Banned from the Oscars: Will Smith takes his family to see life coach guru after Chris Rock slap
Will Smith took his family to see life coach guru Jay Shetty in Los Angeles over Oscars weekend - one year after after he infamously slapped Chris Rock at the 2022 ceremony.
The Oscar-winning actor, 54 - whose assault on Rock, 58, landed him a 10-year ban from the ceremony - stepped out with wife Jada Pinkett Smith and posed with Shetty, Gammy Norris and Lauren London at the Love Rules show,
A synopsis of the show reads: 'Jay will take the audience on a journey of finding, keeping, and even letting go of love. Including live meditations, experiments, and demonstrations, this will be an unforgettable and transformational evening.;
Smith's appearance comes after he was forced to give up the honor of presenting the best actor gong to this year's winner due to his slap of Rock.
Smith sent shockwaves around the world when he slapped Rock onstage after he made a joke about his wife shaved head - with Kimmel, 55, keen to make light of the incident a year later in a chat with The Hollywood Reporter.

Slap: Smith sent shockwaves around the world when he slapped Rock, 58, onstage after he made a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith's shaved head - with Kimmel, 55, keen to make light of the incident
The slap occurred last year after Rock made a joke about Pinkett-Smith's bald head, caused by alopecia.
Rock had joked that Pinkett-Smith was rocking a 'G.I. Jane' look which caused her husband to storm the stage and slap him, followed by him repeating: 'Keep my wife's name out your f***ing mouth!'
Smith is 'still remorseful' over slapping Rock at the 2022 Oscars and has tried 'unsuccessfully' to make amends with the comedian, a source told People this week.
Rock recently tore into Will and Jada's relationship and addressed the slap on new Netflix show, Selective Outrage.
The 95th Academy Awards will be hosted by late night chat show host Jimmy Kimmel and are being held at the regular venue of the Dolby Theater in Hollywood.
Top Gun: Maverick has been nominated for six Oscars including Best Picture, in a sign that Hollywood is finally listening to audiences and honoring box office hits instead of arthouse favorites.
The movie starring Tom Cruise is nominated for Best Picture along with Elvis, Avatar: The Way of Water, All Quiet On The Western Front and The Fabelmans.
While Cruise missed out on a nomination for Best Actor, the nomination for Best Picture could bring him his first Academy Award.
However, Everything Everywhere All At Once led the pack with the most nominations with 11 and The Banshees of Inisherin earned nine nominations. The two films swept the Golden Globes earlier this month.

Elvis, by Baz Luhrmann, has eight nominations, including one for Austin Butler.
Best Actress at the Oscars will be a toss-up between Cate Blanchett in Tár and Michelle Yeoh, who won the award at the Golden Globes for her performance in Everything Everywhere All at Once.
Ana De Armas also earned a nomination for her portrayal of Marilyn Monroe in Blonde.
While Cruise missed out on a nomination for Best Actor, Austin Butler (Elvis), Brendan Fraser (The Whale) and Bill Nighy (Living) all received nods.
All Quiet On The Western Front, a German-produced film, earned multiple nominations, as did Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, including Best Original Song.
Angela Bassett is nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, as is Jamie Lee Curtis for Everything Everywhere All At Once.
Winners will be voted on by the roughly 10,000 actors, producers, directors and film craftspeople who make up the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
The academy added more women and people of color to its ranks after the #OscarsSoWhite uproars of 2015 and 2016, and it increased membership from outside the United States.
Big favorite: However, Everything Everywhere All At Once led the pack with the most nominations with 11
This year, seven of the 20 acting nominees were people of color, including Yeoh's Everything Everywhere All At Once castmates Ke Huy Quan and Stephanie Quan.
The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences will surely celebrate a best-picture field populated with blockbusters; according to data firm Comscore, their collective domestic box office of $1.574 billion is the most ever at the time of nominations.
Last year's awards had been looking like a comeback edition before 'the slap' came to define the ceremony. In the aftermath, the academy banned Will Smith from attending for the next 10 years.
Though he could have still been nominated, Smith's performance as a runaway slave in Emancipation didn't catch on with voters.

But larger concerns are swirling around the movie business. Last year saw flashes of triumphant resurrection for theaters, like the success of Top Gun: Maverick, but less stellar results for most dramas.
Partially due to an inconsistent stream of major releases, ticket sales for the year recovered only about 70 percent of pre-pandemic business.
Stocks for streaming services, meanwhile, have plunged as Wall Street looked to streaming services to earn profits, not just add subscribers.
Last year's Oscar broadcast drew 16.6 million viewers, according to Nielsen, up from the record-low audience of 10.5 million for the pandemic-marred 2021 telecast.
