Is the first lady bald? ‘Jeopardy!’ appearance ignites social media

WASHINGTON — The first lady made an appearance on a “Jeopardy!” episode that aired Tuesday, but it was her appearance that drew social media attention, as people asked, “Is Michelle Obama bald?”

Obama was on the game show delivering video “answers” about healthy cooking — one of the pillars of her “Let’s Move!” campaign that works to end childhood obesity. However, her message didn’t receive as much attention as her hair.

The camera appeared to show a hairless FLOTUS.

People on social media shared their observations about her hairdo. Many speculated that it was an optical illusion from the camera and lighting, while others couldn’t deny that the FLOTUS looked bald.
