for two years now.
- I caught real deep feelings.
- But it's not adding up.
- Oh, boy. - [gasps]
She's a liar. She's a liar.

- This is the original social media.
- What would be the modern-day that?
- A BuzzFeed quiz or something. - Right.
- Which "Catfish" host are you?
- All right, I don't know exactly how to do it.
But all right, let's try it. - Max.

- And then reveal. - Okay.
You got Red and Jalissa? - Oh, no.

Bawk, bawk, bitch."

[gasps] What?
- All right. Interesting.
Enough games and fun. We have work to do.
[stammers] I have a DM.
"Hey! This is Tony.
"I'm 25 from Cincinnati, and I've been talking
to this girl, Tiana, for two years now."
- ♪ Hey, baby, hey, hey ♪
♪ You got me feelin' punch-drunk crazy ♪
- "She's beautiful, and we talk every day.
"She lives on the west coast,
so meeting was never an option."
- ♪ Your blessings, all I ever wanted ♪
- "The thing is, she always has an excuse
for why she can't video chat."
- ♪ I'm stressed, you got me feelin' nauseous ♪
- "I love your show,
"but recently when I was watching it,
"it hit a little too close to home.
"I realized this could all be a lie.
It made me sick to my stomach FR."
- For real.
- "Tiana is everything I want in a girl.
"I seriously would drop everything for her,
"but when things are going good with us,
she disappears for days."
- ♪ I just wanna cry like lizards ♪
♪ See, I thought I had a chance ♪
♪ But I guess not ♪
- "I'm questioning everything.
Hope you call. Tony."
- He sounds like a hopeless romantic.
You guys will get along.
- [groans] - [laughs]
- All right, let's call him.
[line trilling]
Tony! - Oh, my God, hi.
- Oh, I gotta take my chain out.
Dang, I gotta take my chain out.
Okay, okay. [laughter]
- How are you? What's going on?
- I'm good. - Nice.
We read your DM. How did you meet Tiana?
- I met her on Facebook. She actually added me.
She was cute. Like, I ain't even gonna lie.
I'm like, "Oh, my God. She bad."
- And so, what did you say?
- I told her she was cool.
And she look like a little model.
- She looks like a model? - Yeah, she really do.
- Uh-oh. - Is she a model?
Or does she just look like a model?
- I don't know. I asked her.
She just said that she in the Navy
and she 22 years old.
She got a son.
- She lives on the west coast? - Yeah.
She's staying in San Diego.
- So you've been talking to her for two years,
but every time you ask to video chat, she has an excuse?
- Yes, every time I ask to video her,
it's like either she's putting her son to sleep,
or she not videoing right now, she at work.
- So she also has a job outside of the Navy?
- Yeah, she was working at Target.
- You guys talk on the phone a lot?
- Yeah.
- Have you ever heard her talk to the kid?
- Nah.
- How old is her son supposed to be?
- Two.
- Do you ever seen pictures of them together?
- Nah. [dramatic musical sting]
- So what do you like about her
other than the way that she looks?
- Her mother skills.
Like, me growing up in foster care,
I was in 24 different foster homes.
- Oh, wow.
- So her being a mother, he ain't in a foster system,
being well tooken care of as I could tell, so--
- It's commendable that she's taking care of her son,
but there's no real proof yet that she has a kid,
or that she even is who she says she is.
- Does she talk about, like, being in the Navy a lot?
Is that-- - Not no more.
I think she a stripper now.
- You said she worked at Target.
- Target probably, like, a side little job,
but Target could've been before.
- So why do you think that she might be a stripper?
- I don't know.
Like, she'll say, "I'm about to go dance,"
so, you know, sometime that mean stripping.
- Well-- - Okay.
- Have you guys sent sexual photos back and forth?
Tell the truth. - Yeah.
She sent me one of her playing her [bleep] and stuff.
- Wow. - Oh, my God.
- [chuckles]
- Two years is a long time to spend talking to someone
who lives really far away.
- Yeah.
- Why are you investing so much energy and time
into this relationship?
- I like her vibe. Her vibe is real cool.
Like, she could talk about different things
for hours and still have me interested
in what she gotta say.
And if she really who she says she is, then damn.
But if she not, then--
both: Damn. - [laughs]
- I watch y'all show all the time,
so I'm looking like,
y'all always find out the person, if they real or not.
- If you meet her and she is who she says she is,
how are you gonna make this work?
- I'm gonna really try to make everything in my power
to make things work.
I'm gonna wanna move out there.
- Okay, you're ready to say goodbye to Cincinnati.
- Yeah, we don't got no beaches up here.
We don't got nothing up here.
- So you could just fly to California now.
We could figure out if she's actually in San Diego.
And if she is, then we could just drive down there.
And if she's not, then we could go wherever she is.
- Right, 'cause San Diego's not far from LA.
- No. - Yeah.
- And then you can come and see
if you really like this Cali lifestyle.
- Yeah. - All right, man.
Well, well, I guess we'll see you soon then.
- All right, bye, y'all. Thanks.
- Bye. - Later, Tony.
- Bye.
- I mean, he's obviously getting catfished.
- Obviously.
- I'm not even sure she has a kid.
- No, it sounds like most of his...
infatuation with this girl is tied
to everything that he's been through and the fact
that he thinks that she's a really good mother,
so if she's not any of those things,
then she's not what he has made up in his head
and she's also a liar.
[notification chimes] - Oh, what's this?
Tony texted. He said,
"Here's what I got about her. I know y'all want this stuff."
Oh, 'cause he's seen the show. Oh, so he's just giving us--
- Oh, he's quick. - Here we go.
"Her name is Tiana [bleep]. She's 22 and her Facebook page.
She also sent me this address once."
And it's in La Mesa.
Where is that? Is that near San Diego?
Let's see. Where is that?
Yeah, it is an address. Yeah, outside San Diego.
- Not far.
- There's even, like-- it's a house.
- Okay. - Let's see.
She got her Facebook page here.
Okay, so here's her profile picture.
Okay, she's very pretty.
- She's definitely provocative.
Wait, look at that picture with the car.
- That's the same house. - That's the house.
- That is that same house,
so that might really be her address
'cause she even said this is, like, her new car.
And, "This new ride be poppin'."
- California license plate. - California license plate.
In front of the house at that address,
so if there's anything true about her,
I think it's the address.
- That's her house.
- Tony's in Cincinnati right now.
We're gonna get him a flight here tomorrow,
but we don't usually have an address
that matches something on the profile,
so we could have him meet us in San Diego.
We could go now. - Pop up.
- And so that when he does get here,
we're already in pursuit.
- We're really switching it up. - Are you ready?
Let's do it. - Let's go.
Road trip.
I love an impromptu road trip. - Yeah.
- ♪ Yeah it's all all all ♪
♪ In your head ♪
- This is exciting. - Oh, we gotta call Tony.
He doesn't even know we're doing this yet.
- I know. Plans have changed.
- Tony.
- So here's the tea.
We found a clue from the address you sent,
so we are now headed to San Diego,
so meet us in San Diego.
- Yes.
- All right. Bye.
- I would love for Tiana to be this young mother.
- But why is that girl in the photos
not willing to FaceTime?
That doesn't make any sense to me.
- Right, and why doesn't she
have a photo of her with her kid?
Like, of course she would have. You know what I mean?

