Fans are questioning Jada Pinkett Smith’s claim of having alopecia after she revealed a new pink hairstyle for her 52nd birthday. Since 2018, Jada has been open about her struggle with alopecia, an autoimmune condition causing hair loss. She even shaved her head after learning she would lose more hair.
Recently, fans speculated that Jada might not have alopecia after all, suggesting she might have shaved her head voluntarily. Some accused her of creating drama for attention, especially since her recent photos show hair growth, contrary to expectations for alopecia patients. Despite controversy, supporters praised Jada’s beauty with or without hair.
The issue intensified after an incident at the 2022 Oscars when Will Smith slapped Chris Rock for making jokes about Jada’s baldness, sparking allegations that Jada’s alopecia claim was a cover-up. Regardless, Jada continues to share updates on her hair journey, celebrating her latest hair growth as a “birthday sherbet surprise.”
In response to criticisms, Jada’s supporters highlight her resilience and beauty, affirming her right to share her journey with alopecia authentically.
