Because comedians don’t have a medical chart for everyone in the audience.

Why would you phrase this as “a GI Jane joke?” instead of “a joke about a woman with alopecia”?

I know you are defending your buddy, and I’m not defending Will smacking him, but maybe understand they been through a lot together. Will apologized and said he was wrong. Hopefully Chris forgives him.

Sorry but Will Smith ASSAULTED Chris Rock. Period. And an apology doesn’t change that. It’s not just “oh he said he’s sorry so he should be forgiven”. It was ASSAULT by EVERY definition.

Nah, just Will Smith’s career not going to be the same again. And rightly so.

I had no idea she had any medical condition. Nor do I know about the medical conditions of MOST people….when Chris Rock made the joke I truly had no idea why Smith got so worked up. His wife has had super super short hair in the past - just assumed she had decided to do it again

Honestly I had no idea either. She’s had short hair for so long I just thought it was her style

Right! I didn't realize we had to all know the medical history of every celebrity. I had zero idea she had alopecia!

What’s the end result of the joke? everyone laughing at how she looks. I don’t find that funny. Comedians don’t have license to make fun of anyone they want. When you’re edgy like Chris, there’s gonna come a time someone don’t like it and smacks you. You can’t hide behind comedy

& the fact that she said she doesn’t care if people talk about her being bald…..
