People Call For Adrien Brody To Be Banned From Oscars After ‘Disgusting’ Act

Adrien Brody is encountering significant criticism following his second Best Actor Oscar win for The Brutalist. While commemorating his achievement, the 51-year-old actor surprised the audience by tossing his gum at his girlfriend, Georgina Chapman, as he made his way to the stage. Chapman managed to catch it, but the incident sparked outrage on social media.

One user on X commented, “Disgusting. Ban him.” Another remarked, “That’s so foul.” Critics condemned his “disrespectful” actions, drawing parallels to Will Smith’s notorious slap.

In his acceptance speech, Brody expressed gratitude towards Chapman and her children, referring to the award as a “chance to begin again.” Nevertheless, many viewers believed he should have offered an apology instead. This incident has overshadowed his Oscar victory, resulting in a divided response from fans.
