    I found the documentary to be somewhat infuriating. Never did the perpetrator apologise or really own their behaviour, they merely played the victim. I don’t care what personal battles you may be overcoming, it does not give anyone the right to impact the lives of others. The events single-handedly ruined what could of been a HOF career. Didn’t even have the guts to apologise on camera. Makes me sick.
    The only thing Manti is guilty of being gullible.
    The media, and society as a whole let this young man down in a big way also.
    Glad to hear that Manti is doing well, happily married and seems to be at peace with his life.

      This is one of the craziest stories I've ever heard of. I keep thinking about how Tao going from a first round pick to 2nd cost him around $15,000,000, most of it being in the signing bonus. I would sue the scammer for all "they" have.

      Same with me. I don't even follow football but I heard about it on POTUS on Sirius XM and I had to come find it. Definitely the last part that Manti said was so inspirational.

  • @brandondo3180
    @brandondo3180 Год назад +22

    I resonate with Manti. I too was naive and was catfished in high school. For those who have never experienced something like this, it is hard to grasp and understand the true horror of it all. Similar to Manti, the catfisher eventually decided to "terminate" the relationship by faking a terminal illness, in my case, she had stage IV glioblastoma multiforme. She too pretended to take her last breathe over the phone as I yelled and asked "God why?" I hope Manti finds peace, happiness, and love in his new relationship with his wife.

      @user-sg8kq7ii3y Год назад +1

      For myself, I'm the opposite of Manti. I'm naturally suspicious and untrusting. Call it street smarts or whatever else. But I'm one who ASSUMES the worst in people, and I wait for them to PROVE to me that they can be trusted. Why am I like this? It's because I KNOW that all people, without exception, has a dark side. Even the most feeble, old lady has a dark side. It's just a matter if a person unleashes it or not.

    Damn Manti. I remember when his ND catfishing scandal broke and I felt bad for him, but more than that for some reason we kind of lost respect for him even though that was 100% undeserving. Looking back now, watching this video I found myself rooting for him and wanting him to win. He got the short end of the stick but was obviously incredibly talented and we will wonder what could’ve been in the NFL had some breaks gone his way. Good luck brotha I wish you the best.

    Got to meet and get to know Manti a lil as we both were on a Charity board together and as great of a Player as he was, and make absolutely no mistake, prior to his foot/achilles injuries, he was Pro Bowl/All-Pro caliber, he is a better person. Having Played the game 17+ years myself, I am extremely cynical of the public personas so carefully crafted for Pro athletes by their minions.
    That said, Manti is the Real Deal and just a super friendly kind humble guy without being sickening or self righteously so, as some can be.
    Great Guy with incredible family support and foundation and we still touch base a few times a year and he is happy fulfilled and harbors zero regrets or bitterness about the catfishing fiasco, his foot injuries or the way that his NFL career played out.
    As we were talking one evening and I'll never forget his response, though paraphrased, "how can I be bitter. I got paid over $10M to Play a game and set my whole family up for life. I have an Amazing wife and a Beautiful daughter. I think that I'm the luckiest man on earth."
    He really does believe that and his daily words and actions support that.
