• The Manti Te’o Story Has Taken Some Odd Twists: Here’s What You Need to Know

  January 18, 2013 at 12:12pm

  Last night on Gretta VS’s show, she mentioned that the ‘girlfriend’s’ online account was created by some guy who created this persona (eww!), and has pulled this not only on T’eo, but other athletes. Why isn’t the media looking more into THAT? I think this creep is extorting this poor kid (for money or sick kicks); if T’eo has been part of it since realizing it’s fake, but only because he’s being forced. I wonder if the family has also been forced perpetuate the story. I think other players who are supporting this have either been manipulated in some way or T’eo confided the situation to them and asked them to help. If he’s being extorted or manipulated in some way, it all makes sense. Why else would these people behave like this? T’eo has nothing to gain so much by this, but the threat of an NFL career or reputation to lose. I think that he was targeted because he’s an decent and talented kid with a rising star, and some jerk wants to ruin it for him.
