The Will Smith slap wasn't the only bit of drama to arise out of the 2022 Oscars.
In her upcoming memoir "Kids, Wait Till You Hear This," Liza Minnelli, 79, describes being unhappy that she was allegedly forced to sit in a wheelchair when she presented best picture at the 2022 Academy Awards with Lady Gaga. Minnelli says she was expecting to sit in a director's chair, but this changed at the last minute.
USA TODAY has reached out to Gaga and the Academy for comment.
"I was inexplicably ordered − not even asked − to sit in a wheelchair or not appear at all," the "Cabaret" star claims in the book, according to an excerpt published by People magazine on Feb. 20.
"I was told it was because of my age, and for safety reasons, because I might slip out of the director's chair, which was bull----. I will not be treated this way, I said. My co-presenter insisted she would not go on stage with me unless I was in a wheelchair."
