Te’o's girlfriend hoax?
In September it was widely reported that Notre Dame football play Manti Te’o’s grandmother and girlfriend had passed away on the same day. The standout linebacker and Heisman Trophy finalist played three days later and led the Irish to a win over Michigan State.
It was a heartbreaking, heroic tale but only half of it is true, apparently. The website Deadspin.com reveals the girlfriend, named Lennay Kukua, never existed.
