I’m so in on this that it’s not even funny. For those of you who don’t know, Te’o was catfished while playing for Notre Dame.
He thought he was in a long distance relationship with a woman named Lennay Kekua, but Kekua was really a man by the name of Ronaiah Tuiasosopo.
There are wild scandals, and then there’s the Te’o girlfriend scandal. One of the best football players in America was dating a dude he thought was a woman!
I couldn’t make this stuff up if I tried. Hollywood couldn’t even make something like this up.
Manti Te’o literally talked about Lennay Kekua dying of cancer on national television and she wasn’t even real!
How does a dude who is one of the best athletes on the planet get duped into a situation like this? It’ll forever blow my mind, and now ESPN will cover it in a documentary!
Let’s not forget this dude gave an interview where he talked about meeting this person, who again, didn’t exist!
Oh, I am so excited for this documentary. Whenever “Manti Te’o: Too Good to Check” comes out, I’m so in that it’s not even funny! It’s going to be absolutely incredible.