♪ In your head ♪
♪ ♪
- All right, we are really close now.
- I hope she's there.
- Well, if the car's in the driveway,
then we know she's home.
And then, we have to decide what we wanna do.
- Oh, my God. I'm scared.
That's it. That's it.
- What? - That's the house.
Gray, white trim. - Yeah, that's it.
Okay. Ooh, there is a car.
We have a different car. - Different car.
[whispers] All the blinds are closed.
Oh, my God. Wait, I'm nervous.
We shouldn't do it. - [giggles]
- I thought I was about that life,
and now I'm--I'm nervous.
[laughter] I don't wanna go in.
Why do you have my side so close to the door?
- All right, but who's gonna come out of that door?
Look, I think we should just poke around.
I mean, that's the point, is to figure this out, right?
So yeah, we skipped a few steps, but oh, well.

Sorry to bother you and for all the cameras.
I'm Nev. - I'm Shavon.

- Kamie. Nice to meet you.
- This is-- - Weird.

- Have you seen "Catfish"? Do you know that show?
- No. - Oh.
I make that show and I got my crew here.
- Can we talk outside? - Oh, oh, sure.
- Thanks.
- We're here because
some guy messaged us
and told us that he was talking to someone,
and on their Facebook page,
they had a picture in front of this house
of, like, their car, so we just were curious.
Her name is-- - Tiana.
Is that someone that you are familiar with?
- I don't know no Tiana. - Okay.
Can I show you this girl, maybe to see if you recognize her?
- Okay.
No, I don't know her. - Okay.
- Do you know a Tony? - No.
- You're not in an online relationship
with some guy from Cincinnati?
- No, I'm in a relationship, but not with Tony.
- Okay, do you have a friend who drives this car?
Do you recognize this car? - No.
- And that's not your car? - That's not my car.

- Oh, this is me and my boyfriend's house.
- Oh, okay. - I lived here for two weeks.
- Oh, you just moved here. - Yes, I just moved here.

- No. - 'Cause--right.
Maybe she moved. - Maybe.
- How do you think we can get in touch with the landlord?
- Oh, I don't deal with my landlord.
- Oh. - My boyfriend does.
- Oh, okay.
- Could your boyfriend get your landlord's information?
- Sure, I can ask him. - Is he here?

- I don't know.
- She doesn't live here anymore,
if that girl's telling us the truth.
- Why she wanna talk outside?
- I wouldn't necessarily invite all of us into my house.
- No, me neither, but she just did it
in such, like, a shady way.
- Here's what I thought was the shadiest thing.
Never heard of "Catfish"?
Come on. - [laughs]
- Please.
All right, so let's go back to the hotel,
let's reset.
We've got some new information now.
We got her phone number. - So we can search it.
See you soon, Shavon.
She could've given us any name. Maybe her name is Tiana.
- Wait, well, isn't that photo--
isn't there, like, a date?
There's a date stamp, I think, on that photo.
- [gasps] Wait.
You're right. This was on Sunday.
- Just like a few days ago? - This past Sunday, yes.
[evil laughter] Gotcha.
Shavon is lying.
- Maybe Tiana was living there, but moved out,
and for some reason, only then later posted that photo?
- Stop making excuses for people.
That doesn't make any sense to me.
- Right, who knows what number she even gave me.
- [gasps] - Before we confront her,
we need to find out more about Tiana.
- Now we just have to track her down.
[funky music]
[knocks] - Hello?
- Tony's here. - Oh, great.
- He's waiting for us downstairs,
so let's go meet him.
[hopeful music]
- Hello. - Hey.
What's up, man? - How you doing?
- Good to meet you. - Hi, I'm Kamie.
- How you doing? - Nice to meet you.
- All right, let's go down here.
- All right.
- What do you think of Cali so far?
- It's way different than Cincinnati, I'll tell you that.
- Well, look, so we came down here yesterday
because when we looked up that address you sent us,
we noticed it's the same house she has in a Facebook post.
