Here's one actress's take on alopecia -- after having dealt with it for years now -- and just how offensive Chris Rock's joke about Jada actually was.

Swedish-born actress-- who first started losing her hair to alopecia in 2013 -- dished her thoughts about the awkward Oscars moment to

... and she makes it clear, the 'G.I. Jane' dig wasn't nearly as big a deal in her eyes as it apparently was for Jada.JO says as she watched back clips of the exchange after the fact, she was waiting for the hurtful part to come about -- but for her, it never really did. Jannica adds,"I didn’t see what was offensive about it ... And I’m very aware we all have different experiences, and we’re all in different places. To me, personally, that ... joke was not offensive. I think that’s cool."in the '90s -- is portrayed as a tough-as-nails badass, and a symbol of female empowerment ... and that to her, she would've taken Rock's joke as praise rather than a mean-spirited barb.

Jannica says,"I would have loved to have that said to me. But that’s me, right? I can’t speak for anyone else."While Jannica acknowledges alopecia might affect people differently -- including Jada and by default,too -- she says he still should've restrained himself ... even if he was pissed off. She says,"We're all human. We're all going to get triggered by things. But you have to be an adult and sit with something and maybe not react that way, no matter what.

This has been a raging debate since the beginning -- namely, was Will's reaction simply a result of the hair crack itself, or was it deeper. Most seem to agree ... there might've been a lot of factors going into the smack, but that perhaps the bald joke was the last straw.

I wanna see a red table talk with her, will n rock, live, unedited. Will needs to go up to him and face to face apologize.

Wanna-be actress makes desperate plea for relevance. There, fixed your headline

It was a joke about GI Jane. Will laughed and Jada laughed after Chris was slapped so no sympathy 4 them

Get a wig if you don’t want the world to see your presence other people go bald from chemotherapy it’s true

Just move on with this. More important shit.

Look like ⭐ track

Then don’t go to the show.

It was a joke. Calm down.

Here's how offensive it was, IT WASN'T, now moving on.

🙄

Jannica Olin has maybe a half dozen IMDB entries—and she either wore a wig or still had hair in all but one.

Genevieve

Who Someone wants to get noticed and attention.

Hasn’t it been confirmed already that ChrisRock DID NOT know about the alopecia?!

🤦🏻‍♂️

Incoming offender tribe

He didn't know she had a disease. And he never joked about it. Find another story

What if he didn't know she had it

STFU about it already! Christ!

What if every bald man started acting like their baldness was a disability?

Men go bald all the time. Welcome to the party.

People need to grow up.

Imagine if Chris Rock would have the same alopecia “joke” to a white woman then Chris would be canceled. Everything is minimized when it insults black women

Does. not. Matter. NOT ok to HIT someone in the face!!!

So bald jokes fir dudes or ok?

Awww women can’t handle being bald? You don’t want equal everything just some shit right?

Sticks and stones FFS !!

gtfoh cause not yo mama, yo daddy, or yo bald head granny off the comedian joke table period

Grow Up Women 🤯 alopecia is not CANCER 🤦🏻‍♀️ Little children have grown up with alopecia and bald heads. They have fun with being bald. I have alopecia too never once whined about it🤦🏻‍♀️ my artistic friends paint 🎨 my Head for holidays 😍

Unfollowed and blocked!

Blame Disney & DNC

Move on

That shit was last month. NOBODY GIVES A FUCK ANYMORE. Let it Goooo.

Get over GI Jane.

Oh please 🙄

I just know I’m not going to tell a marginal group of people, that I’m not a part of, what is and isn’t offensive to them.

Another take we don't give a bleep about.

We don’t know the truth here. Either Chris Rock didn’t know of Jadas condition or he did. Until he speaks about the incident we won’t know the truth. And he’s a comedian. That’s his job!!

CHRIS ROCK DID NOT KNOW SHE HAD ALOPECIA, IT WAS A DEMI MOORE JOKE WHO LOOKED BEAUTIFUL WITH A SHAVED HEAD, AS DID JADA AND WILLOW. STOP BEING A VICTIM, IT COULD BE A LOT WORSE

Men have been dealing with alopecia for years and women have been making jokes about it. Shut up Jada and take it like a man!

Except it wasn't an alopecia joke....

Not again

Wear a wig

How offensive it was is subjective.

Man.. People are still on this..?

alooecia is just balding 🤦‍♂️ y’all act like it’s sum cancer 🤦‍♂️
