At Will!

Will ain't sorry.

Will Smith resigns from the Academy Awards board of governors. But it is not over, because the sanctions imposed will be severe given that the "slap heard across the world" will be forever seared in the minds of millions. An incident that will be a part of American history and a possible career damage to the media mogul.

The Academy followed up with two subsequent statements that more forcefully criticized Smith. On Wednesday, the group said Smith had violated the Academy’s standards of conduct and that he had 15 days to provide a written response explaining his actions. The organization said Smith faced suspension, expulsion or other sanctions.

Smith, facing possible expulsion or suspension after he assaulted Chris Rock during last Sunday’s Oscars telecast, has instead resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences. The move comes as the actor is embroiled in the gravest crisis of his career and as the organization behind the Academy Awards has struggled in its attempts to deal with the fallout from the altercation. In a statement, Smith called his actions “shocking, painful and inexcusable” and said that he will accept any additional consequences that the Academy’s Board of Governors deems appropriate.

“The list of those I have hurt is long and includes Chris, his family, many of my dear friends and loved ones, all those in attendance, and global audiences at home,” Smith said. “I betrayed the trust of the Academy. I deprived other nominees and winners of their opportunity to celebrate and be celebrated for their extraordinary work. I am heartbroken.”

Smith also acknowledged that his actions overshadowed other winners at the 94th Academy Awards.

Chris Rock continues to dodge questions about the slap.

“I want to put the focus back on those who deserve attention for their achievements and allow the Academy to get back to the incredible work it does to support creativity and artistry in film,” he stated, concluding with “change takes time and I am committed to doing the work to ensure that I never again allow violence to overtake reason.”

Academy president David Rubin replied to his resignation, saying in a statement, “We have received and accepted Mr. Will Smith’s immediate resignation from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. We will continue to move forward with our disciplinary proceedings against Mr. Smith for violations of the Academy’s Standards of Conduct, in advance of our next scheduled board meeting on April 18.”

After a standing ovation, Rock exclaimed, “Yo, let me do the show! How was your weekend?” he began. “I don’t have a bunch of shit about what happened, so if you came to hear that, I have a whole show I wrote before this weekend." https://t.co/Keka0MVhSd

Chris's brothers Chad and Tony Rock ain't down for that apology. They said that Smith's actions are unforgivable and personal.

Tony said that the whole ordeal puts all comedians at risk of potential harm. The risk of telling jokes that could upset people is forcing comedy clubs to beef up security and eliminate phone from being used while seeing comedians perform.

The whole ordeal may keep Will from Academy Awards, The Grammys and every other event that he has participated in during his time as a rapper, comedian, actor, film director, film producer and father figure.

It was a very smart idea for the Grammys to keep Kanye West from attending. He would have done something similar or he would have crashed an awards presentation like the infamous Taylor Swift MTV VMA Awards incident. Ye threatened Trevor Noah on social media and is considered threatening towards Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson.
