The actress and media mogul Jada Pinkett Smith last year opened up about her fling with August Alsina and the open relationship with her husband, rapper/actor/media mogul Will Smith.
Now she's opening up about her hair and why she wore turbans during The Red Table podcasts.
Voted one of the most watched television programs on Facebook Watch (Meta), Jada's Red Table Talks have brought a lot of attention of issues in the Black community. She along with her mother and daughter have sit-downs with people in the news, actors and even big Will drops in on occasions.
A thing that I might be dealing with is what Jada is facing.
It's called alopecia areata. It's basically sudden baldness. It's a autoimmune disease that causes hair loss.
The mogul, 50 shares on social media about her sudden hair loss. She shared a scar on the crown of her head and why she's no longer afraid to hide.
It affects 30% of Black women.
Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) shared her struggle with alopecia areata. She used to wear wigs and pullbacks on her hair. Now she's fully embracing her skin.
MSNBC host and progressive agitator Tiffany Cross also said that she dealt with alopecia areata.

.@HillaryClinton on 2024: "If I were a betting person right now, I say Trump is going to run again. ... I think that could be the end of our democracy. Not to be too pointed about it, but I want people to understand that this is a make-or-break point." pic.twitter.com/FWQxiZwo17
Remember Hillary Clinton endorsed Shontel Brown over Nina Turner in the country's most watched special primary race. The former Ohio senator took on the Cuyahoga County official in a bitterly fought race to replace Marcia Fudge. Brown won and became a U.S. Representative. Turner became a distraction and of course a bitter loser.
Clinton's endorsement riled up the leftists.
"Kiss of death" they chanted and the "corporate Dems" always want to take down progressives.
Well the Bernie Bros, brogressives, Bernistas or whatever the fuck they call themselves were defeated in not only Nina Turner's race, but India Walton's race, and the debate over passage of the bipartisan infrastructure bill that President Joe Biden signed.
While the "human infrastructure" part of the Build Back Better bill is being stalled by those two rotten white nationalist Democrats in the Senate and those 50 assholes in the Republican conference, Biden is forging ahead. Democrats feel that their agenda could be ruined if 2022 comes around and this "Let's Go Brandon" nonsense continues all the way towards November.
Clinton warns these lawmakers could hurt Democrats in the Midterms.
With the coronavirus slated to take over 1 million lives, the president is hoping to contain the spread of the delta and omicron variants of this virus. He is also trying to get a slimmer version of the Build Back Better plan so that Sen. Karen Manchin (D-WV) and Sen. Karen Sinema (D-AZ) are willing to back it.
He is also hoping to pass voter reforms in the wake of the Republicans push to keep voters away from the polls.
Biden is dealing with a slim House and a slim Senate.
Things can't get done even with a slim majority and that's the cause of the outrage for the leftists and those who support them.
Enter the Squad.
The former 2016 Democratic nominee and former Secretary of State is a former first lady, former U.S. Senator and pretty much a troll in her own right. She felt that misinformation from Washed Up 45 and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) cost her the election. Clinton believes that Washed Up 45 and Sanders are pushing the country to the brink.
On MSNBC, she directly told the Democrats to stop listening to the bullshit coming out of the mouths of the progressive members of the Squad.
Without mentioning their names, she said that the Democrats must choose careful thinking when it comes to these races.
"I think that it is a time for some careful thinking about what wins elections, and not just deep blue districts where a Democrat and a liberal Democrat or a so-called progressive Democrat is going to win," said Clinton. "We've got to be very 'clear eyed' about what it's going to take to hold the House and the Senate in 2022. And to win the electoral college because REpublicans are doing everything they can to create an environment in which the Electoral College, even narrowly the way Joe Biden did will be out of reach for Democrats."
Clinton warns that Sanders' "in your face" policies will hurt Democrats.
She understood the passion to get the things that progressives want in the few years Biden has a majority but said that the "in your face" politics and sloganing is damaging the Democrats.
"But at the end of the day, nothing is going to get done if you don't have a Democratic majority in the House, in the Senate, our majority comes from people who win in much more difficult districts and our majority in the Senate comes from people who can win in not just blue states and hold those wins .... but can in more in purpleish states," Clinton added. "But at the end of the day, it means nothing. If we don't have a Congress that will get things done and we don't have a White House that we can count on to be sane and sober and stable and productive. So this is going to be a very intense period, not just for the Democratic Party, but for the country."
