awards show — quickly went viral, leaving onlookers stunned at the uncharacteristically public aggression between two of Hollywood's biggest stars., both to the Academy and Rock directly, noting that hearing Rock make light of Pinkett Smith's very public struggle with hair loss had pushed him past his limit.
"Jokes at my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about Jada's medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally," Smith wrote. Pinkett Smith has shared publicly her struggles with alopecia — an autoimmune disorder that causes sudden, unpredictable hair loss in its sufferers — and late last year, debuted a close-shaved head to embrace her involuntary hair loss.Her Tuesday message, broadcast to some 11.7 million Instagram followers, was characteristic of the"Girls Trip" star, who routinely posts simple uplifting messages to her timeline.
While Pinkett Smith has not talked publicly about the slap, or the joke that led to it, social media users have weighed in, with many split on which party — Rock, Smith, or both — was in the wrong."Ok.... enough about the Smiths and the Rocks," one woman wrote."Let's get back to supporting and uplifting each other. Our struggles are real, but we shine bright like diamonds."
