Ronaiah Tuiasosopo: Dr. Phil Lands Interview With Alleged Manti Te’o Hoaxer
By Josh Sanchez
The alleged mastermind behind the Manti Te’o hoax, Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, will reportedly perform his first on-camera interview since news surfaced that he orchestrated the fake persona of Lennay Kekua.
Dr. Phil will host the interview. Per ESPN:
"Dr. Phil McGraw has booked the first on-camera interview with the man who allegedly concocted the girlfriend hoax that ensnared Notre Dame football star Manti Te’o.A “Dr. Phil Show” spokesperson confirmed on Friday the interview with Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, the man accused of creating an online persona of a nonexistent woman who Te’o said he fell for without ever meeting face-to-face."
No date or time has been released regarding the air date of the Tuiasosopo interview. It will be interesting to see how apologetic and sincere Tuiasosopo is when he speaks with Dr. Phil.
One thing is for sure — he has a lot of explaining to do.
