Report: ND player thinks Te'o lied

An anonymous Notre Dame teammate of Te’o spoke to Jackie Peppers of  who has formerly worked for ESPN, Fox Sports and the NFL Network and now has her own site Pepperonsports.com, sheds light on what is really going on. Here is what he had to say. The Notre Dame football player, who asked for anonymity, told Pepper On Sports, “No we all knew he had only seen her once. But when the media was saying how he went through both deaths we knew,” said the source, referring to the back-to-back deaths of Te’o’s grandmother and girlfriend Lennay Kekua, who allegedly died of Leukemia. In defense of the Heisman Trophy candidate, the source said he believes the lie may have indeed started with somebody duping Te’o using a phony twitter account, and eventually, faking their own death. Early in my conversation with the source, the Notre Dame player said, “He lied, but the media blew it up.” In response to my follow-up question asking if the source thought that Te’o kept the story going because of the media attention, the player replied, “Yeah. Right after the Michigan [State] game. He should have never brought her in the media. His grandma passing was enough.” When asked if he thought Te’o was a good actor, the player replied, “Very good.” This sounds accurate to me, but instead of manning up, Te’o will play the victim.  The reality is it was his attention whoring that got him into the situation he is in now. Here is the best case scenario theory for Te’o and there are a lot of wild rumors going on, but it is possible originally he was Catfished, but once the media picked up the story, he didn’t dare admit that the person he was talking to wasn’t real. Just like with most lies they started to stack on top of each other and got bigger and bigger to the point Te’o was simply in too deep. Once he realized he had been duped and it was possible he could get exposed he confessed to Notre Dame claiming he was the victim. Unless you are a Kardashian do not push your luck with Attention Whoring, you will get exposed.
