore further action and consequences in accordance with our Bylaws, Standards of Conduct and California law."
