Jeff Ross Thoughts on the Will Smith Slap | Chris Rock | Normalizing Jada Pinkett Smith's Alopecia

[@citizenVader]

So glad to hear Jeff saying it's a condition.. stop the victim worrying by saying someone is suffering.. it's not a braincancer

[@viperrecords3288]

Exactly. People are trying to make it seem like Will was justified in what he did.

[@forallthestupidshit3550]

People should also look into what Jeff Ross has and what traction alopecia is; which is alopecia caused by excessive weave-wearing from pulling the hard too tight for too long. When that happens, we should hold vigils for the women who lose their hair?? Wtf, people?

[@speediepitstop1531]

I wear glasses without them i cannot see very well, all that is wrong with GI Jane is that she is losing her hair, I would rather be bald with good eyes, then have bad eyes and lots of hair like i do

[@hutch1197]

Honestly, when Chris made that joke, my very first thought was "She SHOULD do a remake of G.I. Jane. She'd be bad ass!" But then, she and her husband ruined everything by dumping their dysfunctional family dreck into our laps.

[@lmichelle80sbaby]

I felt the same. If they were smart, she'd have gave Will a different look that said, "you got that? Call the studio!" & it would/could have been fabulous!!!

[@ryanodagawa]

I agree...I never thought about it that way, but the joke could be looked at not like an insult, per se. But she (and Will) took it that way. If Chris just thought the hairstyle was just a style, and not a condition (alopecia), it could be an interesting observation for her to actually do a remake of GI jane. I mean, I don't know all of the contexts between the three of them. But it is Chris Rock. That's his schtick.

She's too old to play a newly enlisted service member. Demi was 26 when GI Jane was released which makes her 24-25 during filming. Jada is currently 51.

[@mrgraham5521]

The alopecia angle never occurred to me. Thank you Jeff Ross for explaining this point. Pure genius.

[@P4P1980]

No Alopecia wasn’t the theme of the joke. It was if they made a sequel to a cult classic chances are an a list actor won’t be interested or hard to get but given Jada’s piggy backing nature and has a name of sorts they would bank on her to take it. In short, Chris was politely saying ur husband is the star and ur the hanger on. No Alopecia, that was Jada playing victim to maybe get Chris cancelled

[@mrgraham5521]

I understood the joke. By " alopecia angle ", I meant that I agree with Jeff Ross that it would have probably meant a lot to people with alopecia if Jada would have laughed it off. It was a very light hearted joke.

But he didn't and he got a standing ovation with an award. He is only banned due to public opinion. If majority people weren't against him he would have not even got banned from Oscars or lost any role. Chris had good support system and whole comedian fraternity joined hands for him which led to will getting a slap in the wrist for hsi stupidity.

[@Boobalopbop]

I think what isn’t pointed out enough is the fact that she doesn’t have alopecia. She has a shaved head. Jeff Ross knows the difference and everyone that has alopecia knows the difference. She originally claimed a linear bald line on top of her head was from her alopecia, when it’s actually a scar from a brow lift. She likes to wear her hair short. She has almost always had close cropped hair for her entire career. She is not bald from alopecia, she chooses to shave her head. For an example of a black woman with alopecia who chooses to shave her hair is congresswoman Ayanna Pressley. Alopecia isn’t a buzz cut. It’s clean bald spots.

The thing about condemning or forgiving Will Smith. Logically I want to get past it and go back to thoroughly enjoying his films and the man himself. I don’t want to hold any lingering grudge but it was more than him slapping Rock. He went onto that stage, in front of millions of viewers and assaulted someone. It stunned me and shook me. I can’t imagine how viewers who were survivors of domestic abuse felt when that happened without warning. The pain on Chris’s face was both physical and emotional. But it didn’t end there. The show limped on but the magic was lost. Will had the gall to accept an award and give a magnanimous speech with morons clapping around him. It completely overshadowed other winner’s celebrations. The whole thing sickened me. That is the reason I cannot and may not ever be able to watch Will Smith act again.

[@cristinaapariciolinale2119]

What Will did is a crime, if Chris had wanted to he could’ve pressed charges and we’d have a mugshot of Will and possible jail time or at least some kind of punishment. Will Smith owes Chris a lot and yeah I can’t watch his stuff…even Bel Air which I was getting into it’s hard to watch.

I'm not even talking about slapping a human being! I'm not even talking about all the other actors in the audience that clapped when Smith got an Oscar Award. Got an Oscar after having slapped a human being. A very talented human being in my opinion but non the less!!!!!!!!

[@EazyE11]

[@kanikagaral7637]

I agree with Jeff. I got alopecia areata due to stress during covid lockdown. And second time the next year due to some family drama. Both times it was stress related. First time it happened I was so scared that i might be go bald at young age. People were gonna make fun of me and I won't ever get to date maybe. I pulled through and second time i hated it better. So seeing someone act like that definitely makes u feel less and ugly. If she had laughed it off and shown confidence in her condition it would ahve helped many others to accept their too.

Or when Howie stood on a dummy leg with a net on his head, and took the net and through and said something like And now I will stand on one leg without a net. And, then he took that guys chair, and put it on stage and started throwing stuff at him, telling him it was just like 3D. It's my potty and I will cry if I want too.

Think about what he was screaming when he sat back down, and what’s really in the blank: “Keep my wife’s ______ out your f***ing mouth.” This rage was not about his wife’s name and it was about somebody else’s mouth. And it’s impotent rage, when immediately after smacking the person who supposedly offended your wife right across the face, you are still out of control screaming at the top of your lungs. Nobody who saw this terrifying vision of a man nakedly displaying his humiliation to the entire world, can ever forget it.

[@slipnorris5882]

It was the repeated screaming that made it worse. He was trying to instill his dominance over a man in front of millions of people. If he kept quiet after the smack and later apologized, the anger over this incident would have lessened . This was textbook bullying here.

[@bernlin2000]

Jeff was always going to have a good take on that mess, but this is even better than I could have expected. It's a shame that Will normalized bullying people with hair loss: he turned a teachable moment into yet another fear-based one. And also injected shame into the conversation. Boggles my mind they could ban him for 10 years, yet still let him pick up a "Best Actor" trophy. Such a waste of an opportunity, in so many ways.

I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't regret anything that happened. She's terrible.

[@BbGun-lw5vi]

I can’t stand Jada. But after I read Will Smith’s book it was so obvious he is a controlling narcissist and egomaniac. He was awful to every girlfriend. I read his book before the Oscars so I wasn’t surprised when Will slapped Chris Rock since it was clear he thought he was untouchable. I was shocked that when I finished reading his book, I felt a little sorry for Jada. I really dislike her so that’s saying a lot. Will drives everyone around him crazy. He’s exhausting! I used to think Jada was the problem but after getting a better look at his behavior I realize that both of them are toxic.

Not to mention you could absolutely tell Chris did not know she had alopecia…which shouldn’t matter one way or the other. It was such a mild joke….JOKE being the key word here.

The other side of the alopecia angle, is that if it was traumatic enough for a little girl to kill herself over it then maybe we shouldn't be making fun of it at all. The trauma that people suffer for whatever reason we really have to be conscious of whether or not we make fun of it. Teasing that little 10-year-old girl is the EXACT same as teasing Jada pinkett Smith. So if you're going to have sympathy for little girl being teased with alopecia. You should also have sympathy for Jada pinkett Smith. That doesn't give Will Smith an excuse to slap Chris Rock. But many people made Jada a villain for feeling some kind of way about this
