Will Smith is resigning from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences. His decision comes after the Academy began looking into possible disciplinary action against the actor following Sunday's Oscars.
Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock after Rock made a joke about Smith's wife. Smith said he will accept any additional punishment from the Academy's Board of Governors.
He added, "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."
