Holmes<\/a> on ABC\u2019s morning program, Packer provided a fuller picture to explain why Will Smith wasn\u2019t kicked out of the ceremony. When Holmes asks if the police were on standby to remove the Best Actor winner, Packer confirmed, \u201cThat\u2019s an absolute fact. The LAPD made it clear \u2018We will do whatever you want us to do and one of the options is that we will go and arrest him right now.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">EXCLUSIVE: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Oscars?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Oscars<\/a> producer Will Packer tells <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GMA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@GMA<\/a> what h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ened behind the scenes after actor Will Smith slapped host Chris Rock live on stage. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tjholmes?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@tjholmes<\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/AeoYcGkM32\">https:\/\/t.co\/AeoYcGkM32<\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/xe9E2cFo8N\">pic.twitter.com\/xe9E2cFo8N<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Good Morning America (@GMA) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GMA\/status\/1509851411680567298?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 1, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ultimately, according to Packer, it was Rock who determined that Smith could stay after he was given the option to have the nominee removed ahead of his category. \u201cIt happened right before the best actor award,\u201d Packer revealed. And although Packer claims the Academy was ready to eject Smith, he shared, \u201cI im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely went to the Academy leadership that was on-site and I said: \u2018Chris Rock doesn\u2019t want that,\u2019 I said: \u2018Rock has made it clear that he does not want to make a bad situation worse.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At first, Packer was excited to see Rock take the stage as he watched his entrance from a monitor backstage. \u201cI said, \u2018watch this, he\u2019s gonna kill.\u2019 Cause I knew he had an amazing lineup of jokes that we had. We had them in the prompter and ultimately, he did not get to one joke.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yes, Rock\u2019s <em>G.I. Jane<\/em> comment about Smith\u2019s wife Jada wasn\u2019t part of the program as Packer stated that Rock \u201cdidn\u2019t tell one of the planned jokes, he was just immediately freestyling. But I tell you, if there\u2019s anybody you don\u2019t worry about going out in front of a live audience and riffing off the cuff is Chris Rock, nobody\u2019s better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That riffing didn\u2019t pay off when it sparked Smith\u2019s walk up to the stage, leading to a slap that\u2019s now become the subject of debate among viewers. Like the viewers at home, Packer wasn\u2019t exactly sure whether the moment was going to be a bit or not when he saw Smith approach the stage. \u201cI thought this was part of something that Chris and Will were doing on their own, I thought it was a bit\u2026 I figured okay\u2026 something funny is gonna happen because that\u2019s the nature of Chris and that\u2019s the nature of Will.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nothing funny happened though as Rock was slapped by Smith and Packer knew it wasn\u2019t scripted. \u201cOnce I saw Will yelling at the stage with such vitriol my heart dropped and I just remember thinking, oh no.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>See the full interview with Packer, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.goodmorningamerica.com\/culture\/story\/oscars-producer-packer-opens-happened-scenes-smith-slapped-83804535\">here<\/a>, and catch a portion of it in the Twitter video, above.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
