Jada Pinkett Smith Claims 2Pac Also Suffered From Alopecia

by

During a recent interview with PEOPLE, Jada Pinkett Smith reflected on her relationship with the late Tupac Shakur. According to the actress and talk show host, the two of them had plenty of things in common, including alopecia. She revealed that his condition was even more severe than her own, and began after a violent encounter with police.

The performer was arrested for jaywalking near the Oakland Police Department in California when things went south. The encounter led him to sue the department, and the case was later settled. “I don’t think Tupac ever talked about the alopecia he suffered from,” she described. “After he was in Northern California with the police officers that beat him up, he started losing his hair. And his alopecia patterns were far more extreme than mine.”

“I don’t think Pac ever talked about his alopecia, but he also looked really good with a bald head,” Smith adds. “But that was during a time and during an era that you wouldn’t — he just wouldn’t talk about it.” Smith has been an advocate for those suffering from alopecia since she went public with her condition in 2018. She believes that 2Pac would do the same if he had gotten the chance.

“I’m sure if [Shakur] were alive today, he would,” she shared. “I’m glad that I’ve had the opportunity and we’ll continue to have the opportunity to talk about how alopecia affects me,” Smith explains. “And I’m just hoping that it’ll give people the freedom to talk about how and just not have shame around it and not to have such a stigma. And there’s a lot of shame around alopecia.” What do you think of Jada Pinkett Smith revealing that 2Pac had alopecia too?

Tory Lanez’ Hair Loss Doctor Writes Letter To Judge, Claims He Helped “Countless” People

by

Recently, a letter written to the judge by Tory Lanez’ hair loss doctor hit the internet. The letter has gotten social media users talking. While those in support of Lanez feel as though the doctor made some good points, most are just clowning Lanez. Either way, it’s clear that he was pulling out all the stops to try to lighten his sentence. In the letter, Craig L. Ziering claims that he first met Lanez in 2018, when they had a consultation about the artist’s hair loss. He goes on to claim that the two of them developed a close bond over the course of their relationship.

Ziering then says that Lanez has helped “countless numbers of people suffering from hair loss” by sharing his personal battle on social media. According to Ziering, Lanez “has had a particular focus on the African American community and the medical issues that are particularly troubling to them.” “It is clear,” he says, “that this community has not had all the access and information that it needs and deserves.”

The doctor went on to claim that he and Lanez have plans to open “outreach clinics and pharmacies in underserved communities,” in order to provide access to affordable healthcare. Ziering asked the judge for leniency in Lanez’ sentencing, claiming to be “sure” that the artist “will never put himself” in a similar situation again. Lanez finally received his sentence earlier this week. He was sentenced to 10 years, including time served.

The sentencing has sparked a major debate surrounding whether or not Lanez is innocent, and if his sentence his fair. Amid the sentencing, various letters written for the judge’s consideration have surfaced. Letters from Iggy Azalea, Mario, and more have led to some controversy. Lanez has maintained his innocence throughout, however. He released a statement yesterday in which he claims he’s in no way apologizing for what he was convicted of.
