The academy released a statement Wednesday.
“Things unfolded in a way we could not have anticipated,” it said. “While we would like to clarify that Mr. [Will] Smith was asked to leave the ceremony and refused, we also recognize we could have handled the situation differently.”

Not only did Smith refuse to leave after the incident, the “King Richard” star was awarded Best Actor, gave a speech, and attended an afterparty.
The Los Angeles Police Department said Rock declined to press charges after Smith responded with violence and vulgarity when Rock made a “G.I. Jane 2” joke about Jada Pinkett Smith.
Smith put out an apology Tuesday, but the backlash has not let up. Join AMAC – an incredible organization for Conservatives – fighting for our values in Washington, D.C.

His apology came after the film academy announced it was launching a formal review into his behavior “and will explore further action and consequences in accordance with our bylaws, standards of conduct and California law.”
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
