Will Smith is now the first rapper-turned-actor to ever win an Academy Award for best actor. Unfortunately in his moment of triumph he behaved as if he was at The Source Awards.

And this is one of the main reasons why I personally don't get too enamored with celebrities of any type because at the end of the day despite all that fame, status & money they are human & flawed the same as the rest of us mere mortals. We don't actually know them like that beyond the manufactured personas that they choose to put out for the general public. And per usual when some shit hit the fan everybody either riding hard for them no matter what or clowning & shitting on them hard.

Smith Resigns From The Academy
Will Smith, who slapped the comedian Chris Rock at the Oscars, said Friday that he was resigning from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, saying that he had “betrayed” its trust with conduct that was “shocking, painful, and inexcusable.”
The sudden announcement came late Friday afternoon, days after the Academy had condemned Mr. Smith’s actions and opened an inquiry into the incident.
“I have directly responded to the Academy’s disciplinary hearing notice, and I will fully accept any and all consequences for my conduct,” he said in a statement on Friday.
“I deprived other nominees and winners of their opportunity to celebrate and be celebrated for their extraordinary work,” he said in the statement. “I am heartbroken.”
He said that he would “accept any further consequences the board deems appropriate.”
“Change takes time,” he concluded, “and I am committed to doing the work to ensure that I never again allow violence to overtake reason.”
The academy said that it accepted his resignation.
“We have received and accepted Mr. Will Smith’s immediate resignation from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences,” David Rubin, its president, said in a statement. “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.”
Now that he has resigned, Mr. Smith will no longer have access to academy screenings and events. He will also not be able to vote in the Academy Awards. However, he could still be nominated for an award, since being a member is not a requirement for eligibility.

To be fair i think he can't complain about someone having a good time with Jada when he was acting like a single guy around his female co-stars during years in public
Charlize
Eva Mendes
And the famous pictures with Margot.
To be fair with Will he isn't the only guy who do something like this. Oscar Isaac is another married guy in Hollywood who act like his wife isn't a thing around other women.
Ewan MacGregor did the same during years with his male and female co-stars but people ignored the behavior until his public divorce.
This isn't a male exclusive behavior in Hollywood, women can do something similar, i remember this
Nicole Kidman kissing her co-star after he got an Emmy right next to her husband Keith while he was clapping to the situation.
Marriage is really weird in Hollywood lol
