Hiring people to kick your ass so you can make yourself into a fake victim, hoping to become impossible to fire from your job.
You better make sure you cover all your bases if you pull a Smollett, otherwise you'll get found out.

"4. Claiming to have experienced negative events that are highly implausible."

Smollett was a TV series 'Empire' actor who staged a false attack on himself, hiring 2 Nigerian brothers, he claimed to be Trump supporters, to hang a noose around his neck and pour gasoline on him for $3500, claiming it was a racist, homophobic attack. Police found out it was a staged attack, and arrested him for making a false report.
You can't be Smolletting yourself in a climate like this.

I hope you got rid of the evidence, otherwise you'll be Smolletted.

She didn't really loose her keys, she's just just Smolletting for the vine.
