Agree or not, it's not a premise. It's what actually happened.

"Dhar Mann, an entrepreneur and film producer, created the fifteen-minute short skit. The film, titled Movie Star SLAPS HOST AT AWARD SHOW, What Happens Is Shocking, opens with comedian Corey anad host of the event (played by Rishi Arya) joking about actor Elijah (played by Melvin Ward) losing weight. "

"As clips from the short film began to circulate on social media platforms such as TikTok, many netizens assumed Will Smith simply enacted the role of Elijah and in a classic life-imitates-art manner slapped Chris Rock in the face during this year's Academy Awards. This, however, is not the case. As previously stated, Dhar Mann's short video was released after the unfortunate moment on the award stage."
