Lennay Kekua, A Hoax!

Finn The Human ‏@kevindineen_28
People are mad at Teo for something he might not have known about. Kobe raped a woman, Roethlisberger raped 3 and Ray Lewis killed a guy.

Truth.

 

[ARALOU]

Anyone know something about the homo thing?

Not me. Not ever.

 

[BeauBenken]

Who was the girl he was talking to on the phone?? Manti has to be able to tell a guy from a girl, right??

Side note- now I see why he declined playing in the senior bowl.

Other people talked to her too. There was clearly more than one person involved in duping Manti.

 

[NDHoosier101]

I have midterm exams tomorrow but haven't even opened my textbook. Couldn't Deadspin have picked a different night to break this?

Agreed, I have **** due tonight that I haven't started cause of this story.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Phone records are about the only thing that will save him now.

 

[BurningRiver]

What happens to the game ball Brian Kelly gave to Lennay?

I mean, if it's just sitting around in a case somewhere and they need someone to hold onto it for a while, I guess I have space in my house..

[Walter White]

He just went from one green to almost all red in seconds. Wow.

Wooly has the power to crush reputations. I liked him before, but now I am afraid to make him mad.

There was the conspiracy theory floated that because the young man that "played" Lennay was also a friend of Teo's, that the whole Lennay persona was really just a cover for a gay relationship.

Doesn't look like thats the case.

 

[In Lou I Trust]

tl;dr... my buddy called me and said that he's hearing rumors of Manti creating a cover up to hide his sexuality. They're apparently insinuating that he is gay.

 

[GATTACA!]

RIP Lennay

We barely knew you

 

[DCIrish]

I don't understand what Manti gained by lying about this.

What do Alabama RB Eddie Lacy and Lennay Kekua have in common? @MTeo_5 never hit it.

As much as i love ND, this is comedy gold

Interesting!! Did anyone on the team talked to her?

 

[Walter White]

Brian Hamilton ‏@ChiTribHamilton
Manti Te'o statement, issued via CAA: "Emotional relationship with a woman I met online." Not at Stanford in 2009. The key discrepancy.

This is where the whole thing could implode. He HAS to admit to lying one way or the other.

Except I believe it was his dad that said they met at Stanford. Papa Teo may have been embarrassed that his son found someone online and made up a little lie.

I could be wrong about this though.

We don't know who they were...yet.

Yeah, that doesn't seem likely.


And my head would explode from the Oceans 13 style love life of Te'o.


Fellas, this is what "Inception" feels like.

 

[WakeUpEchoes]

Phone records are about the only thing that will save him now.

But legally, no one has access to this except for the individual paying for the bill (assuming no charges are brought that could result in a subpoena). The only possible way for these to be released/discussed is if Manti does it himself.

I don't think it will come to this, but you are right, phone records could ease the situation.

 

[IrishSteelhead]

What channel is the presser on? I'm getting NBA on ESPN.

 

[Booslum31]

I feel bad for Te'o, and I hope AJ Mcaron's gf does too and leave that giant doucher for Manti.

Is press conference going to be live on ESPN?

ESPN at 8:00. Sick to my stomach!

 

[ND NYC]

Jack needs to put an exclamation point on this thing in terms of ND and their future involvement in this entire matter.
needs to say its a personal matter-notihng really to do with us. (but in a respectful way of course)
he better not leave this where we will be looking into it, exploring our options BS etc and getting back to us on it.

"since we've become aware we looked to provide support if any in this type of thing really boild down to a personal matter." Manti needs to man up and say this has nothing whatsoever to do with ND, "i'm the fool here this is all on me" kind of thing.

 

[STLDomer]

Lol a 247 poster who is an OSU fan just posted that ND should get a bowl ban and reduction of scholarships for this

 

[koonja]

Te'o, if you're gay, embarrassed, whatever, I love you, man. Stay strong!

[ND NYC]

Possible blackmail attempt or a future extortion case?

A young female than demands money or truth is revealed?

Wow...

interesting

 

[Sherm Sticky]

I think it's on ESPN News at 8.

Keeps getting more out there don't it.

 

[Irish Houstonian]

The gay thing should be pretty easy to verify:

Just look around campus for the dude that never sits down.

Actually Mcarrons's GF was a fake woman created by Brent Musberger
