I feel like there's a Jada Smith joke in here somewhere... I never heard the term alopecia in my life until that "slap" incident and subsequently heard it 1000 times in reference to that. Hard not to see this headline and think of it.
- nailer 4y agoJada Pinkett Smith doesn’t have alopecia, she has a facelift scar. https://youtu.be/DdPmmlvhpHk https://youtu.be/DdPmmlvhpHk
- gnicholas 4y agoThat was speculation by a doctor who hasn't treated her. Timestamped link: https://youtu.be/DdPmmlvhpHk?t=694 https://youtu.be/DdPmmlvhpHk?t=694
- nailer 4y agoThat is correct, however the doctor is a hair loss specialist (and also has alopecia himself, which I feel may mean he is quite familiar with the condition).
- gnicholas 4y agoAgree that he can weigh in on whether the scar is not alopecia, but less so on whether it is a scar (or from what). Also, he's not saying that the balding is from a scar, which was the impression I got when I first read your comment.
- nailer 4y ago> he's not saying that the balding is from a scar Yes he is. Watch the video again.
- cjbgkagh 4y agoThe video was pretty convincing. Looks way more like a scar than alopecia.
- philwelch 4y agoThere's actually a conspiracy theory that the Jada Smith/Will Smith/Chris Rock incident was staged as a publicity stunt by some pharmaceutical company. The version of the theory I heard circled around Pfizer (who overtly sponsored the Oscars), but this article says Eli Lilly was the company behind this drug.
