The Academy still has some “splainin'” to do. Frankly they appear to be in CYA mode and of course they’ve sent the Black producer out to face the media and the public in trying to cover all their azzez.

Chris Rock declining to have Will arrested is one thing. But why was it Chris Rock’s call – OR the producer’s call – as to whether Will Smith should’ve been allowed to stay?!

Does the Academy NOT have a policy in place that clearly states how matters of a “security threat” should be immediately handled?

Of course they do!

Will Packer, the lead producer of the Oscars telecast that was thrown into upheaval after the actor Will Smith went onstage and slapped the comedian Chris Rock, said Friday that after Mr. Smith had been asked to leave the ceremony, he urged the Academy leadership not to “physically remove” him from the theater in the middle of the live broadcast.  

Mr. Packer said he had learned from his co-producer, Shayla Cowan, that there were discussions of plans to “physically remove” Mr. Smith from the venue. So he said he immediately approached academy officials and told them that he believed Mr. Rock did not want to “make a bad situation worse.”  – Matt Stevens, NYT writer

Wil, looks like TMZ’s sources don’t have credibility on this one.

As per Will Packer, the producer of the event, Will was indeed asked to leave.

Hey Wil, thanks for sharing the link!

Can’t say I’m surprise by Jada’s reaction. It’s all just a game to her. She “plays” Will every which way that’s known to *Woman* – and his mind is so jacked up because of his love for her – he doesn’t care that he’s just entertainment for her.
