Smith first opened up about her alopecia diagnosis on a 2018 episode of her family’s Facebook Watch show “Red Table Talk.” She said it was “terrifying” and that she discovered handfuls of her hair were falling out in the shower. “It was one of those times in my life where I was literally shaking in fear. That’s why I cut my hair, and why I continue to cut it,” she said.
In an Instagram video posted in December 2021, she revealed a completely shaved head, saying, “Me and this alopecia are going to be friends.”
