The Walking Dead: Shirlene's Catfish Faked His Own Death To Avoid Meeting Her

An online fraud “died” on this week’s Catfish -- however was then miraculously resurrected just two days later.


James, aka walking dead, was The world wide web paramour of a 21-year-old Arizona woman named Shirlene, who’d contacted Nev and visitor host Kamie Crawford for assistance. The problem? Shirlene and James had fallen in love, yet the latter was more than a little bit mistrustful. Get this: Any time the two connected through the phone, James wouldn’t actually speak -- Shirlene would do the talking, and James would text her his responses.


Yes, really.


Soon after that came more BS -- and the aforementioned fatality. “Suddenly, James was on the road a lot for work,” Shirlene mentioned. “Then he died.”


Although how, exactly, did Shirlene find out about James’ visit from the Grim Reaper?


“I woke up to a text from his sister saying he died,” she mentioned, explaining that a woman named Mya broke the bad news. Although give Shirlene a little bit credit -- she wasn’t purchasing it, and as soon as she texted James to call bullsh*t, he admitted he was alive and well.


“I know -- I have to explain,” he mentioned -- nevertheless alas, he never did.


Before long, Nev and Kamie had a number of suspects: First, there was Shirlene’s baby daddy (she had a young son), yet mostly, every sign on Earth pointed to her best friend Nicole, who Nev mentioned might have began to “catch feelings” for Shirlene.


So was Nicole the one pretending to be James? Nope. It was Mya, who wasn’t really James’ sister because James didn’t exist. She made the online profile, she mentioned, to fill the void left soon after her real sister’s death.


“I wanted to make design a friendship, to prepare build a bond,” she mentioned throughout the big reveal. At first, she denied having any romantic feelings for Shirlene -- then admitted she did, saying she was afraid to have a relationship with a woman. She eventually apologized for her ruse, telling Shirlene, “I’d be grateful if we can stay friends.”


So did they? Not really. Two months later, Shirlene told Nev and Kamie she hadn’t been in touch with Mya much and that she was “just attempting to do [her] own thing.” Although can you blame her? Or would you have forgiven Mya and stayed companions with her? Tell us what you would have done, then catch another Catfish Wednesday at 8/7c.
