One more year, nine more to go until Will Smith can return to the Oscars!
The 95th Academy Awards show took place on Sunday, March 12, without the “Aladdin” star and his family. Showrunners banned the entertainer from attending the prestigious event for ten years following her controversial encounter with Chris Rock.
Last year, the “Six Degrees of Separation” actor shocked the world by slapping the comedian at the awards ceremony. The Hollywood veteran defended his wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith after she made a joke about his baldness.
Given the lack of an invite to the Oscars, the Golden Globe Award winner didn’t wallow in self-pity but spent the weekend soaking up wisdom from a famous life coach. Read on for more information!
Will Smith Supports Jay Shetty’s Show While His Friends Enjoy the Academy Awards

While famous artists and Hollywood newcomers came out in their best outfits to celebrate and be celebrated at the Academy Awards show, one famous figure was absent from the famous red carpet.
As members of the entertainment industry filled the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, the “Men In Black” star and his loved ones enjoyed a wellness program. DailyMail revealed that the actor, along with his wife and mother-in-law Adrienne Banfield-Norris, attended Jay Shetty’s show Love Rules.
The family joined celebrities such as Gammy Norris and Lauren London to enjoy a great session with a life coaching guru. An excerpt from the health program reads: “Jay will take viewers on a journey to find, keep and even let go of love.”
The show includes “live meditations, experiments and demonstrations,” which promises to help attendees enjoy an unforgettable and life-changing night. Given Shetty’s promise of an unforgettable time, perhaps his performance isn’t such a bad trade for the Oscars.
Smith’s 10-year ban from the awards ceremony means the disgraced performer will no longer be able to present the Best Actor trophy at this year’s event. Instead, the honor went to the sensational actress Halle Berry, who gave the Oscars for Best Actor and Actress.
A source claims that the “After Earth” star regrets slapping Rock at the 2022 awards show and has tried “unsuccessfully” to resolve his feud with the comedian. However, the stand-up personality recently opened up about the controversial relationship in a Netflix comedy special.

As shared by The Blast, Rock brought out the big guns in his signature “Selective Outrage,” taking several shots at Smith. The 58-year-old described the younger entertainer’s slap as an outlet for his wife’s scandalous relationship with August Alsina.
She also slammed the couple for airing their dirty laundry publicly on “Red Table Talk,” Pinkett-Smith’s talk show. Discussing the offending matter, Rock said: “I don’t have any problem. Will Smith’s wife killed her son’s friend, OK. Normally I wouldn’t talk about that crap, but for some reason, they put it on the internet.”
The remark was among several insults the comedian made toward the Smiths, insults that left the “Hancock” star bitter. According to sources, the Philadelphia native was “embarrassed and hurt” by the stand-up personality’s jokes.
The tipster stated that the “Emancipation” star did not watch the Netflix special but received word about the show from friends. According to insiders, the father of three was surprised that Rock did not forgive him for the Oscar incident despite his repeated apologies.
Academy Actors Pledge To Avoid Another Smith And Rock Disaster
Last month, ahead of the 95th Annual Academy Awards, it was reported that Janet Yang, president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, had addressed a 2022 fallout between Smith and Rock. The head of the awards ceremony opened up about the situation at the 2023 Oscar Nominees Luncheon.

During the event, the 66-year-old explained that she was upset with the way the Oscars committee handled the situation. According to the New Yorker, his organization’s response was “inadequate” to what he considered “completely unacceptable.”
“South Central” producers noted that the Academy reacted poorly during the 2022 awards broadcast following Smith’s actions toward Rock. Who assured the audience that such terrible misconduct would not happen after that. In the words of the president:
“We learned from this that the academy must be transparent and fully accountable in our actions, and especially in times of crisis, you must act quickly, compassionately and decisively for ourselves and for our industry. You should and can expect nothing less from us in the future.”
