After the slap scandal surrounding Will Smith (53) at the 94th Academy Awards, the "King Richard" actor is no longer allowed to attend Oscars and other Academy events.

This exclusion is to apply for ten years.

The association announced this on Friday in Los Angeles.

The Academy board met on Friday morning (local time) to discuss the consequences of Smith's violent behavior.

Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock onstage at the Oscars on March 27 after he made a joke about Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett.

It was about her shaved head, the actress suffers from pathological hair loss.

Shortly thereafter, Smith won Best Actor for his role in the tennis drama King Richard.