Clinton said that party leadership is afraid to slap down. It's a delicate tightrope to get Manchin on board. He comes from West Virginia, a state that voted for Washed Up 45 by 45 points.
I remembered what Rep. Shontel Brown (D-OH) said about running for office. She said that she wants to be a legislator that wants to get things done, work with the opposition in finding common ground, not waste time on television and radio throwing out "pie in the sky" policies and be more of a lawmaker doing the work than an activist doing soundbites.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) and Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) are distractions.
They are the soundbites that Republicans need to win back Congress. The more we hear from the them, the more likely Republicans are willing to tag them as the key to winning back Congress.
What's more important to Republicans other than culture wars?
Democrats who don't shut the fuck up.
The Squad is the element of the Republican Party's path to victory.

The British socialite is now a registered sex offender. She was convicted Wednesday of luring teenage girls to be sexually abused by the American millionaire sexual monster.
The verdict capped a monthlong trial featuring sordid accounts of the sexual exploitation of girls as young as 14, told by four women who described being abused as teens in the 1990s and early 2000s at the monster’s palatial homes in Florida, New York and New Mexico.
Jurors deliberated for five full days before finding the predator guilty of five of six counts. As the verdict was read, The predator was largely stoic behind a black mask. She stood with her hands folded as the jury filed out, and glanced at her siblings — who faithfully attended each day of the trial — as she herself was led from the courtroom. She did not hug her lawyers on the way out, a marked change from previous days during which the predator and her team were often physically affectionate with one another.
She faces the likelihood of years in prison — an outcome long sought by women who spent years fighting in civil courts to hold The predator accountable for her role in recruiting and grooming the monster’s teenage victims and sometimes joining in the sexual abuse.
This monster killed himself while in custody.
The predator was convicted of conspiracy to entice a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, conspiracy to transport a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, transporting a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of minors and sex trafficking of minors, the last of which carries a statutory maximum of 40 years in prison.
She was acquitted of enticing a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts.
The defense had insisted the predator was a victim of a vindictive prosecution devised to deliver justice to women deprived of their main villain when the monster killed himself while awaiting trial in 2019.
During the trial, prosecutors called 24 witnesses to give jurors a picture of life inside the monster’s homes — a subject of public fascination and speculation ever since his 2006 arrest in Florida in a child sex case.
A housekeeper testified he was expected to be “blind, deaf and dumb” about the private lives of that monster, a financier who cultivated friendships with influential politicians and business tycoons, and the predator, who had led a jet-setting lifestyle as the favorite child of a media mogul.
Pilots took the witness stand and dropped the names of luminaries — Britain’s Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, Washed Up 45 — who flew on that monster’s private jets.
Jurors saw physical evidence like a folding massage table once used by the monster and a “black book” that listed contact information for some of the victims under the heading “massages.”
There were bank records showing he had transferred $30.7 million to the predator, his longtime companion — onetime girlfriend, later employee.
But the core of the prosecution was the testimony of four women who said they were victimized by the predator and the monster at tender ages.
Three testified using first names or pseudonyms to protect their privacy: Jane, a television actress; Kate, a former model from Great Britain; and Carolyn, now a mom recovering from drug addiction. The fourth was Annie Farmer, a psychologist who chose to use her real name after being vocal about her allegations in recent years.
They echoed one another in their descriptions of the predator’s behavior: She used charm and gifts to gain their trust, taking an interest in their adolescent challenges and giving them assurances that the monster could use his wealth and connections to fulfill their dreams.
They said the script would darken when the predator coaxed them into giving massages to the monster that turned sexual, encounters she played off as normal: After one sexual massage, Kate, then 17, said the predator asked her if she’d had fun and told her: “You are such a good girl.”
Carolyn testified that she was one of several underprivileged teens who lived near the monster’s Florida home in the early 2000s and took up an offer to give massages in exchange for $100 bills, which prosecutors described as “a pyramid of abuse.”
She felt the U.S. sting.
The predator made all the arrangements, Carolyn told the jury, even though she knew the girl was only 14 at the time.
Jane said in 1994, when she was only 14, she was instructed to follow the monster into a pool house at his Palm Beach estate, where he masturbated on her.
The lone count on which the predator was acquitted applied only to Jane.
“I was frozen in fear,” she told the jury, adding that assault was the first time she had ever seen a penis. She also directly accused the predator of participating in her abuse.
The predator’s lawyer asked Jane why it had taken so long to come forward.
“I was scared,” she said, choking back tears. “I was embarrassed, ashamed. I didn’t want anybody to know any of this about me.”
