Ronaiah Tuioasosopo on Dr. Phil

Ronaiah Tuioasosopo was on Dr. Phil last night and what I saw wasn’t a surprise. I saw a man who, if you want my opinion, shared a lot of attributes with a woman we all know well:  Casey Anthony.  Dr. Phil even called him a “scam artist”.   Yes, I think that is accurate.

But do I think that he is the “mastermind” of the Te’o hoax?  No, I don’t.  Was he a player?  Yes. Were there more than two players (Ronaiah and Manti) who concocted this story?  Yes.  Ronaiah revealed that in his interview with Dr. Phil.  He leaked it out, if you caught it!

Do I believe Ronaiah was in love with Manti?  No, I don’t believe him–not at all.  Do I believe Ronaiah believes he is gay?  No, I don’t.

Ronaiah is someone who can look you straight in the face and say something he knows is not true–without any hesitation.  But you don’t even have to see through that to spot his dishonesty.

I have said from the beginning that the voicemails of Lennay are that of a woman, and the true test for Ronaiah would be to demonstrated that voice–exactly as Dr. Phil did, and as you can see in the video, he can’t do it.  Who is surpised?

According to Dr. Phil’s experts, the chances that was Ronaiah’s voice is one in ten million.  And what that tells us is Manti never heard a woman on the phone all these months as he tells us, and that means his story is deceptive as I have said from day one!  Yes, these two talked and they knew who they were talking to–I have no doubt about that. 

Ronaiah gives so many hot spots to the story he tells us on Dr. Phil that I could literally write a book about him, like I could on Manti Te’o.

One of my favorite clues is how both of these men talk in third person when they are giving us “fudge”, and then go back to first person when they recount something true! It’s fascinating to watch.

I also can’t help but notice how Ronaiah is manipulative and thinks on his feet as he talks most of the time. He is not a man who talks from the heart — a good indication of sincerity.

Ronaiah leaked out the real reason he did what he did–to help out his friend — yes, that is the truth.
