The Will Smith slap saga may be nearing its finale earlier than expected.
David Rubin, the president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, moved up a meeting by more than a week to discuss “possible sanctions” for Smith after the actor slapped comedian Chris Rock during last month’s Oscars ceremony, according to a letter obtained by CNN.
The meeting will now take place Friday rather than April 18, after Smith resigned from the Academy last week and can no longer be suspended.
