Tony Awards issue ‘slap’ warning to stars after Oscars mess
Amid the fallout from last month’s Oscars slap, producers for the upcoming Tony Awards are warning potential copycats to refrain from following suit — or they’ll face severe consequences.“The Tony Awards has a strict no violence policy. In the event of an incident, the perpetrator will be removed from the event immediately.”
Along with discouraging slap-happy Broadway buffs, the letter also reminded potential ticket-buyers of other restrictions, including wearing black tie and bringing proof of COVID vaccination. The warning comes nearly a month after the infamous Smackademy Awards incident, in which Will Smith slapped Oscars presenter Chris Rock after the 57-year-old comic made a crack about his bald-headed wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, who has alopecia.
Since the incident, Smith has apologized to Rock and resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The Academy later announced that the “King Richard” star is banned from all of the organization’s events for 10 years.Jada Pinkett Smith ‘never’ wanted to marry Will Smith