These two monsters won't hurt anybody anymore.
The last to testify, Farmer described how the predator touched her breasts while giving her a massage at the monster’s New Mexico ranch and how the monster unexpectedly crawled into bed and pressed himself against her.
The predator, 60, vehemently denied the charges through her lawyers.
Still, she declined to take the risk of testifying, telling the judge: “The government has not proven its case beyond a reasonable doubt so there is no reason for me to testify.”
“The charges against Ghislaine Maxwell are for things that Jeffrey Epstein did,” one of the predator’s lawyers, Bobbi Sternheim, emphasized to the jury. “But she is not Jeffrey Epstein and she is not like Jeffrey Epstein.”
The predator’s legal team questioned whether the accusers’ memories were faulty, or had been influenced by lawyers seeking big payouts from the predator and from the monster’s estate in civil court.
During their two-day presentation, they called as a witness Elizabeth Loftus, a University of California Irvine professor who has testified as a memory expert for defense lawyers at about 300 trials, including the rape trial of that disgraced media mogul.
She said memory can be contaminated by suggestions made by an interviewer, particularly law enforcement or the media.
The predator’s family — faithfully in attendance each day of the trial — complained she was under duress from harsh conditions at the Brooklyn jail where she’s been held since her arrest in July 2020. She had repeatedly, and futilely, sought bail, arguing that she was unable to adequately contribute to her defense.
The legal fights involving that monster and the predator are not over.
The predator still awaits trial on two counts of perjury.
Lawsuits involving the abuse allegations also continue, including one in which a woman not involved in the trial, Virginia Giuffre, says she was coerced into sexual encounters with Prince Andrew when she was 17. Andrew has denied her account and that lawsuit is not expected to come to trial for many months.

The former guy had pushed this claim that he's done more for Black America than any other president in history. Yeah, after all, we probably lost over 350,000 Black Americans to the coronavirus. We have lost over 1.4 million Black Americans to gun violence. Racism is now present and accounted for in this country and Washed Up 45 is credited for spreading it. Siding with the Kenosha shooter, actively telling the Squad to "Go Back to....," questioning Barack Obama's birthplace, attacking Kamala Harris, and inspiring a mob of white privilege to storm the U.S. Capitol are his accomplishments to Black America. Yeah, he may have a few Black tokens in the bag. Two House members and one Senator rock with white supremacy. But for all the crap, Washed Up 45 will be memorable as the most polarizing president in history. Black America won't be kind to the former guy.
Rapper and media mogul Ice Cube found his "Platinum Plan" to be in the toilet along with much of his credibility. It was revealed that Mr. O'Shea Jackson, Sr. was behind the scenes working with the Washed Up 45 Administration in trying to court Black voters. He talked to Ivanka and Jared about how to win over Black voters.
People still go see Ice Cube movies and still buy his albums. After all, he is a hard-working, dedicated, pro-foundational Black American. He still has a moment or two to share the good qualities that I admire about him.
In regards to him filming his final Friday movie, the entertainer revealed why Chris Tucker never got on board with the sequels.
Friday is an iconic stoner movie.
Tucker allegedly didn't want to be in the sequel because of money. He would end up signing to Rush Hour which became a successful franchise.
Tucker turned down a spot on Next Friday because of money. Co-signing on the rumor was actor/comedian/troll Faizon Love.
Faizon played Big Worm and said that he only made $2,500 from the film and said he felt robbed by Cube and F. Gary Gary.
Cube hit back.
I didn’t rob no fuckin body. The 1995 Friday movie cost $2.3m to make. Shot it in 20 days. Fazion worked 1 day, maybe 2. All the actors got paid scale to do the movie. They could’ve simple said “No” but they didn’t. So miss me with that shit… https://t.co/2K1dUFZ489
We were ready to pay Chris Tucker $10-12m to do Next Friday but he turned us down for religious reasons. He didn’t want to cuss or smoke weed on camera anymore. https://t.co/1pfo1FHWzp
"I didn't rob no fuckin body," Cube said on social media. "The 1995 Friday movie cost $2.3m to make. Shot it in 20 days. Fazion (sic) worked 1 day, maybe 2. All the actors got paid scale to do the movie. They could've simple said 'NO' but they didn't. So miss me with that shit."
Cube said that Tucker left the deal because he didn't want to smoke weed or cuss anymore. He said it was because of religious reasons.
