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."

She then addressed the incident between her husband and Rock.

"Now, about Oscar night, my deepest hope is that these two intelligent, capable men have an opportunity to heal, talk this out, and reconcile
