Thread: Manti Te'o's Dead Girlfriend Story a Hoax

Okay, this has the feel of a guy saying "I wouldn't sleep with her" when talking about Taylor Swift. The connection here is that EVERYONE would take him. If he were there in the 5th, we got a new starting linebacker

Lennay Kekua – Manti Te’o's Fake, Dead Girlfriend – Was Real, Says Arizona Cardinals Fullback Reagan Mauia, Who Claims to Have Met Her

Reagan Mauia, a fullback on the Arizona Cardinals, has added another layer to the impossible-to-believe Manti Te’o fake girlfriend/hoax story. He talked to ESPN:

“This was before her and Manti,” Mauia said Wednesday evening. “I don’t think Manti was even in the picture, but she and I became good friends. We would talk off and on, just checking up on each other kind of thing. I am close to her family. When she was going through the loss of her father, I was — I offered a comforting shoulder and just someone to bounce her emotions off. That was just from meeting her in Samoa.”

Mauia said Tuiasosopo — whom Mauia believes is Kekua’s cousin — introduced the two. After the initial meeting, Mauia said he met her at an “after-party” for all of the athletes involved in the camp.

“She was tall,” he said. “Volleyball-type of physique. She was athletic, tall, beautiful. Long hair. Polynesian. She looked like a model … ”

He said it is his understanding that Kekua’s mother is operating her Twitter account. He said he’d never met her mother. When told by a reporter that she apparently might not have existed, Mauia said “No, she is real.”

What.
The.
Hell.

So she’s real? Or was real? And died? How?

Notre Dame says Te’o was duped. Te’o said he’s been the subject of an elaborate hoax. Notre Dame AD Jack Swarbrick has put his reputation on the line and gone on TV to say Te’o was duped. Deadspin searched far and wide and found no mention of her, ever.

Which leaves us … who knows where.

And to think, people laughed at my eulogy on the previous page. Watch out for lightning bolts, scoffers...

Had Manti stuck to his guns and confirmed she was real, then yeah...perhaps it could all just be some odd story, for all we know maybe nobody could find her because her name wasnt spelled correctly or she has a different "real" name.

But no...he is claiming he was duped, which means that HE NEVER MET HER. (or made her up). If she WAS real and died, then you would think SOMEONE (family, friends) would step forward to voice their disgust at the media disrespecting her memory. But no...all we get is an NFL FB claiming that he once knew her...a long time ago. In a galaxy far far away.

Shit, watch the TV show:

Catfish: The TV Show | Full Episodes, Photos, Episode Synopsis and Recaps | MTV

This whole thing should be an episode (yeah i know MTV sucks donkey semen, but this show is pretty relevant in this day and age)

Is it a work or a shoot? Plausible deniability? At least shit ain't boring.