Tucker hasn't responded to the claims nor is planning on bringing back his iconic character Smokey to the Friday franchise. It's rumored that he will be in the final installment.
The Friday movie starred Ice Cube, John Witherspoon, Anna Marie Horsford, Chris Tucker, Tommy "Tiny" Lister, Jr., Faizon Love, A.J. Johnson, DJ Pooh, Regina King, Paula Jai Parker, Bernie Mac and Nia Long.
When Tucker opted out the movie, they replaced him with Mike Epps.
Bernie Mac, Tommy "Tiny" Lister, Jr. (Zeus), A.J. Johnson and John Witherspoon have passed away.
Harry Reid, the former Democratic senate leader passed away.

A son of Searchlight, Nevada, Harry never forgot his humble roots. A boxer, he never gave up a fight. A great American, he looked at challenges and believed it was within our capacity to do good — to do right.
May God bless Harry Reid, a dear friend and a giant of our history.
When Harry Reid was nearing the end, his wife Landra asked some of us to share letters that she could read to him. In lieu of a statement, here’s what I wrote to my friend: pic.twitter.com/o6Ll6rzpAX
Our country has lost an honorable public servant. Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid always fought for working families and the poor. Leader Reid was kind, generous, and always to the point. Landra and the entire Reid family are in our thoughts. pic.twitter.com/9dE1FY7p9i
The former Senate Majority and later Minority Leader, Harry Reid has passed away.
President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Obstructionist Leader Karen McConnell (R-KY) and the members of the Senate were notified of his passing.
The former Nevada senator fought pancreatic cancer for four years before succumbing to it.
"I am heartbroken to announce the passing of my husband, former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid," said Landra Gould Reid, the late senator's wife.
"He died peacefully this afternoon, surrounded by our family, following a courageous, four-year battle with pancreatic cancer. Harry was 82 years old. We were married for 62 years."
Reid spent over 30 years as the senator from the state of Nevada. He served as Senate Majority Leader from 2017 until 2015. He had some time as the Senate Minority Leader when the Democrats lost control of the Senate.
Former president Barack Obama also led in the tributes to one of the hardest fighters for democracy.
As vice president, Joe Biden relied on Harry Reid to get the Democrats to pass Obama's agenda.
"You were a great leader in the Senate, and early on you were generous to me than I had any right to expect," Obama wrote on social media. "I wouldn't have been president had it not been for your encouragement and support and I wouldn't have got most of what I got done without your skill and determination."
The Senate leaders Schumer and McConnell reacted to the passing of their longtime friend.
Reid had a started as a member of the Nevada Assembly before becoming the 25th Lieutenant Governor of the state of Nevada and later a chair of the Nevada Gaming Commission. He was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1982 and served as a member for two terms.
He was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1986 and served the senate for 30 years. He had to retire after a fall injured his eye and left him partially blind. He also remained a valued voice to Obama and Biden until his final days.
Reid grew up in Searchlight, Nevada. He had a stint as an amateur boxer before entering politics.
The city of Las Vegas dedicated their airport after him. The Harry Reid Las Vegas International Airport is located in boomburg neighborhood of Paradise.

Secrets from the tomb.
Civil War artifacts discovered in the former statue of the Confederate general Robert E. Lee.
The controversial statue was removed from Monument Row in Richmond, Virginia.
Historians unearth a time capsule of relics from the white nationalist who surrendered to the Union Army in 1865.
Items inside included an 1865 edition of Harper's Weekly magazine with an clear image of a figure weeping over Abraham Lincoln's grave; a Bible with a coin stuck to it; and a Richmond directory.
Also found were more newspapers, books, coins, and letters. A minié ball, a type of bullet commonly used in the American Civil War, was also discovered.
Conservators from the Virginia Department of Historic Resources (DHR) carefully opened the box and worked with caution. Water was found inside the box and its items had expanded, making it difficult for them to be removed.
Kate Ridgeway, Virginia's Archaeological Conservator and who led the box's opening, said the artifact was a "little more wet than we had hoped for."
Crews now will continue to work on preserving and researching the items that were found inside the capsule over the next couple of days and weeks.
Legendary coach and broadcaster John Madden passed away.

The iconic coach and sports commentator John Madden passed away at the age of 85.
When I was growing up watching football, you've heard the voice of John Madden. He is the Hall of Fame coach who turned broadcaster whose exuberant calls and simple talk on how the game was played became a staple of NFL.
He did the broadcasting gig for over 30 years.
Madden is considered a legend among the NFL.
