“Tino is the girl that Manti has been talking to all these months”
Hoax mastermind Ronaiah Tuiasosopo’s pretty young cousin played the part of “Lennay Kekua,” the fake girlfriend he created, The Post has learned.
Tino Tuiasosopo convinced the Notre Dame grid star that she was the real deal, calling him at school, telling him she loved him and even sobbing hysterically when another girl answered his phone, several of the woman’s relatives said yesterday.
“Tino is the girl that Manti has been talking to all these months,” said a Tuiasosopo cousin.
The revelation shoots down claims by Ronaiah Tuiasosopo’s attorney, Milton Grimes, that Ronaiah altered his masculine voice to play the part of the chirpy, flirty Kekua.

What difference at this point does it make?

This is all such a load of garbage. If I was an NFL GM I wouldn’t draft this guy even if he agreed to sign for $1 and came with a free bowl of soup.

I like everyone is saying “who cares” yet they care enough to click on the link and comment. If you truly didn’t care you wouldn’t even give it the time of day.

So, she’s somebody’s pretty young cousin? Is she going to meet that football kid in real life? I hear he’d make a great husband. *splash!*

She’s a Samoan so no doubt she displaces 10000 tons and this is all a ruse to get her an NFL gig as a Linebacker.