- For real? - So we drove by the house.
The car that she says is her new car wasn't there.
There was another car.
We knocked on the door, and some girl answered.
- What? - Not, obviously, Tiana.
But do you know anyone named Shavon?
Has Tiana ever mentioned a friend, or--
- Nah.
- Anyway, and so, Shavon told us
that she and her boyfriend just recently moved into that house
two weeks ago.
- Okay. - And in the moment,
we didn't realize that Tiana had only just posted that photo
in front of the house of her car less than a week ago.
- What? - So--
- It's not adding up. - Right.
So either Tiana just maybe lives in the neighborhood,
and randomly passed that house, took a picture of a car,
and was just like, "This is..."
I mean, maybe she lives across the street,
or maybe she really used to live there
and it's an old picture. - Yeah.
- Or maybe the girl we met is lying to us
and she does know more than she's told us.
Maybe it's a friend of hers. - Sibling.
- Right, who knows?
I would love for this girl, Tiana,
to be legit, to have a son,
and all the other stuff she's told you about herself
to be true, but you've pointed out
there are a number of red flags.
Like, have you guys ever talked about meeting up?
Have you ever made plans?
- I was like, "I would fly out there."
She always had an excuse why we couldn't make it up.
Stuff like work,
or, "I don't allow people in my house,"
or, "I don't allow people around my son,"
stuff like that, which I can get
because some people, when you're just meeting them,
they don't want you around they son.
- If we find out who Tiana is
and it is the person that you think it is,
what do you want out of that relationship?
- If she who she says she is,
like, I have real deep feelings.
- Do you guys say "I love you"? - Yeah.
She said she loved me first.
Like, she amazing.
I really--like, I'll be a father to her son.
- You're interested in helping her take care of her son?
- Yeah, I feel like what happened to me in the past,
me growing up in the foster system,
a lot happened in the foster system.
24 different foster homes basically.
- How old were you when you first entered the system?
- Like five. - Wow, it's so sad.
- That's why I feel like I don't want her son
to be lonely like how I was in the system,
like, when I ain't have nobody or nothing like that.
- It sounds like this girl is like your dream girl.
- Yeah. So...
- But I think the thing with her son
is the fact that there are no photos on her Facebook
of her with her son.
- Well, aside from the Facebook page,
does she have other accounts?
Does she have an Instagram, a Snapchat?
- Not that I know of. - Okay.
So she only has a Facebook? - Yeah.
- What about your texts? Can I see your recent chats?
- I got all the conversations. [snorts]
There's a lot of messages. - Is this Facebook Messenger?
- Yeah, that's Facebook Messenger.
- You guys talk a lot. - Yeah, we talk a lot.
- 'Cause you have-- I see audio calls.
You said, "Good morning." She said, "Good morning."
- There are a lot of heart emojis.
- Oh, here we go. Topless.
- Y'all about to see some weird stuff.
- Oh--ooh! - Oh.
- [laughs] - Wow.
I'm awake. My God.
You send her a lot of calls,
a lot of audio calls and video chats.
And she doesn't answer the video chats?
- She just ignores it? - Yup, messed up.
If you who you say you are, why you don't wanna video?
Why? I got hella questions.
- Well, look, Shavon is probably lying to us,
so before we roll up on that house again,
why don't we go?
We'll do some investigating. - Okay.
- You can come with us, see how we do it.
Hopefully we'll have a lead,
and at the very least, we can always go back to that house
and grill that girl a little bit more.
- And knock over her trash cans.
- Let's go figure this out.
All right, good to get you out of the hotel
so you can see a little bit of San Diego.

