I would guess it started out as a little small story he told his family and small circle (remember it's a religious family and attending Notre Dame), and then the little lies you tell to keep the story held together become unusual/interesting "facts" that draw attention when you actually become famous, which the press always wants to find the little stories like that, and then it just snowballs and there's no opportunity to undo lies and you sort of have to go all in on the lie or it fails. I feel bad for him for what's come of this if he actually is gay. | ||

I'm with y'all in him being gay as the only explanation that'd save him, but apparently he didn't think of that one in time for the press conference. Unless ND has some weird rules with regard to gay students I'm unaware of... edit: http://teoing.tumblr.com/ | ||

If you want to hide your sexual orientation, your fictional girlfriend doesn't into a car wreck or develop leukemia, and she sure as fuck doesn't die. The beard-gone-wrong explanation requires Te'o to be every bit as stupid as any other possible explanation. | ||

Perhaps when the lie became "known" to the media when he got famous he killed her off so it would end it? Its just a strangely bizarre situation. | ||

Ahahhahahha. This is like an idiot friend trying to help with a cover up. How are they possibly going to pull this off? Even if there's a voice behind the phone calls (which hasn't been shown), it definitely ain't the girl on Twitter. | ||

Investigative journalism at its best. Seems like Ronaiah Tuiasosopo is behind all of it, but was Te'o actively involved? | ||

I mean, I understand initially saying 'oh it was a hoax, we believe him' but the fake ass crying and then saying you hired a PI... when you wouldn't fuckin do that for that girl in the sexual assault case recently? Fuck you Notre Dame https://twitter.com/justinrmegahan I didn't read it yet, but this dude apparently spend many hours going through twitter shit and it seems that it is a hoax now?? I don't know I am catching up on stuff from last night and just saw this apparently this is the best summary thus far: Ronaiah created Lennay ~2008, knew Teo personally and used that to get Teo to "meet" Lennay on the internet, Teo falls for her, Ronaiah plays that for a bit, using some other people as help to keep it going as far as pics/phone chat, Teo starts to get too close, Ronaiah panicks and steals the car crash/leukemia story from Six Feet Under, strings that along for awhile until he figures it can't keep going but now it's gotten too big, and makes the ridiculous decision to have "Lennay" die instead of break-up with Teo, garnering national attention? I feel dumber for having written that. http://www.thebiglead.com/index.php/2013/01/17/manti-teo-told-interviewer-lennay-kekua-wrote-him-letter-before-stanford-game-31-days-after-she-died/ Good lord. There are so many fucking twists at this point. | ||
