EastCoastNiner Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 lol wtf? This shit is all over my twitter feed. So, I read the article, but I really am not that familiar with the story in the past...let me get this straight: This girlfriend he supposedly had and passed away, never existed...at all? And he confirmed he dated 'this girl?' From another site: Cliffs:-No record of death, funeral, or obituaries-No record of auto accident-No record of a "Lennay Kekua" attending Stanford-Photographs used by media were actually of another woman who does not know Manti Not to mention a few beat writers from ND are now saying there was never even a mention of him having a girlfriend before her "death". Up until recently, the girl from California had no clue her pictures were being used as Te'o's "girlfriend". This all seems too weird........

EastCoastNiner Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 https://www.facebook.com/NDFootball/posts/553537038009180 ]Notre Dame Statement: Manti Te’o 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.

EastCoastNiner Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Wait...didn't he acknowledge her existence a few times before? Honestly, my mind is full of F*** right now. Apparently he never actually ever met her, or he had met her multiple times and was somehow "duped" for three years. None of those make sense. The Notre Dame message boards are hilarious right now. Denial, blame, excuses. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobb Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 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."One of the weirdest things I have come across. Don't even know what to think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "girl" you call the "love of your life" is dying, and you have never met her in person, yet she would rather not see you. That doesn't throw up any red flags? No time to go to the funeral to see the "love of your life"? Lol come on, man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
