The comedian cracked a joke about Will Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. Jada had her head shaved because she has been struggling with alopecia, an autoimmune disorder that leads to hair loss. So while presenting the award, Rock said, “Jada, I love you, ‘G.I. Jane 2,’ can’t wait to see it.” He even added, “That was a nice one.” The joke did not go well with the crowd.