Let's see what that comes back with.
No name associated with this number.

just to make sure she's legit.
No results.

- Oh, and there's--look at her! - That's her.
- With way more pictures and videos.
- Dang.
- But she didn't tell you that she has other social media?
- Yeah. - Okay, wait.
Every post on this page
was made the same day.
They were all put up December 21st, 2016,
which is super weird. - That's very strange.
- Well, it feels like someone just put up
a bunch of pictures on this account
to make it as a fake account.
And then it was abandoned. - That's crazy.
- Not tagged in anything.
And there are likes, but there are very few comments.
- Some fishy's stuff.
- Now it's not impossible
that someone made a fake account of her.
Let's take a closer look at her Facebook page.
Wait a second. Details.
- Shawntiana. - Nickname is Tiana.
Also nicknamed Shawntiana,
so that is probably her name.
Does she ever call herself that?
- No, I never heard her call herself that.
- Okay, so this definitely changes things.
Let's do Shawntiana [bleep], San Diego
and see what happens.
What is this? Oh, my goodness!
Another Facebook page. I mean, oh, my God.
This goes back from, like, 2013, 2015.
I mean, this profile looks kind of legit.
There's lots of comments.
It would be a very elaborate fake account.
Maybe the real girl in the pictures is
this girl, Shawntiana, and the Tiana profile is fake.
- What about on Instagram?
[dramatical musical sting] - Shawntiana.
- Boom, look at this. We got an Instagram page.
At least there's pictures of her with her kid.
"Aww, I miss my baby, and y'all look pretty."
Shavon! - [gasps]
Shavon [bleep].
- That's the girl we talked to yesterday.
- What? - Shavon is a liar!
She's a liar.
- At the very least, she knows Tiana.
Maybe she has been pretending to be Tiana.
- [gasps]
Ooh, Shavon, honey.
- We gotta go back and talk to Shavon.
- All right, here's what we do know.
We know Shavon lied to us. - Right.
- There's now a direct connection
between Tiana and Shavon, so either Shavon is Tiana,
or Tiana is in that house.
- Somebody lying.
- Yeah. Big time.
- What do you think at this point, Tony?
- I have no idea. I'm confused.
I'm really confused.

