This whole incident was an aftermath of the Oscars when Chris Rock joked about
Jada Smith’s bald head which was a result of Alopecia. He pointed out that she
looked like a character from G.I. Jane character. Neither Will nor Jada took it
a while, but the harsh reaction sure cost the I am Legend actor big time

this tiff seems to be far from over.
