Minnie Driver says Chris Rock ‘was abandoned by producers and The Academy’ after Will Smith slapped him
Fox News
Minnie Driver has called out the Academy on Twitter, saying producers "abandoned" Chris Rock after the presenter was slapped by Will Smith at the Oscars on Sunday night.
The 52-year-old’s call-out came a day after the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences revealed that Smith was asked to leave Sunday’s ceremony after hitting the presenter, but refused to do so.
The academy’s board of governors met Wednesday to initiate disciplinary proceedings against the 53-year-old for violations of the group’s standards of conduct. The academy said disciplinary action for Smith could include suspension, expulsion or other sanctions.
