Jada Pinkett Smith addressed Chris Rock's "G.I. Jane" comments at the Oscars and Will Smith's slap in emotional "Red Table Talk" about alopecia.

"This is a really important 'Red Table Talk' about alopecia," Pinkett Smith said at the start of Wednesday's episode. Rio died by suicide in March. "Nobody prepares you to sign a death certificate for your child," Ball tearfully shared. After countless treatments, Rio "glowed" when she decided to ultimately shave her head and began wearing a wig. When Rio returned to school in the fall she faced relentless bullying. Rock continued speaking before presenting the award for best documentary feature, as Smith got out of his seat, walked up to Rock and slapped him.

“When I heard her story, it affected me so profoundly,” Pinkett Smith said. “The part that makes it most difficult for me is that it comes and goes,” Pinkett Smith said. ... I really wish I would have found them for her sooner instead of them coming and speaking at her funeral.” According to Singh, 1 out of 3 Black women develops traction alopecia, resulting in a receding frontal hairline that can be caused by tight hairstyles. Though she was excited to wear a brunette wig to middle school, her classmates mocked her and ripped the hairpiece off. I didn’t realize how huge and amazing that community is. We examine its politics and meaning. “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. Rio died less than two weeks before the Oscars ignited conversations about alopecia on social media and beyond. This is crazy,’” Ball recalled. When she didn’t wear the wig, students made cruel comments and jokes about her bald head. Until then, Will and I are continuing to do what we have done for the last 28 years.

The episodes are Pinkett Smith's first major response since Will Smith slapped Chris Rock.

When presenting an award at the Oscars in March, Rock joked about Pinkett Smith, who was seated with Smith close to the stage, and compared her appearance to the movie character G.I. Jane. Smith took to the stage and slapped and yelled at Rock. Later that night he won the award for Best Oscar. Smith apologized to Rock and to the Academy, which he permanently resigned from. The Academy also banned Smith from being able to attend events put on by the group for 10 years, though he can still be nominated for awards. Shortly after the incident, she said in a statement that her family is “focusing on deep healing” and some “discoveries” from that process will be shared on Red Table Talk “when the time comes.”
