Jada Pinkett – Smith Forms Friendship With ‘Dance Moms’ Star
Get ready to twirl over the newly formed friendship between “Dance Moms” star Abby Lee Miller and actress Jada Pinkett Smith! But the reality TV star and wife of Will Smith just connected for an unexpected reason, reported People. And it concerns the same reason that Will infamously slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars!
As viewers of that smack-down know, Rock mocked Jada’s bald head. However, the comedian did not know that Pinkett Smith suffers from a condition resulting in hair loss. And Abby Lee Miller knows that problem all too well. As a result, the “Dance Moms” star and wife of Will Smith have bonded.
Teaming up at a recent event, the 50-year-old actress and 56-year-old “Dance Moms” star posed together for photos. And Miller explained how they connected in a social media post. “I had a chance to talk to the radiant @jadapinkettsmith and we both agree – it’s just easier to throw on a baseball cap than it is [to] do your hair!” shared Abby. “Whether you lose it all going through rounds of chemotherapy (like I did) or as a result of many other illnesses, functional disorders, too much wear and tear, even a hereditary disposition – you can always be beautiful inside & out!”
Jada Pinkett – Smith Raises Awareness Of Hair Loss Condition
However, though Abby Lee Miller and Jada Pinkett Smith empathize with each other, the actress probably didn’t choose to raise awareness of her hair loss condition via an Oscars smack-down! But Jada did try to help others understand her battle with alopecia prior to the Oscars. For instance, when Pinkett Smith showed off her bald hair in December, she explained how it all began.
As a result of her autoimmune disorder causing bald spots and hair losses, the actress first felt terrified. “It was terrifying when it first started. I was in the shower one day and had just handfuls of hair in my hands and I was just like, ‘Oh my god, am I going bald?'” recalled Jada. But no podcasts, interviews, or social media posts could raise awareness like Will Smith slapping Chris Rock over his joke at the Oscars.
“Jada, I love ya. G.I. Jane 2, can’t wait to see ya,” said the 57-year-old comedian during his presentation. And viewers watched in shock as the 53-year-old actor hopped onto the stage, slapped him, and returned to his seat. But Will hadn’t finished yet. And in a verbal smack-down from his seat, Smith yelled, “Keep my wife’s name out your f—ing mouth!”
