Naya said the director told her not to tell Cory about the slap, so his reaction was real in this scene. so yes, the slap are real, and so are the slap in 4:58😂
The slap was real... the story behind the slap is still amazing~ Cory’s mom, in her tribute to Naya, said that one of Cory’s favorite stories to tell people was the story behind this slap. So sad that they both had so much talent and potential yet left this earth too soon. At least now they have each other and they’re probably catching up with each other up in heaven
Earlier in this episode: Finn outed Santana in the hallway that’s how the guy got the info for his ad The director actually told Naya to really slap Cory
Most people will never know what it feels like when you are outed. I was 15 and someone overheard a conversation between me and my friend about crushes. My crush was on a girl. He told everyone. Naya didn't and could never understand the impact her character had. Rest in peace.
Fun Fact:she really did slap him that hard. the producers told her to do it to catch him off guard. nobody knew she was really going to slap it at all. all there reactions were real
In the behind the scenes of this episode naya and cory both admitted that the slap was real. The director told naya to give him a real slap and he had no idea so his reaction is real
