According to reports, the fallout from Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars continues with Netflix scrapping plans for Bright 2 starring Smith.
The news appeared in a report by Bloomberg where Smith's upcoming National Geographic project was delayed as a result of the slap followed by Netflix cancelling their plans altogether. However, Bloomberg reporter Lucas Shaw tweeted that the Netflix decision was "unrelated" to the Oscars slap.
For those who missed it, the Oscar award-winning actor issued a statement apologizing for his actions:
"My actions at the 94th Academy Awards presentation were shocking, painful, and inexcusable. The list of those I have hurt is long and includes Chris, his family, many of my dear friends and loved ones, all those in attendance, and global audiences at home," said the actor. "I betrayed the trust of the Academy. I deprived other nominees and winners of their opportunity to celebrate and be celebrated for their extraordinary work. I am heartbroken."
