Dr. Phil: 11x109
Exclusive: The Man behind the Manti Te’o Girlfriend Hoax Comes Clean
Dr. Phil recently sat down with Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, the man behind the Manti Te’o love hoax. Ronaiah revealed how he created Lennay, a Polynesian beauty, as an intricate deception to lure the Notre Dame football hero into a relationship. Despite never meeting in person, Manti and the fictitious Lennay’s relationship grew deep and intimate on many levels, before Ronaiah killed off Lennay and the hoax was revealed.
