Manti TE'o: I Lied....BUT I HAD TO

Manti Te'o is telling friends ... he knew the truth about Lennay Kekua in early December ... but continued the lie for 20 days for the sake of his team.

Sources connected to Te'o say ... it's true what ND Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick aid Wednesday night, that Manti realized he had been hoaxed on Dec. 6, when he got a phone call from "Lennay" ... months after he thought she was dead. But sources tell us ... Manti didn't tell his coaches about the hoax until Dec. 26 ... because he thought it would be a huge distraction while the team prepared to face Alabama in the BCS Championship. During the 20 days, we're told Manti struggled over how to handle the situation ... but eventually felt compelled to come clean to his coaches.

Manti is currently training for the NFL combine -- and we're told he's getting a lot of support from the guys he's been training with.

Source

please dumbass, you lied because you never thought it would come to light.

this shit is so embarrassing and lonely as fuck. there are way easier ways to reveal to the world that the only affection you get is from a fleshlight.

butt_or_skotch 18th-Jan-2013 02:50 pm (UTC)
I so see this happening. Especially since Lautner isn't really known for carrying feature films. He'll probably end up in a Lifetime movie sooner rather than later.

talking about this to someone irl is so WEIRD because i have an entire history of sockpuppets on the internet in my head and i ended up regurgitating that along WITH this story.
mynamehere07 18th-Jan-2013 02:24 pm (UTC)
So you outed your online shenanigans to your irl friends.
lestat 18th-Jan-2013 02:26 pm (UTC)
no, 99% of my irl friends know me online. it's more like i talk to random ppl and then lead them down a rabbit hole of "LOL THIS IS COMMON INTERNET BEHAVIOR". it's amazing how many regular people just do not know that people tend to pull this online.

unless you meant i outted myself as a sock in which case i've never been a sock. it's more of telling people about things like msscribe

suzycat 18th-Jan-2013 03:03 pm (UTC)
Yeah, while there is some suss-ness about his lies about having met "her" IRL etc, I do believe it's highly plausible that he was sucked in, because lots of people do not know about sockpuppetry.

And when this story came to light and I read "near-fatal crash followed by leukaemia followed by coma relayed by family you don't know (presumably from the bedside) followed by meaningful statement followed by trag death" I thought "yup, it's textbook."

"Cough... dying... send lipgloss...."
holyfrijoles_2 18th-Jan-2013 04:34 pm (UTC)
Lol I know exactly what you mean. It's surprising that so many of my friends have no idea how insane things can get on the internet. And then I look crazy with how much I know about stuff like this.
symphonicdream 18th-Jan-2013 02:11 pm (UTC)
lolll I love this ND backlash

Ugh. this guy makes me angry.
ani_di_franco 18th-Jan-2013 02:13 pm (UTC)
I'm just not interested in this scandal. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
harlem_nocturne 18th-Jan-2013 02:38 pm (UTC)
Okay, I really thought I was the only one. I legitimately do not give a FUCK.
metyouwho 18th-Jan-2013 02:44 pm (UTC)
I'm amused by his stupidity and always here for throwing shit at ND. My irrational hope for this ~scandal is that enough people will be like "REALLY? This douche is a victim when victims of sexual assault are ignored by this school?" and ND will have to address that as well.

I don't have high hopes though.
suzycat 18th-Jan-2013 03:04 pm (UTC)
Very interesting segue. I hope the sexual violence thing gets some fair time too!
devetu 18th-Jan-2013 03:19 pm (UTC)
is there any school anywhere that doesn't have some kind of sexual assault scandal

smh
zeldafitzgerald 18th-Jan-2013 04:03 pm (UTC)
This is my one hope as well.
invitroblossoms 18th-Jan-2013 07:36 pm (UTC)

I am soooo into it, mostly b/c there's nothing in life I like more than being right, and while discussing sports w/ a co-worker we talked about the Heisman, and the main reason the said co-worker (who I hate) gave for giving Te'o the Heisman was his story, and when I said "who gives a shit about his dead girlfriend?" he basically tried to say I was going to hell for saying something like that and said I was a horrible human. Well look who's horrible now...