"Don't come in here," so okay.
So we know Shavon and Tiana are different people.
- Mm-mm-mm, what did she say with at?
"If I wanted to meet, I could have done it yesterday."
So she's saying, like, "If I wanted to meet you,
I would've came outside yesterday."
- But I wasn't there.
- So she's being shady and she's being rude.
- But that means she saw us yesterday,
knew we were trying to meet up with her,
would've had a chance to contact us or you,
and instead of saying, like, "Hey, I wanna meet you,
"but I wasn't ready. Like, let's make a time,"
she sends you that video and, like--
- And a rude ass message.
That message, what I get from it--
and I could be wrong, but I rarely am--
says, "[bleep] off, I don't wanna talk to you.
"If I wanted to talk to you,
"I would've made that happen and I would've talked to you,
but I don't want to, so go away."
- But even just sending that message to me means,
"I wanna discuss this. I know what's going on."
'Cause if she didn't wanna meet and we had showed up,
she would've just blocked him, turned him off,
and, like, that would've been the end of it.
- Are we living in the same universe?
- No, I'm just saying. She's engaging.
- She's engaging 'cause she's saying,
"[bleep] you! Stop coming over my house!"
- But that's not what she said.
- "If I wanna see you, I'll come outside."
This is not a good sign, guys.
I hate to break it to all of y'all.
- Yeah, but see, I don't know. - What did you respond?
- All right, well, let's see if she gets back to you tonight.
And if she does, then we have an answer, great.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h- Kamie. Nice to meet you.
- And you know Tony.
[exciting music]
\hObviously, you’re you. It’s you in the pictures.
So it’s confusing to me \h\h\h\hwhy we’re here.
What’s up with all \hof your profiles?
\h\hWe found, like, an older Facebook--
- Oh, yeah,
probably from a long time ago \h\h\h\h\hwhen I was younger.
\h\h\hThat’s my Facebook since I’ve been an adult.
\h\h\hThe other stuff is, like, when I was younger.
- Okay, fine.
And you have a son who’s two? \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h- Yeah.
- And that’s it? \h\hJust one son?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h- Yeah. - What do you do for work?
- I work at a nightclub. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h- Dancing?
- No, it’s, like, bartending \h\h\h\hand stuff like that.
- Have you ever been \h\h\h\hin the Navy?
- No.
- It does say you’re in the Navy.
\h\h\h- Yeah, I know. - So that was a lie?
- Well, it says that because \h\hI was going to the Navy.
It was a process.
I never went to my boot camp, \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hso no.
\hMy son’s dad is in the military.
That’s about it.
\h\h\h\h\h\h- And then, do you work at Target?
- No, I told you I worked \hat Marshalls, Walmart.
Maybe you’re getting stuff \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hconfused
because I never worked \h\h\h\h\hat a Target.
- Very different. \h\h\h[laughter]
\h\h\h\h\h- Who is Shavon? Is she your roommate?
- Yeah.
- But on your Facebook page, you posted a photo of a car.
\h\h\hThat’s your car? - Well, that’s her car.
\h\h- But you posted it as if it was your car.
- No, my caption said, "This car is poppin’."
- It said, "New car poppin’."
\h- I guess it’s Shavon’s new car, or I don’t know.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h- I mean, that’s just how I talk.
- So did you tell Shavon \h\h\h\h\h\hto lie to us?
- I mean, yeah.
- And why did you take a video \h\h\h\h\hof us talking to her?
\h\h\h- ’Cause I just felt at the time, it was extra.
Like, I was not ready for that. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h- Why?
\hIt’s been two years since you first started talking to Tony.
- Tony, mm-mm. \h\h\h\hMm-mm.
- What is going on with you guys?
Why haven’t you FaceTimed?
\h- Honestly, I was going through a situationship,
but he knew about that,
and I was living with my son’s dad
and we was co-parenting.
\h\h- I know, but you can find five minutes to...
\h\h\hIs this a relationship that you were serious about?
- We friends.
