With the amount of drama and jokes that surfaced from Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars, and the openness Jada Pinkett has exhibited on her Facebook Watch show Red Table Talk, many viewers have waited months to hear what she would say about the viral incident. And while the accomplished actress did use a new episode of the show briefly comment on the altercation, she had much more to say about an issue that hits close to home for her: alopecia, an autoimmune disorder that leads to hair loss.
“This is a really important Red Table Talk on alopecia. Considering what I’ve been through with my own health and what happened at the Oscars, thousands have reached out to me with their stories,” Pinkett Smith says at the top of the episode. “I’m using this moment to give our alopecia family an opportunity to talk about what it’s like to have this condition and to inform people about what alopecia actually is.”
