Will Smith Returns His Oscar to the Academy
A teary-eyed Will Smith on Friday returned his Best Actor Oscar for his performance in King Richard to the Academy. Since the 20222 Oscars telecast on March 27, the reviled actor has been the subject of investigation by the Academy and the Los Angeles District Attorney's office for walking up on stage and slapping presenter Chris Rock in the face. Upon returning to his seat after slapping the beloved comedian Smith screamed at the top of his lungs "Keep my wife's name out yo fukcin' mouth." The slap and vile language directed at Rock was due to Rock's joke about Smith's wife, who alleges untruthfully that she sufferers from alopecia. (She does not, but more about that later).
