What illness does Jada Pinkett, Will Smith’s wife, suffer from?

To see a woman with little hair, unfortunately, for many it is synonymous with a serious illness such as cancer. Despite the fact that they are usually the ones who wear alopecia naturally, women often opt for wigs to try to practically solve this problem. Although not all hide the problem and some naturally choose to talk about it to share their experience with it and help in some way to all those who want to leave their complexes. This is the case of Jada-Pinkett Smith, wife of Will Smith, who has revealed that she suffers from an autoimmune disorder of alopecia, which attacks hair follicles and causes hair loss, resulting in baldness.

It was precisely a joke by the presenter of the Oscar gala, ChrisRock, about Jada-Pinkett Smith’s alopecia, whom he compared to Lieutenant O’Neil, the funniest moment of the gala. The interpreter, who would end up winning the Oscar minutes later for best actor for ‘The Williams method’, went on stage and slapped Rock, to everyone’s surprise. Until that moment, everything seemed like a joke. Smith returned to his seat and rebuked his ‘victim’: “Take my wife’s name out of your fucking mouth” he snapped. Jada-Pinkett Smith has confessed that she suffers from alopecia as a result of an autoimmune disorder.

To talk about this disorder, the 50-year-old actress has chosen to tell it through Instagram, where she has shared a video with all her followers (which reaches almost 11 million) so that it stops stigmatize this problem.

“Now, at this point, I can only laugh,” said the presenter of Red Table Talk, while running his finger over an area where he barely grows hair and that it has the appearance of a scar, of a lighter color. “Everyone knows I’ve been battling alopecia and, suddenly, one day, look at this line here,” he said. in this programwho drives with her mother and daughter Willow, Jada is sometimes shown wearing a headscarf, though other times she is not wearing a head covering.
