How Good Is Ronaiah Tuiasosopo's Lady Voice?

During Manti Te'o's interview with Katie Couric, which airs today, he claims that he's not a STUNT QUEEN, he's just a gullible bitch, because he wasn't a part of the fake dead girlfriend hoax and he had no idea that his friend Ronaiah Tuiasosopo was Lennay Kekua the entire time. Manti says that why would he take part in a hoax that has ruined his reputation and possibly screwed with his football career. But even if this does ruin his football career, that's okay, because he can get a job working from home. Manti read that Debbie's mom makes $566/a day posting links on Google. Unbelievable!

Manti gave Katie Couric 3 voicemails that he thought were from his fake girlfriend, but they were really from Ronaiah Tuiasosopo. In the voicemails, Ronaiah as Lennay, talks about her chemotherapy sessions, gets jealous over Manti having another girl in his room and tells him she was released from the hospital. Ronaiah's lawyer says that he pretended to be a woman and put on his "falsetto" voice every time he talked to Manti. Here's just one of the voicemails, you can here the rest at Deadspin:

If you need to compare Ronaiah's lady voice to his man voice, here's a clip of him talking normal. I don't know, if I was working the drive-thru at McDonald's and Ronaiah spoke in his regular voice, I don't think I'd call him "miss." So either his lady voice is that good or he's using some kind of software. I don't know, but I do know that I want to hear a clip of Lennay and Manti phone fucking each other. I really need to hear Ronaiah make lady orgasm sounds as his peen explodes.

And TMZ says that Manti isn't the only dude who Ronaiah supposedly tricked. Ronaiah has feelings for dudes, but he doesn't want to face those feelings, so he created a fake girl and lives vicariously through her.

We're told Ronaiah used the female persona in many encounters, but so far there's no evidence he became intensely emotionally attached to anyone -- until Manti. We've confirmed when Ronaiah spoke with Manti as "Lennay Kekua" he used his own voice.

Indeed ... Ronaiah's feelings became so intense, he blew his cover on December 6 because it was hard to walk away. He never intended to reveal Manti was actually talking to a man ... he just wanted to reconnect with Manti, but still as a woman.

Our sources say Ronaiah has buried his feelings to the point he has little emotion about anything. We're told even the scandal has not produced intense emotions.

Well, I guess that's one awkward way to come out, awkwardly.

How old is Ronaiah? I mean, most of us outgrew the whole "pretend to be a woman on Craigslist to get straight men to have phone sex with you" phase in our teens! Okay, in our early twenties. Okay, in our mid twenties. Okay, last week. But still.

there are many worse felons in the NFL and stars.

Again, I call bullsh*t on all of this. How could this dude NOT know. If your long distance gf is dying of cancer AND gets into a serious car accident, you never once hop on a plane to see her? No Skype, no Facetime no nothing!?Just two closeted homosexuals who's plan of keeping their relationship under wraps getting waaay out of control. Its all quite sad and ridiculous.

This is interesting to Mr. Hekki and me because we're twisted, I guess.

I had been wondering who Manti was actually talking to and pleased that I was right. We decided it was that creeper Roniah, taking like a girl. Mr. Hekki had me rolling with his falsetto.

Ha!!! did you see the catfish episode where that albino looking kid thought he was in a relationship with that idiot former beauty queen turned celebrity rehab Keri Ann peniche. Course it turne out to be his friend in the end who "catfished" him.

Zorba-the-Geek's picture

Um, sorry, I still don't buy it. For some reason Ronaiah's agreed to be the fall guy in this crazy scenario. Maybe he's being paid really well or blackmailed for something, but Manti is refusing to come clean because he has everything to lose. I still think both these sociopathic bitches were in on the scheme. Manti always seemed a little too smug about his dead girlfriend and the attention her death brought to him. Fucking weirdo and phoney.

RandéSleepover's picture

It's news--and won't go away anytime soon--because (1) it's a bizarre human-interest story and (2) football is king in America and this sad guy was captain of an old-line, Catholic powerhouse that played in the national championship two weeks ago. Wait till the NFL draft process starts up...

