BOSTON — U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., was quick to get behind actor Will Smith after he slapped comedian Chris Rock on stage at the Oscars Sunday night.
Then the social media post was quickly deleted.
Pressley, who suffers from alopecia, on Twitter thanked Smith after he took a swing at Rock for a joke about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, not having hair. Jada also suffers from alopecia areata, an autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss.
