Catfish Con: This Young Woman Was The Victim Of 'Master Manipulation'

A college freshman discovered she was being doubly duped on this week’s Catfish.


The tale unfolded as soon as whenever a girl named Janisa wrote in about her roommate Aubri, who’d been talking to a guy named Brian since they met on Snapchat two months before. Yet any time Nev and visitor host du jour, style model Slick Woods, traveled to Blinn College in Texas to investigate the case, they immediately noticed that Brian’s pictures belonged to another guy. Still, they considered “Brian” was certainly nearby, as he knew about all of the college’s hotspots.


That led Nev and Slick all around campus, where they met a RA named Frances. She swiftly took them to the rec center, and on the way, she got a text saying, “If they ask you, Courtney doesn’t know about Brian.”


Huh? Well, turns out, Courtney was Aubri’s other roommate, and the text was sent by their very own RA, Patrick. Any time confronted, Patrick claimed he sent the text simply to remind Frances to not disclose intelligence about residents, nevertheless Slick wasn’t purchasing it.


“Not that believable,” she said.


So right now, Nev had three suspects: Patrick, Courtney, and Janisa herself, because, as he put it, “Anytime a friend writes in, that habitually sets off an alarm bell.”


Nevertheless who was the catfish? Drum roll, please… Courtney.


“I really have a lot of feelings for you … [but] I didn’t know what to do,” she explained once finally revealing the ruse. Nevertheless get this: She had a whole lot of assistance.


“I was talking to Janisa about how I felt about you, and she was basically helping me come up with ideas,” Courtney mentioned. “She actually created the Brian Snapchat. She did everything.”


And Patrick?


“I asked Patrick to help come up with some way of getting me out of this,” Courtney said.


In her defense, Janisa later claimed she helped catfish Aubri with good intentions. “The objective was to get Courtney to come out to you and let you know how much she cares about you,” she instructed her pal.


So why’d it go on for so long? “I didn’t aspire to walk up to [Aubri] and be like, ‘Hey, I’ve been lying to you.’ It’s already been hurting me,” she said.


Slick’s reaction? “I don’t like your response – the ‘because I was hurting’ [part],” she mentioned. “It’s routinely, ‘I,’ ‘I,’ ‘I,’ ‘I.’ I’m just not here for the sob story … That puppeteering is master manipulation.”


Aubri, meanwhile, mentioned she felt “betrayed” and reported that she couldn’t be companions with either Janisa or Courtney. However apparently, she had a change of heart, as, two months later, she told Nev and Slick by way of the videochat that the three were working on their friendships.


However how do you feel about the sham? Could you have given amnesty to Courtney and Jalisa, or would you have kicked them both to the curb? Tell us how you’d roll, then catch another Catfish on Wednesday at 9/8c.
