Jada Pinkett Smith welcomed members of the alopecia community to her “Red Table Talk” series after the Oscars moment that sparked discussions about the hair loss condition she suffers from.
On Wednesday, Jada Pinkett Smith welcomed members of the alopecia community to her Facebook Watch series “Red Table Talk” after that Oscars moment sparked fervent discussions about the hair loss condition she suffers from.
Prior to the awards show, the actor and TV host had been vocal about her experiences with alopecia areata, an autoimmune disorder that causes rapid hair loss and affects about 7 million people in the United States, according to dermatologist and “Red Table Talk” guest Meena Singh.“My deepest hope is that these two intelligent, capable men have an opportunity to heal, talk this out and reconcile the state of the world today. We need them both, and we all actually need one another more than ever.
The panelists’ first guest was Niki Ball, the heartbroken mother of a 12-year-old girl, Rio, who died by suicide after getting bullied because she had alopecia areata. Rio died less than two weeks before the Oscars ignited conversations about alopecia on social media and beyond. “People are gonna be Googling, ‘What is alopecia?’ ... It’s not a joke. The alopecia community was already in an uproar. We had heard from so many people. I didn’t realize how huge and amazing that community is. ... I really wish I would have found them for her sooner instead of them coming and speaking at her funeral.”
