Ronaiah Tuiasosopo: Confused, Possibly Gay

According to Manti Te’o , he is not gay. In fact, he is far, far, far from gay . But Ronaiah Tuiasosopo? The man who has admitted to being behind the Manti Te’o girlfriend hoax that rocked a school and a country? Ronaiah Tuiasosopo Interview Tease In a preview of the interview that will run later this week, Dr. Phil appeared this morning on The Today Show and said of Ronaiah: “Here we have a young man that fell deeply, romantically in love,” he says, adding of the taped Q&A: “I ask him straight up… was this a romantic relationship with you? And he says, ‘Yes.'” So Phil followed up: “I said, are you then, therefore, gay? And he says, ‘Well, when you put it that way, yes.'” But the psychologist said Tuiasosopo then “caught himself” and clarified: “I am confused.” That much is certain. Phil says the 22-year old admitted to running the scheme, accepting responsibility but also saying a handful of life experiences have “damaged” him across the board. That much, sadly, is also certain.

Jeter scored a reasonable tax assessment in 2011: $68,673, Hillsborough County tax records show. But when construction finally ended on the seven-bedroom, nine-bathroom, waterfront behemoth that the Yankee shortstop designed specifically to his tastes, his taxes were knocked out of the park. The final 2012 tax bill for his digs is $265,671, said a county clerk. Keep ya mind off those hoes and make sure you affairs are in order sir. More pics of Jeter’s digs below.

You Need More People: Manti Te’o Denies Being Gay Despite Rumors He Created Fake Girlfriend To Hide Homsexuality

Do you believe him ? Manti Te’O Denies Being Gay Via TMZ reports : Manti Te’o just revealed … he’s NOT GAY … despite rumors he used a fake girlfriend to hide his homosexuality. Katie Couric asked Manti flat-out whether he’s gay because it’s the most obvious explanation for the bizarre “Lennay Kekua” hoax — but Manti replied, “No. Far from it. FAR FROM IT.” Manti also revealed Ronaiah Tuiasosopo’s full confession, which Ronaiah sent via Twitter, saying, “I completely accept the consequences to the pain I’ve caused and it’s important that you know the entire truth before anyone else.” Just when you though Te’o and his BS story had officially jumped the shark and entered into its 15th minute…. Ronaiah Tuiasosopo had intense feelings for Manti Te’o … feelings that developed over time that he channeled through a female persona, but the emotions — like the scam — were rooted in fantasy. Sources very close to Ronaiah tell TMZ … he struggled for years trying to adapt to the expectations of his culture, his religion and his family. Ronaiah, we’re told, never had a serious physical relationship with anyone and created a female persona online as a way to vent his feelings. 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. They were gay for each other and when his spot got blown up he made his boyfriend take the blame. The end.
