Glanvilles Grits 142 Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) *sigh* Manti Te'o briefly lied to the media and the public after discovering his online girlfriend did not exist and was a part of an elaborate hoax, he admitted in an exclusive interview with ABC News' Katie Couric. Has anyone stopped to think about the fact that Te'o had this "exclusive interview" just a day after his parents hired Katie Courics long time PR Manager?

BucD+ 648 Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) Actual voicemails From Lennay Kekua EDIT: Welp, looks like they took that shit down. Wasn't up for very long. lol Edited January 24, 2013 by BucD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted January 24, 2013 PAGE NOT FOUND. Heard though that Katie got the voicemails and even phone records of Manti Te'o. Gonna have to watch it but slightly more believable. Also..> Still feels like a gay love story. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted January 24, 2013 One of the comments on on that page... He showed a receipt that he had from 1-800 flowers for the bouquet he sent to her funeral. Wouldn't the charade have been up back in September when they informed him there was no one by that name at that funeral parlor? Haven't seen the interview yet, but if true... Definitely a valid question. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blotsfan 2,112 Posted January 25, 2013 So, when its someone going to ask Tuiasosopo why he decided it was worth it? I get playing a prank on someone, but why keep it up for HUNDREDS OF HOURS? Even if he does the best woman's voice in the world I don't think I will ever believe that part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if he does the best woman's voice in the world I don't think I will ever believe that part. The running theory is that he wasn't doing it as a prank. It was a co-dependent relationship where both men were helping each other. Even if Te'o didn't know she was actually a he. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) So... Ronaiah's lawyer said his client acted alone in pretending to be Lennay. Good Morning America had 4 voice analyst experts on the show who determined that the voice in the voicemails was definitely that of a woman. And all of a sudden, Ronaiah's cousin Tino was the voice.

This girl gave permission to all these sites and media outlets to continue to use her picture? That's just dumb. Also, that voice is so high pitched. No way is that a guy disguising his voice. I would want to hear and see it on video before I believed that. This whole thing is out of control. Te'o, his family, and his friends all just need to put a lid on it and keep quiet from here on out. There is no point, no one is gaining anything from talking about it. Let it float to the back of peoples minds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let it float to the back of peoples minds. Well they are now claiming that it was a girl, it was Ronaiah's cousin. Let me just say that if this wasn't some elaborate hoax, and Ronaiah is taking the fall for Te'o, not only are they both gay, they are also both douchebags because they just dragged this girl into it too. And if she didn't actually have anything to do with it, but they just screwed with her life because Te'o is too big of a coward to fess up and/or come out of the closet, I for one would never want that type of guy on my team, regardless of his physical prowess.
