Months after the Oscar holocaust will fans get to see Will Smith attending the 2023 Oscars to be held in March

Will the Fresh Prince Return? Can Will Smith Attend the 2023 Academy Awards, Following the Notorious Slap-Gate Incident at Oscars 2022?

Will the world forgive Will Smith or not? This question has been the subject of
heated debate on the internet for several months. The controversial incident at
the 94th Academy Awards marked the image of the American superstar in the public
eye. One slap that telecasted him onto the very dark side of Hollywood history
when he stormed the stage to defend his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.



Although the Bad Boys star apologized to the famous comedian later he did face
major consequences for his actions. Smith remained the target of the media
frenzy around the drama hiding in the shadows. As for now, people have started
talking about this fiasco once again saying that we should let the past go. Yet
the question arises whether the Ali starlet will be allowed to attend the 2023
Oscar or not.


IS WILL SMITH WELCOMED AT THE ACADEMY AWARDS THIS YEAR? 

According to the statements issued last April following the infamous incident at
the 2022 Oscars, Will Smith is not welcomed at the most prestigious events of
the industry for ten years. The Academy Board condemned the 54-year-old actor
for his catastrophic behavior exhibited that night. They said that the Grammy
winner clouded the evening of celebrations by slapping Chris Rock.



“Mr. Smith shall not be permitted to attend any Academy events or programs, in
person or virtually, including but not limited to the Academy Awards.” read the
statement.

Therefore, it is beyond question that the Suicide Squad star is forbidden from
attending the ceremony

for fans who wishes to see this legendary actor on the silver screen shouldn’t
worry. Will Smith might not be able to step on Academy red carpet but his future
as an actor is completely safe.

to reprise his role in the upcoming Aladdin sequel. The creators believe that
