Will Smith was never asked to leave the Oscars following Sunday's slap, a new report claims, as Academy Governor Whoopi Goldberg says bosses were too scared to physically remove the star over fears he was 'manic' and would cause an on-camera scene. On Thursday, conflicting accounts emerged of Sunday night's drama. Sources close to the star told TMZ that Oscars producer Will Packer had directly approached Smith and told him 'We do not want you to leave,' after he slapped host Chris Rock for joking about Smith's wife Jada. But an official Academy statement claimed that Smith had in fact been asked to leave. And speaking on The View Thursday morning, Goldberg said she knew why no attempt had been made to forcibly remove Smith over the attack. Goldberg said Academy bosses feared Smith was having a 'manic' episode and feared that any attempts to forcibly remove him could have resulted in an on-camera struggle. But according to TMZ, Oscars producer Packer told Smith he could remain at around 8pm, about 35 minutes after the slap and just five minutes before the actor won his first Academy Award for his role in King Richard. However, Goldberg insisted that Smith was asked to leave, but that there were fears he was 'manic' and would make a scene if security tried to physically escort him out.
