[We_Are_ND]

[irish o'phile]

Here. That @Jayrahz said to go to Roniah Tuiasosopo

Here is his twitter.
https://mobile.twitter.com/ronaiahhh

Last tweet on that account:

[Rudy89]

what is this about?

Manti was told this guy was a relative of his girlfriends.

They had a friendship of sorts.

 

[NDPhilly]

And I'm absolutely lost again.

Twitter is absolutely exploding with this.

 

[We_Are_ND]

This could mean that the multiple of characters involved that Jack was talking about was exactly that. Maybe the motive of this hoax was to get his music heard? Created a relationship with Manti and eventually with Robert Woods? I honestly don't know what the *uck is going on.

Mother of God.

Good night... I need a break from all of this... It's just one big mind-****

 

[We_Are_ND]

Pat Forde is on this

It would appear that deadspins "investigative" reporting has been debunked in a single night. They may have split the beans, but implying at the end of their article that he was behind it by citing some anonymous source was just dumb.

Actually, their reporting is proving to be spot on.

They found the real woman who was suppose to be Manti's girlfriend in the photos, and she said she had sent a picture to her former classmate Ronaiah Tuiasosopo. Ronaiah is the same person the people in the tweets you are reading are talking about.

Sound reporting all around.

 

[Cali_domer]

Wow, step away for awhile and it turns again.

Side-note: The person(s) that pulled this are pieces of s-h-i-t.

Deadspin, is that you?

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Sound reporting all around.

Right. Just like the unsubstantiated shot at the end by an "anonymous source" that's 80% certain Te'o was in on it for publicity? Yeah, responsible reporting there.

 

[Damion704]

Someone PLEASE send this crap to ALL media outlets.. PLEASE

 

[BeauBenken]

Right. Just like the unsubstantiated shot at the end by an "anonymous source" that's 80% certain Te'o was in on it for publicity? Yeah, responsible reporting there.

Glad you're back.

If you're trying to follow all the tweets here they are in one place:

[Kak7304]

My mind is absolutely blown right now. Good thing I get a break tomorrow since I'm working at an inpatient psychiatric hospital right now. Too much crazy for me.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Doubt it. More likely, Woods is just a prick who's enjoying Te'o's embarrassment, and classlessly decided to congratulate the perpetrator on Twitter.

Hope you blow out a knee before the combine, Rob! Hugs and nibbles!

Edit: I get it. It's an old tweet.

Woods tweeted that back in the summer. Honestly have no idea what's going on right now. Thought we solved it with Ronaiah but it appears that he Atleast used to be close to Manti. No idea right now.
