An alopecia sufferer who has suffered similar hurtful comments as those levied at Will Smith's wife at the Oscars has backed his reaction and called it "comforting".
Hollywood legend Smith, 53, smacked Chris Rock, 57, at last night's Oscar 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 - mocking her for her hair condition.
