David Rubin, president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, said at the time that the organization had received and accepted Smith’s “immediate resignation.”
“We will continue to advance our disciplinary proceedings against Mr. Smith for violations of the Academy’s Standards of Conduct, ahead of our next board meeting scheduled for April 18,” added Rubin.
On March 28, after the incident, Smith apologized for his act. “Violence in all its forms is poisonous and destructive. My behavior at last night’s Oscars was unacceptable and unforgivable.”
