I looked at the info page for Tradescantia and it mentioned several possibilities too much/little watering, minerals in water, pot size (rootbound or even too much space in the pot that could drown the plant because too much soil housing plant holds too much water for too long), or lighting. It might be as simple in a temporary fluctuation in meeting its water needs (if so just keep an eye on it while you resume watering as needed).  
You could look for bugs and check to make sure it’s not overwatered. And if you notice yucky smell in the soil you might need to repot it with new soil. But I don’t think that’s it Almost all of the leaves are healthy except those few. You could prune those away and watch plant for a while.  
Somebody said in an earlier post that what new changes you see in a plant are probably from something that happened a couple of weeks ago. That seems pretty true to me.
