OT: Manti Te'o dead GF story a hoax?

  • psuproud said...

    ND statement:

    On Dec. 26, Notre Dame coaches were informed by Manti Te’o and his parents that Manti had been the victim of what appears to be a hoax in which someone using the fictitious name Lennay Kekua apparently ingratiated herself with Manti and then conspired with others to lead him to believe she had tragically died of leukemia. The University immediately initiated an investigation to assist Manti and his family in discovering the motive for and nature of this hoax. While the proper authorities will continue to investigate this troubling matter, this appears to be, at a minimum, a sad and very cruel deception to entertain its perpetrators.

    Wtf!!?? So he supposedly met her at the Stanford game, she supposedly went to Hawaii to see him when he would be home. But he had no idea this was a hoax? Huh!!!!

    Wonder who he met following the Stanford game and talked to on the phone over those few months

    Few years supposedly.

    He went with the sob story and even if he was hoaxed (highly doubtful) then obviously he and that girl werent really even a "couple."

  • Either ND/Manti think were a bunch of idiots...or Manti was enough of an idiot not to realize he was being pranked for several years...

  • how did he not ever see her face to face is my question? in this day and age and technology it would be impossible to be in a relationship and not even see the other person for 3-4 years

    i am sure those people on that Catfish show are stupid and stuff but this is a college kid and a supposedly stanford alum (which is where all the tech innovators come from) and they dont know how to use facebook video chat or gmail video chat or skype?

    Does this mean that they filed a police report? If so where is it?

    According to the deadspin article they did meet face to face. I believe Mante even said they had spent time together.

    There's no way he could be an innocent victim of a hoax. He stated that he spent time with this woman. At his most innocent, he lied about meeting "her" and was carrying on a relationship with a woman (man) via internet exclusively, and had never actually met "her" in real life.

    Come to think about it, that's far worse. I'd respect him more if he was just some fame-whore. But if you're a star football player at a major university there's absolutely zero justification for using the internet for meeting chicks...who you never meet...and then falling in love with them.
