Anyone see the Manti Te’o thing on Netflix?

**Kermit** · 08-19-22, 07:02 AM

I remember seeing the guy who was pretending to be a woman on Dr. Phil, and they made him do the girl's voice on the show. He would only do it behind a screen. Now I heard the guy is a trans woman. That whole story was fukked up.

Te'o must be hard up for cash, because there is no way that I would want to rehash this and remind people how gullible that I was.

for reference, this is the "girl"

One of the networks did a story about it on the news the other day..
Te'o is married with a kid now..
Asked him if he would ever consider talking to the guy F2F and he just said "No."

Yes that’s the perpetrator after the sex change. He was listed as the cousin on Lennays Facebook.

The girl who’s photos were being used is named Diane O’Meara. She wasn’t on the documentary, but apparently she had no idea her image was used. However, this was a huge story that transcended sports. How could she not have realized at that point that she was Lennay after Lennay “died” and the picture was everywhere? Also, she sent a fresh picture to the tranny on December 21st after Lennay had “died.” That seems pretty fuckin weird.

Yes, seen it.

**DiggityDaggityDo** · 08-20-22, 01:14 PM

Ok I’m about to watch it.

This shit better be good, Trinity.

**DwightShrute** · 08-21-22, 03:52 PM

I just finished watching it.

Pretty good. Amazing story. What a POS his fake gf is.

**JIBBBY** · 08-21-22, 05:10 PM

I can't watch tranny shit shows. I'm out no matter how good it is.

Someone needs to beat the shit out of that tranny

**Kermit** · 08-21-22, 08:34 PM

Did they only make this documentary because the Tranny thing is cool now? Like, would they have made this if the guy was still a "guy"?

They had a disclaimer that the Teo’s didn’t know Lennay was a tranny at the beginning when they did the interviews. I think it was probably the timing of his NFL career ending and knowing he wouldn’t be in the public eye anymore and having a cash grab available. I would assume it was done only because Teo said he would do it.

The broad who’s pictures were being used is the thing still makes no sense to me. She could have said that’s me, proved it, and had her 15 minutes on all the talk shows. Even if she could have cared less about football, the story transcended sports. You would have had to live in a cave to not know it was happening. I think she did eventually go on a talk show but she could and should have broken the story. She was pretty hot looking. Teo should have tried to tap that when it was over. Hell, he should have been too knee deep in pussy at south bend anyways to care about some girl he never even saw.

I think he/she said he was the cousin of marques Tuiasosopo. Thought he said his dad played college football too. I just assumed he got his ass kicked by someone in the family eventually.

I remember it happening, but I didn’t remember anything after they said it was a hoax aside from him being on TV a few times. One thing that bothered me was shouldn’t the woman who’s picture was being used know it was her picture everywhere? That’s the one part of the story that didn’t make sense.

They told her

Nah it suked

**Okieirish** · 08-27-22, 09:52 AM

The incident really wrecked his career. I am sure it cost him at least 10 million just in getting drafted later than expected. He was an unbelievable player. That was his Kryptonite. He was never the same after that. Who would be, getting catfished by a tranny?

**7deuceoff$uit** · 08-27-22, 10:29 AM

Killed his draft stock, but worse he seemed to not recover mentally and his play showed.

**El Nino** · 08-28-22, 06:19 AM

Not the ideal doc if you're trying to differentiate between transgender and mental illness. That dude/bitch was crazy and evil.
