It’s perfectly plausible that Rock didn’t even know she has a hair issue
Jada has worn short hair many times throughout her life
Will’s swagger and smile after he did it is ridiculous. They should take away his Oscar..if he was White they would.

If you’re a big enough star you can slap someone on live TV and casually sit down. Enjoy the rest of the ceremony. Win an award. Get a standing ovation. Kinda apologize but not really. Get another standing ovation and then have people defend you. America is amazing. #Oscars
In a normal world, yes.
Exactly what I think. Many black women have gone to butch-like shaves, as a choice, so how was Rock to know that it wasn’t a fashion choice? The least Smith could have done was stand up and say, “not sure you know this Bro, but my wife has a medical condition and she should be admired for not sticking a wig on her head.” That would have spoken volumes to many women with not only alopecia but cancer.
My beautiful niece died of brain cancer and had several invasive operations and treatments. She refused to wear a wig, saying cancer will not win and make her something she wasn’t. She also said, “Because of God, I have been attractive all my life, now he wants me to search more inwardly for beauty.” When she was losing her speech, she said, “I have talked to much, now God wants me to listen”. She also said, laughingly, “HAIR IS OVERRATED”.