- Okay, but Tony describes this relationship a lot differently.
So at the beginning, or at any point,
did you think that this could be more than friends?
\h\h\h\h\h- Yeah. Back then, yeah.
- So towards the beginning? \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h- Yeah.
[dramatic musical sting]
- But is it totally wrong \h\h\h\h\hof him to think
that there is something \h\h\h\h\hbetween you?
- Yes, because I’ve told him
\h\h\h\h\habout dudes that I’m talking to.
I always unfriend you.
I have unfriended you \hat least 30 times.
- Never, never. \h\h\h\h- What?
- [scoffs] \h- Never.
- I wish I could prove it, \h\h\hbut I can’t obviously
’cause we Facebook friends now,
\h\h\h\hbut I have deleted you multiple--a lot of times, Tony.
- Never.
- Have you flat-out \h\h\h\htold him, like,
"I’m not interested. \h\hStop calling me"?
- Yes, there have been times \h\h\h\h\h\hwhere I told Tony
\h\h\hstop calling me and stop texting me.
\h\h\hHave I, or have I not? - You only told me one time.
- Okay, one time. And what you do?
You still hit me up, right?
- ’Cause if you hit me up, \h\h\h\h\h\h\hI call back.
\h\h- Oh, my God. So I called you?
- You called me that day
talking about something \h\habout some [bleep].
I don’t know what the [bleep] \h\h\hyou was talking about.
\h\h- Tony, you sound dumb, and honestly, you’re pushy.
\h\h\h\hYou’re extra. You’re disrespectful.
I mean...
\hSo-- - What?
- Nah, I said--
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h- You said, "I knew you was a thot."
\hWhat was I doing to make me a thot?
- You talk to hella people. \h\h\h\h\h\hWhat you mean?
- Okay, but you lied \h\h\h\habout a kid.
- I never did lie.
\h\h\h\h\h- You told me you didn’t have a kid,
and then a kid just appeared \h\h\h\h\h\hon your Facebook.
- Wait, do you have a kid?
- Yeah, I got a son. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h- What?
How old is your son? \h\h\h\h\h\h\h- One.
\h\h- That’s something that you tell somebody
that you supposedly \h\htalk to, right?
- I can understand \h\hbeing confused,
and a little surprised, \h\h\h\h\h\h\hand upset
to find out that a guy \h\hthat I’m talking to
\h\hdidn’t mention that he has a kid.
\h\h\h\hI’m surprised that I didn’t know he had a kid.
- Me and my baby mama \h\h\hwasn’t talking.
Me and my baby mama don’t talk.
We [bleep] around two times, \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hthree times.
\h\h\h\h- Did you know that your baby mama was pregnant
\h\h\hwhen she was pregnant, or did you not find out--
- I didn’t find out \h\h\huntil after.
- Hold on a second.
All of this is irrelevant
\hif you don’t actually have feelings for him.
- Well, it went out the window \h\h\h\h\honce he did all that.
- So you did? \h\h\h- Yup.
- So your interest in Tony \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hwas real,
\h\h\h\hbut over time, you just lost interest?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h- Yeah. Y’all don’t understand.
Tony can get annoying \h\h\h\h\has [bleep].
\hLike, he blows me up, and I don’t like that.
To be honest, I even told you \h\h\h\h\h\hI could be busy,
I could be busy with my kid.
\h\h\h\h\hWhen you blow me up and call me, like, 10 times,
\h\h\h\hI just feel like you’ve been stalking me.
[dramatic musical sting]
\h\h\h\h- Can we see some of the messages?
- Okay, so...
\hThat’s Tony. Tony two times.
Tony, and Tony five times.
\h\h\h\h\h- But you’re saying he blows your phone up a lot?
- He blows me up.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHe do stuff that he don’t need to be doing.
\h\h\hLike, I don’t like that blowing me up stuff.
I don’t like that.
- We see the phone records.
[dramatic musical sting]
- Clearly...there’s more to the story.
There’s two sides, for sure.
Maybe now, we can talk to you guys separately
and just sort of feel this out
\h\h\h\h\h\h\has to where we’re gonna go with this
that is the best for each of you?
\h\h\h- Yeah. - All right.
Well, we’ll see if we can dig a little deeper.
- You’ve got some explaining \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hto do, buddy.
Like, come on.
- You've got some explaining to do, buddy.
So clearly there are bits and pieces of this story
