Manti Te’o Was Talking to Ronaiah Tuiasosopo – Who Was Pretending to Be a Female – on the Phone For Hours During Many of Those Calls
The Manti Te’o hoax story took a 24 or 48 hour respite Sunday and Monday, but it is back, and uglier than ever.
Wednesday, ESPN collected spreadsheets from Te’o with all the phone calls the Notre Dame linebacker made to the person he thought was his fake girlfriend – to be clear, they are not actual phone records – in 2012. Now, the Daily News drops a bomb, courtesy of the lawyer of alleged hoax mastermind, Ronaiah Tuiasosopo: Manti Te’o wasn’t talking to a girl all that time on the phone – a lot of the time, he was talking to a man pretending to be a girl. And that man was Ronaiah Tuiasosopo.
The soul-baring chats between the star linebacker and the man posing as his phantom girlfriend were the linchpin of their fake fairy-tale romance. But Te’o apparently never realized it was Tuiasosopo disguising his voice to assume the persona of stunning, sassy Stanford coed Kekua.
Blockbuster? I’d say so. And for the segment of the population who has been trying to advance the Manti-might-be-gay angle, well, I’m sure you’ll focus on these quotes from Tuiasosopo’s lawyer:
“This wasn’t a prank to make fun,” Grimes told The News. “It was establishing a communication with someone. … It was a person with a troubled existence trying to reach out and communicate and have a relationship.”
Grimes declined to answer when asked to elaborate on his client’s intentions or what type of relationship he wanted with the college football star: “I wouldn’t describe his issues at this time.”
So this wasn’t all part of a Leukemia money scam … it was more about having a relationship? So a man with a ‘troubled existence’ wants to reach out and have a phone/text relationship … with another man who just happens to be one of the best defensive players in college football, playing for a Catholic University?

Te’o wasn’t talking to Ronaiah because these phone records are a fake. A spreadsheet proves nothing. Give me my cell phone bill from last 3 months and I can convert them to .xml, doctor them up a bit and show you that I was talking to Jennifer Hudson for hours upon hours.
January 24th, 2013 at 9:07 AM
give me a fucking break. all those calls and all that time he could never figure out that it was a guy? and this Tuiasosopo clown never broke character once? This is ridiculous
January 24th, 2013 at 9:08 AM
you rhetorically blew my mind with this.
January 24th, 2013 at 9:08 AM
and this matters why?
January 24th, 2013 at 9:09 AM
He was talking to his gay lover. Roniah can’t pretend to be a girl on the phone and he’s not going to recruit a female to spend hundreds of hours on the phone with Manti.
January 24th, 2013 at 9:09 AM
never mind, the theory that Te’o is gay, got it. Still, not like ND doesn’t admit gay students (right?)
January 24th, 2013 at 9:10 AM
so you think Te’o was a bone smuggler, Matt?
January 24th, 2013 at 9:11 AM
This whole thing continues to be insulting. Manti is still lying and the media still covering up and not using common sense.
January 24th, 2013 at 9:13 AM
If you have phone records, make a copy of them and send them. Spreadsheets again prove nothing. How and why is everyone taking him at his word here on this one? You guys do realize you can edit cells in a spreadsheet right?
I feel like Will Ferrel’s character in Zoolander and is convinced everyone is taking crazy pills.
January 24th, 2013 at 9:15 AM
Really, this should surprise no one who has exercised a modicum of common sense as the truth has trickled out with this story.

I think it’s very possible that Te’o is gay and is trying to keep it concealed. This whole story is just so ridiculous that him being gay is pretty much the only way for it to make sense.
January 24th, 2013 at 9:25 AM
This story has more wrinkles than a Mike Martz game plan.
January 24th, 2013 at 9:27 AM
oh my.
January 24th, 2013 at 9:29 AM
I actually think this latest reveal makes more sense than Te’o being gay. Why would Te’o have fabricated all that shit if he were gay. He could have just dated chicks a couple times and cited religious reasons for not banging them or whatever if that were the case. I think it makes more sense that this Ronaiah kid was gay for Te’o, pretended to be a chick, sucked Te’o in with all the dying stuff, then Te’o found out and was obviously completely mortified. It’s clear that Te’o is also a complete fail with his social skills.

he may not even know it yet. But Ronioaoah knew, and was trying to get him some. I think. But I do not believe you could talk to somebody on the phone for longer than 30 minutes and not know it was a dude.
Because he’d want you to know about his ejaculation.

It’s not gay if you don’t love the guy, but it’s pretty clear that’s not the case here.
January 24th, 2013 at 9:48 AM
but I totally think they were butt buddies, for the record. And that Teo was in on it the entire time. And that the whole “hoax” angle is a coverup. And that the original lie was told to explain whispering into a phone while cranking it, and how it was a girl he was talking to, not a church organ player.

