Rock drew Smith\u2019s ire after making a bald joke at the expense of the <em>Independence Day<\/em> star\u2019s wife,\u00a0<strong>Jada Pinkett Smith<\/strong>, who suffers from hair loss related to alopecia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: Former Co-Star Describes How Will Smith \u2018Bullied And Humiliated\u2019 Him On \u2018Ali\u2019 Set<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Friday afternoon, the\u00a0<em>Men In Black<\/em> alum took the most significant step so far in the aftermath of the on-screen slap, officially resigning from The Academy in the midst of the organization\u2019s investigation into his conduct at the high-profile awards show.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement released on Friday afternoon and obtained by multiple media outlets, including\u00a0<em>Variety<\/em> and\u00a0<em>The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>, Smith revealed he is stepping away from his membership in the prestigious organization. Calling his own violent actions towards the\u00a0<em>Everybody Hates Chris<\/em> actor to be \u201cshocking, painful and inexcusable,\u201d Smith shared this statement with the public (below):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI have directly responded to the Academy\u2019s disciplinary hearing notice, and I will fully accept any and all consequences for my conduct. My actions at the 94th Academy Awards presentation were shocking, painful, and inexcusable. 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The\u00a0<em>Fresh Prince of Bel-Air<\/em> alum went on from there, getting to the key point of the new public message with a confirmation that he would in fact be resigning from the organization and will ALSO \u201caccept any further consequences\u201d that may be levied against him.<\/p>\n<p>He continued:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI betrayed the trust of the Academy. I deprived other nominees and winners of their opportunity to celebrate and be celebrated for their extraordinary work. I am heartbroken. I want to put the focus back on those who deserve attention for their achievements and allow the Academy to get back to the incredible work it does to support creativity and artistry in film. 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. Change takes time and I am committed to doing the work to ensure that I never again allow violence to overtake reason.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"highlight\">Wow.<\/p>\n<p>The Academy responded with a statement of their own, saying:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe have received and accepted Mr. Will Smith\u2019s immediate resignation from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. We will continue to move forward with our disciplinary proceedings against Mr. Smith for violations of the Academy\u2019s Standards of Conduct, in advance of our next scheduled board meeting on April 18.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Sounds like this doesn\u2019t put things to rest after all. Huh.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, this follows just days after Smith\u2019s first public statement about the incident, which was published Monday via his official\u00a0<strong>Instagram<\/strong> account. In that message to the world, the\u00a0<em>King Richard<\/em> star wrote that he was \u201ca work in progress,\u201d and added in part (below):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness. I would also like to apologize to the Academy, the producers of the show, all the attendees and everyone watching around the world. I would like to apologize to the Williams family and my <em>King Richard<\/em>\u00a0family. I deeply regret that my behavior has stained what has been an otherwise gorgeous journey for all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And now comes the official resignation.