that you have been leaving out for whatever reason.
- Everything was the truth. Tiana just lying.
- But how is it the truth if you're telling us
that you didn't hit her up today,
you didn't call her except for the one time?
- I did call her one time. - You didn't blow her up?
But you texted her all that [bleep]?
Like, come on. - Oh, yeah.
I don't know 'cause I wanted to know answers.
- Yeah, but that's fine, but at the same time,
like, if somebody's not responding to you,
at some point, you have to take a [bleep] hint.
- [clicks tongue]
- It's clear that you have over and over again
engaged with him. - Yeah.
- Somehow, he got the impression
that you guys were much more serious than you thought.
But, like, you understand that you've given him mixed signals?
- Yeah. Mm-hmm.
- Over the last two years. - Sometimes.
- Is that fair to say? I mean...
- Kind of.
I mean, I don't wanna call him a stalker or nothing like that,
but he is delusional, so--
- You say delusional.
Is that because you think he's crazy to imagine
that he has a chance to be with you?
- Hmm, he just--like, he claims me in general.
Like, he tells people that I'm his girl.
I think that's delusional.
Either you know that we're not in a relationship--
we've never been in a relationship.
And we never discussed it like,
"Oh, we're gonna be together," and stuff.
I've never told Tony that ever.
- Now you need to be really, really clear with him.
- Okay.
- Because if you're not interested in him
and a relationship, you need to make that very clear to him.
- Okay.
- So what's up with calling her a thot?
- I don't know. She was acting like a thot.
She do be acting like a thot.
- If you think these things about her,
then why keep talking to her?
Why not just let it go? - I'm cool on her.
If she text me...
And then make a video with a girl,
post it on my Facebook, and say, "My new little bitch."
- Don't go home and do some petty [bleep]
and not expect for her to say something about it.
- I'm not gonna do no petty stuff!
I'm gonna--I ain't gonna talk to her
unless she texts me and say something,
and I might say hi.
- Honestly, you both just need
to stop talking to each other forever.
But I think moving forward with women just in general,
it's just, like, being honest upfront.
If a guy that I'm talking to calls me a bitch and a thot,
that's the last conversation that we will ever have.
Don't be calling no women no bitches no more.
- I got it.
I'ma gonna handle it like a professional man.
[giggles] - Okay.
We're having a lesson in how to treat women.
- Well, if we want, we can go upstairs, talk.
You guys can talk a little bit more
and we can figure this out.
- I'll finish talking.
- All right, let's go.
[tense music]
Why don't we all have a seat?
We can talk like adults,
like respectful adults.
- Respectful.
- I think it's important that you guys are
finally meeting each other, clearing the air,
being clear with each other.
I think you guys both do have things
you wanna say to each other.
Does anyone wanna start? - Go ahead.
- Yeah, I do [bleep] with you. I [bleep] with your vibe.
Like, I like your vibe and [bleep].
- I just don't appreciate that, you know,
you're just talking about, I'm a thot and all that.
- You ain't no thot. - But you--
- Like I don't feel like you a thot,
but it just--I got mad for me coming all the way down here.
I ain't think you was gonna meet up.
I just got mad. Like, damn.
- But, like, that's childish as [bleep].
- 'Cause I--
- But I'm just saying that's childish.
- I wanted to meet, like-- - Okay, listen.
Listen, that's childish as [bleep], though.
Like, "Oh, well, since--"
- Speak for yourself. - You was wrong too.
- You guys have been, for whatever reason,
choosing to be kind of rude to each other.
Recognize that your behavior has led to a situation
that's less than ideal, and hopefully apply that knowledge
across all of your relationships.
- So what are we doing from this point on?
- Well, I feel like maybe we shouldn't be friends.
[dramatic musical sting]
- You ain't had to say all that now.
Damn.
- It is what it is.
- Okay, that's all. I hear you.
- This is a good place to leave it.
