The Facebook Watch app is available for free on mobile apps on Apple and Android, on desktop, laptop, all Portal devices and on numerous TV apps.
Willow Smith talked about shaving her head ‘Red Table Talk’
The upcoming Red Table Talk Season 4 premiere is not the first time the series covered hair. As Showbiz Cheat Sheet previously reported, Will Smith tried to discourage Willow from shaving her head at nine.
“He told me he didn’t want me to cut my hair,” Willow said during a previous Red Table Talk. “‘Don’t cut your hair, all your femininity.'” She recalls Will saying, “as if all my femininity was in my hair.”
During the episode, Jada defended her husband, believing that he was trying to protect her.
“It’s his little girl,” Jada recalls. Will thought he wanted “you to stay a little girl as long as I can.”
At the time, Willow revealed that she shaved her head to push back against her father’s wishes for her to continue touring. She explained that Will pushed her too far. Willow shaved her head to defy her hit-single “Whip My Hair.”
When Red Table Talk returns to Facebook Watch, viewers discover why Jada chose to shave her head.