It’s not gay if you don’t love the guy, but it’s pretty clear that’s not the case here.
there is definitely a sub section of homo known as gay for pay. Usually, though, they do the rogering. They do the rooting in the other guy’s rooter. Usually.
If you take up in the ass from a dude, you’re gay.
However…anything you do, no matter what it is, if you do it with a chick, that’s straight. Dan Savage has confirmed that.

the leukemia death was the way out, because the story had gotten too big. They thought killing “her” off would hide the story, because they couldn’t keep it up (especially for a chick)

After what Jeff Ireland asked Dez Bryant about his mom, I suspect Te’o being asked if he were gay is going to be a softball question in his interview.
January 24th, 2013 at 9:59 AM
If the gay is indeed the truth, it’ll be interesting to see how people absorb and react to him. I see it going 50/50
January 24th, 2013 at 10:00 AM
Sexual orientation is considered sex under EEOC guidelines so they shouldn’t be asking that because it would be used to show discriminatory practices.
January 24th, 2013 at 10:00 AM
Are NFL teams allowed to ask him if he is gay?
that’s against the law, right?

It would be considered a pre employment inquiry and it’s not prohibited to ask questions relating to sex it needs to be related to the ability to perform the job otherwise it will be used as evidence to show discriminatory practice in hiring.

You guys are more desperate than Tuiasosopo when it comes to sticking to story you desire. You simultaneously argue that the guy was a fake because he had multiple girlfriends at Notre Dame while having this internet relationship, BUT… he had this internet relationship to hide his homosexuality. You know, because that’s what in the closet dudes do, they make their secret internet homo relationship public. “He couldn’t have fallen for this, because he was the star linebacker at Notre Dame.” Now, the phone records are fake, and he is paying Tuiasosopo off to play crazy. Damn!

I usually subscribe to Occam’s Razor where the simplest explanation is usually the correct one, but I have no idea what the simplest explanation is in this situation.

It wasn’t all that elaborate until he was outed. He had a fake beard girlfriend who he mentioned every now and then to keep other things on the DL, no big deal.
Things got to the point where reporters wanted to meet fake girlfriend, so fake girlfriend died.

fwiw, we had A LOT of new commenters after the Wes Welker wife story Monday. Probably 50 people signed up, and many of them commented.
I don’t know where Uncle Remus came from, though. I never looked into him. Guess the IP statement scared him off
January 24th, 2013 at 10:38 AM
plenty of zucchini?
January 24th, 2013 at 10:39 AM
i don’t think he’s commented in awhile, KC.
I haven’t seen him since last week. I assumed you finished him off.

Pats fans? Ugh.
Remus seemed to come specifically for Te’o. That is all he commented about. No matter what post he commented on.
January 24th, 2013 at 10:41 AM
Uncle Remus? Dis sho am good.
January 24th, 2013 at 10:41 AM
Uncle Remus = Jack Swarbrick

Nah, he’s busy with the other former commenter “cool kids” on twitter who think this place sucks nowadays.

Hilarious. He is a grown ass man that runs a wrasslin blog that used to spam the comments here with his live chat links.

either pats fans or ravens fans, something this site doesn’t need more of.

January 24th, 2013 at 10:51 AM
No, if you look back at the Welker post, there were a ton of random ProFootballTalk-like comments on the bottom bashing her. Looked to be Ravens fans actually.
January 24th, 2013 at 10:52 AM
I feel like that has to be for another reason… was that story really a big deal? Who cares what some chick said?
January 24th, 2013 at 10:53 AM
I wonder if a Ravens blog or something picked up the story and linked here?
January 24th, 2013 at 10:53 AM
Commenter fight!
the thing is, is it really so different than it ever was, as far as commnter mix? still lots of folks who know their sports, lots of social commentary, some goofballs, some trolls. TBLAD may not be a thing like it used to be, but i think it’s just that twitter is an alternative that wasn’t used much before 2010. now they are there not here, but i don’t think it’s because the mix here is too different. only so much time in a day/night to comment at places
January 24th, 2013 at 10:53 AM
Probably something like that. See all the “Ray Lewis is a saint!” comments.
January 24th, 2013 at 10:56 AM
was that story really a big deal? WWoS
No, not at all. I can’t figure out why it would generate new commenters other than angry Pats fans defending his wife.

Fuck PFT and Florio. Also, technically what she said wasn’t wrong, just sour grapes. All thinking it, she just said it.
January 24th, 2013 at 11:02 AM

That is my understanding as well. I think it’s also called finger cuffs or something like that….I’d have to see Chasing Amy again to see if I’m remembering that correctly.
January 24th, 2013 at 11:04 AM
Finger cuffs is the correct term.
January 24th, 2013 at 11:05 AM

I care about what Cracker jack has to say when she agrees with me.
