Just days after the 2022 Oscars, he sold out tickets for his stand-up show, and when he arrived, the audience gave him a standing ovation.

The star said at the time:

“How was your weekend?”

“I don’t have a bunch of shit about what happened, so if you came to hear that, I have a whole show I wrote before this weekend.”

”I’m still kind of processing what happened. So, at some point I’ll talk about that shit. And it will be serious and funny.”

Smith, on the other hand, has stayed out of the spotlight since the Oscars event.

As a punishment for his inexcusable act at the Academy, he has been banned from all Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences events for the next 10 years.
