Jada Pinkett Smith Has the Ultimate Answer to Being Shamed for Willow Smith’s Shaved Head

“Looking at how my children were being affected, that’s what count,” she said. “When people are like, ‘Oh my god, I can’t believe you shaved Willow’s head!’ If they coulda seen this child’s expression of freedom looking at her hair falling to the ground, so me as a mom looking at that, experiencing that with her—there is nothing that anyone could say to me to tell me that it was wrong.”

“Not one person,” the actress continued, “because I was there, I was looking at her, I saw her face, I knew the journey that she and I took together to get to that point, and so, it didn’t really matter what anybody said.”
