Jada Pinkett Smith, the wife of Will Smith, who caused the incident at the Oscars, has not always been as confident about hair loss.

Oscars presenter Chris Rock twisted the joke from Jada Pinket Smith’s bald head. AOP

Less than a week before the Oscars, Will Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, posted a video in Tiktok about her life with a disease called alopecia that causes hair loss in Hollywood, which is filled with appearance pressures. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith became the topic of the gala evening after Will defended his wife by hitting the comedian Chris Rockia face. Chris had previously thrown a joke at Jada’s bald head.

Before the gala evening, Jada said she lived in Hollywood in an era where European-style straight hair is also admired in black. He felt pressure to merge into the crowd and tried to straighten his hair, which for a black woman typically retreated to a curl.

– It was hard for me because I considered my hair wild and curly, he says in Tiktok.

– I always had to put my hair in ways that didn’t feel natural to me because I had to play the same game with others. Today I have the courage to say my own opinion. That is why I feel free. I don’t care what shit people think about my bald head, guess what? I love it, he loaded.

Jada has not always been as confident about hair loss. In 2018, he said Red Table Talk In the program, hair loss was very scary at first.

– One day I was in the shower when suddenly I had a handful of hair in my hands. Oh my god, am I going to be bald, I thought? It was one of those moments in my life when I literally trembled with fear, he said.

In December 2021, he was much better off with you, at least in a video he shared on Instagram, where he says that because he has a hard time hiding his bald head, he just shows it openly, so no one has to ask anything.
