BRAVE! A Transgender Sociopath Destroyed Manti Te’o’s Life | Louder With Crowder

Woke Netflix was more worried about misgendering a criminal than they were sympathetic about her destroying Manti Teo's life. Take a look for yourself at this nonsense. Taken from the full episode: rumble.com/v1hteyv-were-back-....

[@jasona9]

I agree, that this may have affected Manti's long-term career. I'm from San Diego and was happy the Chargers drafted him with their 2nd Round Pick. Manti was projected as a First Round Talent, so it was something of a "draft-day steal" for the Chargers to nab him in the 2nd round. FUN FACT: The Chargers traded-up to get Manti Teo. He actually cost the Chargers not only their 2nd Round Pick that year, but also their 4th Round Pick. BTW, I also agree that Netflix was very sympathetic to a "criminal".

[@Doogle81]

I was about to write the exact same thing! I couldn't believe how they made it out at the end that the psychopath catfish bastard was a suffering victim and wasn't living their true self. Sorry, but they have mental issues and it's making people with the same mental issues think it's ok. You can't just fuck over people's life cause your a nut case. Good on Manti to be able to forgive that horrible human, I don't know that I could.

I felt bad for Manti, he didn't go to the school he originally wanted, and was in a totally different culture/place/environment but he rose above it and was doing really good at his game! Then you bring along this person who decides to trick him and then plays a TON of dirty tricks on him... And the tricks that were pulled on him were just beyond cruel! Then, throw in the media accusing Manti of being gay, and it was nothing but a train wreck for him after that. Manti really kept his composure throughout the whole documentary and it was sad seeing the damage it did to him. He comes from a very close-knit culture and community so the idea of someone doing something like that is not even thought of or heard of. In the end, I felt zero sympathies for the person who pulled this crap on him and I still feel bad for Mantai. It seems like he has been able to move past it, but the past will haunt him through no fault of his own.

I am dying for someone to come out with a story on how Adolf Hitler was trans, so I can watch how Netflix twists and metamorphoses itself into “reframing Hitler’s life story.” Ronaiah is obviously a deranged and highly sociopathic individual, who, even when unfairly given this platform by Netflix, he chooses to still act like a complete self-absorbed “yeah-I-was-wrong-but (insert petty excuse)” sociopath. Even at some point DARING to show his disappointment in the fact that Manti released all the creepo voicemails he left him in a perfect female voice, to try and prove for his benefit that the hoax was too elaborate for him to realize this was catfish (nor did the poor guy even know this term existed or that someone would be so deranged to concoct such lies for such a long time). I felt so deeply for Manti and the aftermath of this, so much suffering for him and his family, so much embarrassment, lost career opportunities, harassment in the media and everywhere he went, the anxiety this caused him. There’s no excuse for this. And the worst: the perpetrator walks with no punishment and obviously no shame or regret. In fact he gets to show off his wig and dances accompanied by melodramatic music in the background. Forgive me if I puke in my mouth.

When Naya made the phone call to say Lennay died (same day as his grandma), he said Lennay died of the Leukemia diagnosis. ^^both "deaths" & "miraculously recoveries/surprise I'm alive!"

So everything was reported that him and his friends made up this fake girl and killed her off to get media attention. This is the first I had ever heard that the person behind the account was actually catfishing him and all the transgender stuff that goes with that. From everything that was reported back then, we all thought he was in on it and it was a publicity stunt gone wrong. I even went as him and his "girlfriend" for Halloween, where I wore a ND jersey and just held my arm out in the air around a non-existent girl.

Catfish was a popular show on MTV at the time. All people his age knew about catfishing well over 12 years ago.

[@dongquixote7138]

Nobody watches MTV though

[@moonbeam178]

I started to watch it but I couldn't. That was disgusting

[@cristianhcm1914]

Well said

That dude should be sued to the extreme. This had a huge impact on his career and life.

[@anthonyrodriguez2413]

She had many red flags. Didn’t want to Skype or video, delayed meeting up and more. He was a simp and let her make all sorts of excuses. At some point you have to walk away.

[@ThienNguyen-wh1fz]

Thing is he was also too focused on football to really question it. Also he had asked people he knew if they also know her and they all said yes.

I watched the documentary and was disgusted at how Manti's career was destroyed. The "trans" GUY should be in jail for what he did. Netflix played down his evil, selfish acts.

[@99yota30]

MSM totally got things backwards on this one...

[@rebelnpink1968]

I watched on Netflix and it was tragic how Manti's life was basically destroyed by a lying "thing"

[@paigeawin]

Netflix sucks so much, I would never subscribe to their service nowadays.

[@EverybodyUnite]

That demonic dance near the end, by the trans woman. OMG!

[@cristianhcm1914]

I know. What a joke

[@user-jp6of6tx6v]

Manti still living an adorable life. It's the outsider that we need to blame for being such a busy body of one's personal life😅

[@JustAName-it5qp]

I'm Samoan and this story was sad and that Netflix special was cringe af. Embarrassing and pathetic that they revere the over-expanded-woman-wannabe.

[@LunkovichTromofski]

Transformers and gay men catfishing straight men is actually disturbingly prevalent on the internet, there are entire communities centered around it where it is basically treated like a contest to see who can fuck with someone's life the most or longest

[@8145dwerdna]

There's a lot of them t- people on tinder and online dating apps for some f'd up reason. Completely ruined it.
