LOS ANGELES: The 94th Oscars became a stage for something unprecedented when actor Will Smith slapped presenter Chris Rock. At first, everyone thought it was a prank, it became clear to everyone that the incident was rather serious as Will Smith shouted at the presented shortly after.

Will Smith was widely criticized on social media for not handling what should have been taken as a joke. But later many came to realize that Jada Smith's bald head isn't her style but is due to a condition known as alopecia.

Alopecia is a condition in which a person experiences massive hair loss. There is no proper cure for this disease. Jada Smith decided to get a haircut as a temporary relief from this. But Jada, who has not appeared in public for a long time since then, has only recently started attending events like the Oscars. This could be the reason why Will Smith was so quickly provoked by Chris Rock's joke.
