WTF? ND says Teo was the victim of a hoax?

Notre Dame Statement: Manti Te’o

On Dec. 26, Notre Dame coaches were informed by Manti Te’o and his parents that Manti had been the victim of what appears to be a hoax in which someone using the fictitious name Lennay Kekua apparently ingratiated herself with Manti and then conspired with others to lead him to believe she had tragically died of leukemia. The University immediately initiated an investigation to assist Manti and his family in discovering the motive for and nature of this hoax. While the proper authorities will continue to investigate this troubling matter, this appears to be, at a minimum, a sad and very cruel deception to entertain its perpetrators.

University Spokesman | Assistant Vice President


I don't believe this shit for a second. At least its more creative than a mysterious-RESPECKT HIS PRIVACY-illness.

So he was a victim of a hoax and knew it as early as 12/26. I'm impressed they kept this under wraps for as long as they did.

So you're telling me Manti T'eo, All-American and future professional football player/millionaire, had an internet relationship for months with a woman he never met?

I'm just glad Manti Te'o caught that serial killer who's been putting red ribbons on his homeless Baltimore victims.

I haven't seen it on any official ND page but people are now cutting and pasting this as a statement from Notre Dame:

From Notre Dame spokesperson Dennis Brown:

"On Dec. 26, Notre Dame coaches were informed by Manti Te'o and his parents that Manti had been the victim of what appears to be a hoax in which someone using the fictitious name Lennay Kekua apparently ingratiated herself with Manti and then conspired with others to lead him to believe she had tragically died of leukemia.

Especially since T'eo claimed he had met her in person. Unless he was embarrassed to admit that he was in an internet relationship.

It never felt like a chance meeting, although it probably appeared that way from the outside looking in.

Their stares got pleasantly tangled, then Manti Te'o extended his hand to the stranger with a warm smile and soulful eyes.


Lennay Kekua was a Stanford student and Cardinal football fan when the two exchanged glances, handshakes and phone numbers that fateful weekend three seasons ago.

She was gifted in music, multi-lingual, had dreams grounded in reality and the talent to catch up to them.

The plan was for Kekua to spend extensive time with the whole Te'o family when upwards of 40 of them came to South Bend in mid-November for ND's Senior Day date with Wake Forest.

"They started out as just friends," Brian Te'o said. "Every once in a while, she would travel to Hawaii, and that happened to be the time Manti was home, so he would meet with her there. But within the last year, they became a couple.

Pretty obvious if you read between the lines a little that this dude has a gay relationship with the Tuiasosopo guy. A bit confusing why they had to create and kill off a fictitious person to put in the middle of it - I guess as a way of communicating without the gheyness coming to light.

Insane that ND is doubling down on this horseshit.

if murderers and dog fighting promoters can find a team and a huge paycheck i think a kid that lied about banging a girl while he was blowing a guy should be okay

so this all started coming apart on 12/26? isn't that about the time that the domers would have arrived in miami AND about the time the christopher huang disappeared from the world of eo?

if this were the maryann's board i would post a link to a picture of a naked hawai'ian and naked fat asianed man next to each other (maybe kissing, if i could find it)

Yes, this counts as another Brian Kelly murder.

Also, this is starting to remind me of the NFL draft-related episode of Party Down.

Te'o's full statement on the situation, according to ESPN:

"This is incredibly embarrassing to talk about, but over an extended period of time, I developed an emotional relationship with a woman I met online. We maintained what I thought to CONTINUED...

be an authentic relationship by communicating frequently online and on the phone, and I grew to care deeply about her.

"To realize that I was the victim of what was apparently someone's sick joke and constant lies was, and is, painful and humiliating.

"It further pains me that the grief I felt and the sympathies expressed to me at the time of my grandmother's death in September were in any way deepened by what I believed to be another significant loss in my life.

"I am enormously grateful for the support of my family, friends and Notre Dame fans throughout this year. To think that I shared with them my happiness about my relationship and details that I thought to be true about her just makes me sick. I hope that people can understand how trying and confusing this whole experience has been.

"In retrospect, I obviously should have been much more cautious. If anything good comes of this, I hope it is that others will be far more guarded when they engage with people online than I was.

"Fortunately, I have many wonderful things in my life, and I'm looking forward to putting this painful experience behind me as I focus on preparing for the NFL Draft."
