Manti Ruh R'oh - It turns out Tuiasosopo is GOAT voice actor. T'eo still a liar/exaggerator. - Page 6 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

I have a feeling there will be multiple levels of crazy revealed slowly over the next few days.

Like when tiger unravelled, first you heard he wrecked his car... then you found out he was on ambien and attacked by elin... then you found out he was cheating... then you found out he was like banging two or three chicks... then you found out it was actually like 30 chicks... then you found out about the denny's waitress.

See this part I kind of understand. Easy to see how this all went ape **** out of control and he couldn't back out once it got going.

The part that makes no sense is why it started in the first place.

yeah i was wondering what ND was gonna say short of throwing him under the bus and pleading ignorance about everything. but this is a very interesting angle, and something i couldn't have thought of, lol.

In other news, Catfish is a pretty addicting show.

OMG, his defense is totally going to be he never met her and his online/phone girlfriend pretended to die on him.

Yeah, and you failed to mention to the media you never actually met her once why exactly?

LOL, this is too much, I seriously can't take this much schadenfreude at once.

Fake girlfriend as a beard is the only even semi-logical explanation, but even that doesn't explain why she would ever have to be killed off

Is it possible that he met her and they had a relationship and she just lied to him about her name and faked the leukemia/death stuff? ie. She's the sociopath not him?

ND seems to be pretty obviously screwing up by releasing any statement at this point. Like, they don't seem to understand how the internet works. The whole truth is going to come out here, pretending that they can make it go away by issuing some bull**** statement is totally ******ed but not at all surprising given that it is ND we're talking about.

Also posting the same stupid picture 10 times in one post, ever, should be an instant permaban.

I'm sure you can find some people in OOT who have had long, monogonous relationships with people they have never met.

likely: no
