Will Smith has sent a resignation letter to the Academy, stripping him of his membership to the Oscars awards body.
Smith announced he would resign in a new statement, leaving many to wonder what this meant for the actor’s future at the Oscars.
“Change takes time and I am committed to doing the work to ensure that I never again allow violence to overtake reason.”
So, I am resigning from membership in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and will accept any further consequences the Board deems appropriate.
