Who Was This Week's Worst Catfish Offender -- Remy Or Mari?

A young mother was duped by a heartless, cold-as-ice catfish -- as well as the person she trusted most.


On tonight’s episode of the hit show, Angel, a 18-year-old from Texas, reached out to Nev and returning visitor sleuth Elle King because of her online beau Remy. Also 18, Remy lived nearby yet had never met up with Angel. Aside from phone calls, the two had FaceTime sessions, while in which Remy only saw “his forehead and up.”


Because that’s not fishy or anything.


Meanwhile, Remy was apparently a little bit subversive: Angel’s closest pal Mari soon announced that the catfish had attempted to come between the BFFs, telling Angel that he and Mari had slept with each other. Mari, meanwhile, mentioned she’d texted with Remy herself -- nevertheless only for investigative purposes.


“I was attempting to get him to send photographs of the apartment where he mentioned he was, and he wouldn’t,” said.


Although any time as soon as she showed Nev and Elle some of these texts, Elle was bothered by the fact that one took place at 4 a.M.


“I can’t stop thinking that Mari is aware something,” she told Nev. “Why would someone be talking to their best friend’s boyfriend at 4 a.M.?”


We’ll get to that, nevertheless first, let’s talk about Remy. Turned out, he was just some random guy sending fake pics and messing with Angel’s mind. And man, was he a d-bag.


“It was just something to do on my downtime,” he mentioned of his ruse. “I thought it was funny.” And the reason he agreed to finally meet Angel in person? “Who wouldn’t desire to be on TV?” He asked.


Then -- buckle your seatbelts for this one -- he dropped a giant bombshell.


“Mari came on to me. She sent me messages, photographs and videos, saying how she wanted to meet … talking about sex,” Remy mentioned, claiming he’d FaceTimed with Mari and shown his full face -- meaning she knew Angel was talking to a fake all along. “We spoke every night saying how she was going to do sexual acts to me.”


And he came with receipts, showing Nev and Elle all of these Mari texts, plus the photographs of herself she’d sent to him.


#BUSTED


So what did Mari mention as soon as confronted with all that evidence? She denied every bit of it, up until Nev and Elle wore her down and forced her to admit her betrayal.


“I’m sorry for not being real with you,” she finally told Angel. “I just didn’t desire to hurt your feelings. I feel like a terrible friend.”


All with each other now: Well, duh.


However who do you know was more terrible on this week’s episode? Was it the callous, remorse-free Remy, or was it Mari, who betrayed her very own friend and spun a web of multiple lies? Take our poll, then catch another Catfish Wednesday at 8/7c.
