Will Smith met with top brass at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences on Tuesday to have a discussion about his now-viral slap of Chris Rock on the Oscars stage on Sunday.
A source told Variety Smith's meeting with Rubin and Hudson lasted around a half-hour, while another claimed it featured a "brief" conversation. In it, Smith apologized to the Academy president and CEO for displaying violence on the Oscars stage. He also allegedly said he understands consequences will follow.
The Academy's Board of Governors held an emergency meeting on Wednesday to discuss what went down at the 94th Academy Awards. Those in attendance said Rubin and Hudson did not mention they met with Smith over Zoom the day before.