I know a guy who is gay and he met a girl on Myspace a few years ago who pretended to be a gay guy for about a year. When they finally met in person it didn't turn him off, he decided he liked her and last I heard they had got engaged. Strange as hell, why would anyone even bother doing that for?

I am a little unclear as to what happened here, and I am pretty sure I do not care. What ever happened to following REAL news?

Those idiots in the government are really screwing around - not doing their jobs. So much crap is being thrown at us, and all the masses can focus on is whether Beyonce was lip synching at the Inauguration.

Ugggh. The world is going to hell in a hand basket...

This story is starting to irritate me. Since it's constantly in my face, I have a comment.

Everyone involved here needs an ass-kicking. The football player needs it for being stupid beyond measure, and the perp needs it for being a sociopathic freak.

O.k. fine, but then why did he do interviews talking about missing "her" and how he wish he could see her "again"? I would like to believe him but I can't.
He just had to be in on it because of the way he referred to this supposedly dead girlfriend and the way he talked about their relationship.

I think this poor young guy is just not hip to the adult game. We're living in a different time now. Everything goes through the internet for verification. People are too easy to keep track of through their social media outlets and websites like people finders, or "been verified". This guy has to be stupid because if he weren't he wouldn't have tried this nonsense otherwise. This girl had no online presence at all. Why did he think of that? It's just too easy to disprove peoples lies nowadays. So i don't know what he's playing at, but one thing for sure is that he's really dumb.

I so want you guys to see Monday's so we can talk about it. I shouldn't laugh at someone struggling with their sexuality, but the way he tried to play it off was just so unbelievable, plus he was cruel to woman because of his selfishness, so I don't feel bad!

Monday's was awesome. Dude was all excited when he thought the chick he was meeting was transgendered. Once she told him she wasn't trans he got all pouty and made up a story about how he'd used her for money. It was soooo obvious he was hunting dick, but he tried to play it off like he wasn't. Nev's camera man buddy was super on to him though!

That sounds good! I liked the other one with the trans guy who pretended to be a Swedish guy because the ending was really heart warming. And I have a huge crush on Max the camera man hahaha

he's not as bad as the half of them. he didn't commit crimes, felonies, driven drunk, killed a teammate while driving drunk, beat up a woman, shoot his girlfriend,(the list goes on) like some of the best in the league.

true or not, i'm still on the fence, but don't think it should affect his career or matter.

weren't there lies when it was said those guys met? and other inconsistencies? It's just so hard to believe.

I like Nev, but he is a fellow dumbass to those people. I can identify with Nevs friend who always tells at him to grill people more or that he lets them get off to easily . Internet love is for suckers, it is nothing more than those Chatphone lines in the 90s. My friend once met a dude on there, you would have thought she madly in love, til those two met face to face. Home girl screamed and slammed the door in his face!!! Suckers , all of them.

The story needs to go away but it's a huge story because 1) he used this story about the death of his girlfriend during the college postseason and as a way to rally his team and fans during the National Championship. If he was in on it - then that's just pretty shitty.

2) It's also a huge story just because there is so much speculation that this is a cover up for his being gay. Unfortunately, that is still a huge story in the world of football since as far as I know there are no openly gay ACTIVE NFL players. Those who came out came out after playing.

Prior to this story he is a top 5 NFL draft pick - therefore it's newsworthy to most.

I have an idea --- well, not so much an idea really as a straight up rip off of Jeff Foxworthy's "You Might Be a Redneck" crap --- for a book inspired by Manti Te’o entitled "You Might Have a Fake Girlfriend."

With instances of busting someone who is pretending to have a fake girlfriend like "If your girlfriend dies and you have 0.000% interest in attending her funeral ... you might have a fake girlfriend."

And questions that might let you know if your online girlfriend is real or not like "If everytime you talk to her on the phone it sounds like some dude trying to talk like a girl while at the same time keep from laughing ... you might have a fake girlfriend."
