Another thing... Was the family in on it too? I mean they were dating from 09-12. She was in a serious car accident, and she came down with leukemia (this is all fake, obviously). How did they not meet her? Did he basically tell them to go along with it?

LOL - heartwarming Manti Teo girlfriend dying story was a hoax
- Thread starter Michchamp
- Start date
This week, we got in touch with a woman living in Torrance, Calif. We'll call her Reba, to protect her identity. She was initially confused, then horrified to find that she had become the face of a dead woman. "That picture," she told us over the phone, "is a picture of me from my Facebook account."
Teo is REALLY lucky she is not a sports fan. They ran her picture on CBS News, and on ESPN several times. How did she not see the picture, and say, "Um, WTF, that's me, I'm not dead, and that's not my name?"

Unreal, what a piece of shit. The school is lying for him still too, trying to play like he;s a victim.
"As of this writing, Te'o's Twitter profile carries a quotation from Alexandre Dumas's The Count of Monte Cristo, the great adventure novel about a man in disguise.
Life is a storm.. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes."

I wonder how old that is. It could be applied to the NC game debacle too.

Te'o issued a statement Tuesday afternoon:
"This is incredibly embarrassing to talk about, but over an extended period of time, I developed an emotional relationship with a woman I met online. We maintained what I thought to be an authentic relationship by communicating frequently online and on the phone, and I grew to care deeply about her. "To realize that I was the victim of what was apparently someone's sick joke and constant lies was, and is, painful and humiliating. "It further pains me that the grief I felt and the sympathies expressed to me at the time of my grandmother's death in September were in any way deepened by what I believed to be another significant loss in my life. "I am enormously grateful for the support of my family, friends and Notre Dame fans throughout this year. To think that I shared with them my happiness about my relationship and details that I thought to be true about her just makes me sick. I hope that people can understand how trying and confusing this whole experience has been. "In retrospect, I obviously should have been much more cautious. If anything good comes of this, I hope it is that others will be far more guarded when they engage with people online than I was. "Fortunately, I have many wonderful things in my life, and I'm looking forward to putting this painful experience behind me as I focus on preparing for the NFL Draft."
They never even met?!?!?! He's crying all over the TV over a girl he never even met????
Something stinks bad in S Bend

Yeah.
T'eo, a stud football player on a campus that worships football, had to resort to an online, long distance relationship.

His dad reportedly said she visited Hawaii several times when Teo was home. Just gets more weird the further it goes.

Ronaiah Tuiasosopo apparently
"We spoke with friends and relatives of Ronaiah Tuiasosopo who asserted that Ronaiah was the man behind Lennay. He created Lennay in 2008, one source said, and Te'o wasn't the first person to have an online 'relationship' with her. One mark ? who had been 'introduced' to Lennay by Tuiasosopo ? lasted about a month before family members grew suspicious that Lennay could never be found on the telephone, and that wherever one expected Lennay to be, Ronaiah was there instead. Two sources discounted Ronaiah's stunt as a prank that only metastasized because of Te'o's rise to national celebrity this past season."
Yeah... And those two fell asleep on the phone together lol.
ESPN's Gene Wojciehowski said about a second ago, "We could not find any record of the car accident."
UM, WHY DID YOU STOP THERE??? SHOULDN'T THAT HAVE BEEN AN ALARM?
Head, spinning... ughhhhh lol
