Smith\u2019s experience seems reflective of that. \u201cWhen I came out of it, I realized that anything that happens in my life, I can handle it. I can handle any person I lose, I can handle anything that goes wrong in my life, I can handle anything in my marriage. I can handle anything that this life has to offer me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"1653443727214_4B6p.gif\" src=\"https:\/\/files.merryjane.com\/uploads\/general\/1653443727214_4B6p.gif\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 301px;\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Smith resigned from the Academy after slapping the shit out of Chris Rock on live TV.
