Mean everyone knew about it. Many are just learning that she has this disorder from this incident. I always thought she and her family just cut their hair short. Grandma, Jada, and Willow all sport short/ no hair. Many of us thought it was just their thing. Take my family, for instance, the women all have long thick hair but when they reach a certain age, they cannot be bothered with the maintenance and they all cut their hair short to bald. All my aunts have short to no hair, not one has alopecia. It's their choice. One that I don't understand but maybe one day I'll join them because maintaining my natural hair can be a challenge lol.

The more I think about it, I agree Johnny2X2X Mar 2022 #12

I see you are going to mansplain to Pinkett Smith as to what she can find insulting and what she can hlthe2b Mar 2022 #22

Nobody made fun of anyone. There was no mockery or insult, whatsoever. NYC Liberal Mar 2022 #24

Her face expressed it. You have no right to decide how others should interpret jokes @ their expense hlthe2b Mar 2022 #25

Yet that's exactly what you are doing right now. NYC Liberal Mar 2022 #26

Your own words underscore my points. hlthe2b Mar 2022 #28

Projection. That's what you're doing right now. NYC Liberal Mar 2022 #29
