And tbh if you look at Chris reaction it would lean more on the side of him not knowing because he did seem really confused about why Will got so angry
As a side note, Jada looked gorgeous with shaved head, it would never have occurred to me that she shaved because of a condition, I would have just thought it was a style choice

The thing is Niamh ,yes Chris Rock might not have known about Jada's condition ..but at the same time the joke was a silly one. And even if it was a style choice ( which plenty do just decide to shave their hair) why did he feel the need to comment on her hair.
But Will Smith should never have lashed out in violence. He could have just used his words back. Be smart & not used his hands. He could have just said he didn't find the joke funny,and mentioned Jada's condition. Then I think Rock would have felt bad & maybe even apologised,who knows.
Chris Rock is fortunate it wasn't cancer & chemotherapy
Jada was going through. Thankfully alopecia isn't life threatening,but people will still be conscious and it's still a sensitive personal thing.
