The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said Wednesday that it began its “disciplinary proceedings” against Will Smith for slapping Chris Rock at Sunday’s Oscar ceremony.

“The Board of Governors today initiated disciplinary proceedings against Mr. Smith for violations of the Academy’s Standards of Conduct, including inappropriate physical contact, abusive or threatening behavior, and compromising the integrity of the Academy,” the statement said.

In their statement, the board also revealed, “Mr. Smith was asked to leave the ceremony and refused, we also recognize we could have handled the situation differently.”

Another board meeting is set to take place on April 18 which the Academy make take action against the “King Richard” star that could include suspension, expulsion, or other sanctions permitted by the Bylaws and Standards of Conduct.

“Consistent with the Academy’s Standards of Conduct, as well as California law, Mr. Smith is being provided at least 15 days’ notice of a vote regarding his violations and sanctions, and the opportunity to be heard beforehand by means of a written response,” the statement said.

Smith has been in the hot seat since he took the stage and slapped Chris Rock for making a joke about Jada Pinkett-Smith’s hair.

The Academy also shared their thoughts about the incident expressing that Smith’s actions at the event “were a deeply shocking, traumatic event to witness in-person and on television. Mr. Rock, we apologize to you for what you experienced on our stage and thank you for your resilience in that moment,” the statement added. “We also apologize to our nominees, guests and viewers for what transpired during what should have been a celebratory event.”
