Jada Pinkett Smith hopes Will Smith and Chris Rock 'have an opportunity to heal, talk this out, and reconcile'

(CNN)Jada Pinkett Smith briefly addressed the Oscars slap incident on Wednesday's episode of "Red Table Talk." Pinkett Smith's husband, Will Smith, took to the stage at the Academy Awards in March and slapped presenter Chris Rock after he made a joke about Pinkett Smith's close-cropped haircut. The actress suffers from alopecia, which causes hair loss.

On Her Facebook Watch show, Pinkett Smith had as a guest the mother of 12-year-old Rio Allred, who died by suicide after being bullied for having alopecia. "This is a really important 'Red Table Talk' on alopecia. Considering what I've been through and what happened at the Oscars, thousands have reached out to me with their stories," Pinkett Smith said during the show. "I'm using this moment to give our alopecia family an opportunity to talk about what it's like to have this condition and to inform people about what alopecia actually is."

"Now, about Oscar night, my deepest hope is that these two intelligent, capable men have an opportunity to heal, talk this out, and reconcile. The state of the world today, we need 'em both, and we all actually need one another more than ever," she said. "Until then, Will and I are continuing to do what we have done for the last 28 years, and that's keep figuring out this thing called life together. Thank you for listening."

Her husband publicly apologized to Rock and the the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences in a statement after the incident. The Academy banned Smith from attending the Oscars for a decade as punishment.
