An awkward and disconcerting moment was experienced at the 94th Oscar Awards, when in the middle of the presentation of one of the categories, Will Smith burst onto the stage completely enraged.

Chris Rock was presenting the Best Documentary Award when he made an unfortunate joke that caused the actor and producer's anger.

The comedian joked that Smith was looking forward to a sequel to G.I. Jane, making obvious reference to his wife's bald head. So Smith got up from his seat, walked to Rock, and slapped him. After sitting down again, Smith shouted to Rock, “Get my wife's name out of your damn mouth,” visibly angry.

The comparison of Demi Moore's shaved hair character in the 1997 film G.I. Jane alopecia alopecia, the condition that Jada Pinkett has been facing for some time.

And it is that Jada has been wearing short hair for several years now, a very fresh cut that has become her hallmark. However, in December 2021 the actress went further and completely shaved her head, but behind this look is a compelling reason that the actress herself uncovered on her social networks.

“I'm going to cut everything until I see my scalp so that no one thinks I've had brain surgery, or something like that,” begins by saying Jada Pinkett Smith in her Instagram post where she appears showing her style. “This alopecia and I will be friends... Period!”

“I've been fighting alopecia and all of a sudden, one day, look at this line here. Look at this. It turned up like this and it's going to be a little hard to hide. So I thought I'd share it so they wouldn't ask questions,” the actress continued as she stroked her totally shaved head.

Previously, in 2018, Jada had talked about her baldness. It was on the show Red Table Talk that he narrated how he began to lose his hair. It's not easy to deal with,” he said. “I'm struggling with hair loss problems. One day I was in the shower and all of a sudden, I found that I had handfuls of hair on my hands,” he recalls. A moment that he remembers as the worst moment of his life when he literally kept trembling: “I thought... 'God, I'm going bald'”.
