After Will Smith’s iconic smackdown, the Academy reportedly summoned an emergency meeting to determine if he should be stripped of his Oscar.

The organizers reportedly ‘went into full crisis mode after publically criticizing Smith for slapping Chris Rock, according to The Sun.

“Once the ceremony was over, they called in key members to hold an emergency meeting about what action they should take,” a source spilt to the outlet while adding, “There have been calls to have Will stripped of his Best Actor gong.”

“They cannot be seen to be condoning violence in any way and there are some people in the Academy who believe they should remove the award from him to make a point.

“Others however believe he should be allowed to hold onto it,” the insider added.
