The Academy Lied About Asking Will Smith to Leave The Oscars

[Chlorine 47,976]

We're told there was a split among the officials ... some did want him booted, but others did not. There were various discussions during several commercial breaks, but they never reached a consensus...

Will Packer [Grammys Producer] walked up to Will Smith just after 8 PM, around 35 minutes after the slap. That's when he told Will he could stay, according to our sources. Will won the Best Actor Award around 5 minutes later...

...the Academy's first statement about the incident never even mentioned Will Smith by name. As the day went on and outrage grew, the Academy became more aggressive and went in hard on Smith, saying he took an aggressive stance and refused to leave.

So what do you think girlies? Is it time for the Academy to investigate itself? 

Also, notice how the story changed. At first they said Will was asked and refused, but the latest is that since Chris Rock didn't want him removed, they honored what Chris wanted. Which is it?

It's time everyone moves on from this and focus on the more important things going on in the world.

I honestly never believed the stuff about them asking him to leave, so I'm not surprised by this. 

Also this whole thing is a tired mess

They checked who won, they saw it was him so they didn’t ask him to leave ig

He slapped someone, not beaten up someone. Can we just move on and let Will, Chris and the Academy handle this on their own? The attention this still gets is honestly tiring af .

Also, there's more important things rn to focus on.

I agree, but I’m counteracting the anti Will stuff getting posted. And no, the Smith family is not paying me to do this.

I understand why you're doing it, I've seen your posts and I agree with everything you've been saying. My post wasn't directed at you, just at everyone in general.

This all now feels like a bunch of celebs want something to feel fake outraged or traumatized about so they don’t have to focus on the real issues, like how they could’ve spoken out about Ukraine yet made the whole night about this and have continued too

Yeah it was obvious

This is a case for the FBI

[Luv u Sum 2,330]

it’s so over talked about  literally a grown man slapped another grown man over a joke it’s not that serious

Saying they asked him to leave and he refused sounds worse to me than not asking at all tbh

I'm just imagining them saying "You need to leave"

"No"

"Well we tried everything"

I wish their outrage grew for all the sex offenders, rapist and pedophiles they have awarded and continue to praise.

Y la perra sigue y sigue. I think we should move on from the Will Smith drama and focus on more important things. 

Like, there’s still a chance to record a music video for Sour Candy.

As shocking as this whole thing was, I can’t believe we’re still talking about it.
