Instead of undergoing a full trial and an eventual voting from members of the Academy, Will Smith decided to resign from it instead. In a recent statement where he explains his reasons, the actor that recently won the Oscar for his performance in 'King Richard' decided to quit the Academy for good.

This comes in the wake of a complete scandal that formed after he physically assaulted Chris Rock as the comedian made a joke about his wife's bald head. Rock had no idea Jada Pinkett Smith suffered alopecia, which is the main reason he decided to tell the joke in the first place.