On Tuesday, his family confirmed he passed away unexpectedly.
Madden gained fame in a decade-long stint as the coach of the Oakland (now Las Vegas) Raiders.
Under his coaching, Madden gave seven AFC titles games and a Super Bowl win in 1976. He complied a 103-32-7 regular season record, and his .759 winning percentage is the best among NFL coaches with more than 100 games according to ESPN.
"On behalf of the entire NFL family, we extend our condolences to Virginia, Mike, Joe and their families," said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. "We all know him as the Hall of Fame coach of the Oakland Raiders and broadcaster who worked for every major network, but more than anything, he was a devoted husband, father and grandfather.
"Nobody loved football more than Coach. He was football. He was an incredible sounding board to me and so many others. There will never be another John Madden, and we will forever be indebted to him for all he did to make football and the NFL what it is today."
In 10 seasons coaching the Raiders, the team had no losing seasons and he led Oakland to the playoffs eight times. In January 1977, the team won Super Bowl XI, beating the Minnesota Vikings 32-14 under Madden's guidance.
He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2006.
Madden provided commentary for NFL games for more than 20 seasons for FOX, CBS, ABC and NBC. He won 16 Emmys as Outstanding Sports Personality/Sport Event Analyst.
His name is attached to one of the best-selling sports video game series -- Madden NFL -- which began in 1988 as John Madden Football. His name is licensed through EA Sports and Gaming.

Potential 2024 contenders for the Republican presidential nomination are demanding that President Joe Biden end the vaccine and mask mandates.
Karens in the Wild.
Florida governor and South Dakota governor says the president failed and it's time to let Americans go back to normal despite the coronavirus pandemic still spreading and thousands of people getting sick from the omicron and delta variants.
Mind you they used to be in Congress before they got elected to be governors.
They were there when Washed Up 45 and Barack Obama were in office. Now in the governor's mansion, Karen DeSantis and Karen Noem are two of the most polarizing Republican governors in the country.
They like Washed Up 45 refuse to take action and they're obstructing the federal government from trying to slow this pandemic down. Over 850,000 Americans have died from the coronavirus.
Biden admits that there's no federal solution to solve this. I mean he's been blocked by the federal courts and state governors who sued the administration for even implicating mandates.
So I believe in my honest opinion, they are trying to sabotage the president's efforts.
The president got on the line with some of these Republican governors. Republican governors in Massachusetts, Ohio, Vermont, Arkansas,West Virginia and Maryland's governors are taking this shit seriously. Republican governors in Arizona, Florida, Indiana, Texas, South Dakota, Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, North Dakota, Idaho, Alaska, Northern Mariana Islands, Nebraska, Iowa, Montana, Wyoming, Tennessee and Georgia are either downplaying the pandemic or spreading misinformation and obstructing federal action.
If only Americans got vaccinated, we would have been back to normal by July. Alas, they wanna fuck around and now they're going to find out.
Of course, there's folks who are fully vaccinated but end up getting the coronavirus. As with vaccines, nothing is 100%. The vaccines are capable of preventing the coronavirus. At best, it's a 94% prevention rate which means 1 out of 500 could be infected even if they're vaccinated.
DeSantis continues this farce of being a "tough on whatever" mantra.
President Joe Biden had hopes that Americans would take this shit seriously. Unfortunately, Republicans so fucking eager to return to power will keep Americans fixated on the culture wars. Now vaccinations are part of this culture war.
But those fighting the culture war by not vaccinating, not wearing face mask in public, not following protocols, and deliberately ignoring federal and international rules when traveling are going to be the first casualties of the war.
With this pandemic mostly affecting states where Republican governors are, we may have to return to wearing facial protection and cutting back services to reduce the spread of the coronavirus.
We came so far only to have a bunch of selfish idiots set it back. Just because they hate President Joe Biden.
The Republicans are so devoted to destroying Biden and the country for what....to regain power.
Pathetic.
The coronavirus doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, politics, economic or social standings. It doesn't care about your business, your performances, your personal finances and travel. It doesn't care about the funerals, the birthday parties, the weddings, the vacations, the events and your graduations. It doesn't care about anything. It's a living organism that causes mild symptoms that include: fever, sore throats, chills, respiratory issues, loss of taste or smell and other unknown symptoms. If you have a weak immune system or health issues, your risk increases.
Death does happen to at least 40% of those who are affected by COVID-19.
If you're not vaccinated, your chances of death increases to 48%.
Healthy people can die from this. Take this seriously. You only have one life!
