Will resigned from Hollywood’s Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences just days after slapping Chris Rock at their prestigious awards ceremony, which was followed by the announcement that Will was also being served with a 10-year ban from attending the Oscars.

With Will having completely removed himself from the spotlight in the past few months, Kevin previously issued an update to let it be known that the Hollywood star is doing much better and that people are bound to make mistakes in life while addressing the Oscars slap.

“Will is apologetic, you know, he’s in a better space, of course, than what he was after,” he shared to Entertainment Tonight.

“People are human and as humans sometimes we make mistakes. So it’s not about talking about the past, it’s about acknowledging the present and doing your best to move forward.”
