Then why did ND say it wasn't and why aren't the cops and Feds all other Tui already?

I can however completely see where Manti is coming from. I've never had an online relationship, but I can imagine that if I did that I would probably feel like he did about it.
You'd be calling her the love of your life when you're the big shite on a football mad campus? Pretty lame.

Then why'd he say on Twitter he hates cancer because he lost his grandma and gf to it?
So at the time he may have wanted to express his feelings on cancer and his grandma, but also had to mention his girlfriend to keep up the lie.

"I have lost loved ones to cancer."
Conveys the same idea. Makes no mention of the girlfriend.

Don't bother, it's like talking to a chimpanzee

So he lied about meeting the girl in 09, the relationship got started in '11. That means that whoever was hoaxing had the resources to fly/drive to Palo Alto, then to Socal, then off to the BCS game, if he met these people, or some iteration of the girl. Again, why would anyone want to spend the resources to do this? And just how much money was Tuisasopo making that he had the discretionary income to be able to pull this off? Following the money makes this scenario even weirder....

Lennay kekua doesn't exist so he doesn't know anyone through her. To believe this your have to be willing to believe that she made the introduction through twitter, telephone, email and that he was stupid enough to not question why after 3 years he still hasn't met his online gf but he is meeting her cousin and roniah.
There is a girl who exists that he was talking to, but it wasn't somebody named Lennay Kekua.
She told him that Roniah was related to her.

The car crash she had that Teo didn't visit her for either was supposed to be 8 months before she died. He didn't just ratchet up talking "her" in May.

Maybe he didn't feel the need to be vague since people would know who he is talking about anyway.

This changes nothing. My points are valid. Can you address them or not?

But if you're trying to avoid discussing a fake person wouldn't you deliberately be vague?

Exactly. If you just want the situation to go away, you don't continue expressly talking about it.

In fact I had telephone covered in my post. At this point you have to be a troll.

Update (2:34 a.m.): ESPN has removed all references to the woman claiming to be Lennay showing up at the team hotel from its online story. There is no explanation, note, or correction in their story.

Sure, there isn't really a "Lennay Kekua", but only in name. There literally was a person talking to Manti claiming to be somebody named Lennay Kekua, and she says this guy Roniah is a relative of hers.
Manti was "friends" with this girl talking to him before he knew Roniah.

I've read too many lies from Manti, including how he met her, their relationship, and her death, to suddenly start believing his explanation as the truth.. It's like saying I know everything I've told you up until this point has been a lie, but this time I'm telling the truth. Their response to the whole thing has been really weird to say the least. If this is me and I've been humiliated on a national level like, I'm gonna be out front telling my side of the story to anyone who will listen.

OK although some stories say it happened before either way you can't seriously think it just started then. He told SI the official date they started dating was Oct. 15th by the way
