_x000D__x000D_Jada Pinkett Smith revealed in 2018 that she was diagnosed with alopecia. She has often discussed hair loss challenges on Instagram and other social media platforms. Pinkett came to the 2022 Oscars alongside her husband, Will Smith, the Best Leading Actor award winner for “King Richard.” When Chris Rock took verbal aim at Pinkett Smith’s shaved head from the stage, referencing the 1997 film G.I. Jane in which Demi Moore shaved her head, Will Smith took a swing at him. Smith later apologized.
