Us Weekly: Te'o Hoaxer Ronaiah Tuiasosopo Auditioned For The Voice And Had A "Sob Story" About A Car Accident
And finally we've learned a little bit more about Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, the man we believe to have posed as Manti Te'o's girlfriend, Lennay Kekua. What we do know about Tuiasosopo so far? He sings. He's religious. He, like Lennay, supposedly got into a car accident. And we know that he knows Te'o.
And here's a little bit more, via Us Weekly. Tuiasosopo once auditioned for The Voice and came armed with a "sob story." Here's :
"He had this insane sob story before [he sang]," an insider reveals to Us. "It would make for great TV."
According to the source, Tuiasosopo told producers he and his cousins started a Christian band together and were on their way to perform at a youth conference in Nevada when they got into a "massive" car accident. He claimed a truck crashed into their vehicle, sending them flip-flopping all over the freeway. He also said doctors thought one of them might have been brain-dead, but miraculously, everyone was fine.
Tuiasosopo hasn't talked since all this broke yesterday (and he didn't respond to our phone calls and text messages). Know something? Drop a line: [email protected].
