Oscars: Will Packer Says LAPD Was Prepared to Arrest Will Smith, Citing Battery

‘s interview with Packer that airs in full Friday, the producer said that the LAPD was ready to arrest Smith until Rock declined to press charges.

“They were saying, ‘You know, this is battery,’ was the word they use in that moment,” Packer said. “They said, ‘We will go get him; we are prepared. We’re prepared to get him right now. You can press charges. We can arrest him.'” Packer continued, “They were laying out the options, and as they were talking, Chris was being very dismissive of those options. He was like, ‘No, I’m fine.’ He was like, ‘No, no, no.'”On Wednesday, the Academy stated that “” against Smith had begun, which could lead to “suspension, expulsion, or other sanctions permitted by the Bylaws and Standards of Conduct.” In this latest statement, the Academy also said Smith had been asked to leave the show but refused.

But what Chris Rock did was ok? NO, IT EFFING WASN’T.

As exec producer, he’s also one of the deciding voices in how the show is put together, which act to show, which awards to include… So, you know, grain of salt.

Princess Will Smith

Why didn’t the academy eject him even if Rock declined to press charges?
