An alopecia sufferer who has been targeted with the same insult as Will Smith's wife has backed his explosive reaction - calling it "comforting". Hollywood legend Smith, 53, slapped Chris Rock, 57, at last night's awards ceremony over an ill-advised quip about his wife.
Rock, a famed stand-up comic, said Jada Pinkett Smith, 50, was set to make GI Jane 2 - referring to her hair condition. This prompted her husband, who later won the best actor award, to storm the stage and slap Rock - before shouting: "Keep my wife's name out of your f****** mouth!"
Reality star ZaraLena Jackson, who also suffers from alopecia, has firmly backed Smith's actions. The Ex on the Beach contestant said that, although she does not condone violence, Rock should have "known better".
