Former NFL standout Manti Te’o thanks all the supporters after the ‘Untold’ Documentary dropped | Wife is pregnant too!
After watching the Manti Te’o documentary I felt horrible for him. He truly fell in love with Lennay. Well Te’o is thankful for all the outpouring he has been receiving after the released of the “Untold” documentary.
Te’o took to his personal Instagram account to thank all of the well-wishers and those who offered apologies for things they may have said previously. Here is what Te’o said in full earlier this week.
“I just want to come on here real quick, just to give a heartfelt thank you to everybody that has come through and has shown so much love to me and my family, for your messages, for your comments,” Te’o said in the video. “I’m trying to go through all of them, and it’s been so amazing to me to hear the battles that we’re all facing, the challenges that we’re facing in our lives at this time, and how the documentary has given some of us hope, the extra push just to keep going.”
Te’o said seeing Naya in the two-part docuseries (streaming now on Netflix) was the first time he’d ever heard her side of the story, but her appearances didn’t come as a total surprise. In fact, Te’o practically orchestrated it.
“I’m grateful that Naya was able to go on there, and I’m sure it wasn’t comfortable for Naya as well, but I wanted it, I told [Untold directors] Tony Vainuku and Ryan Duffy I wanted it to be the story. That’s what was so great. Everybody said it’s my story. No, I wanted it to be the story. [Because] when this thing comes out I don’t want it to just be one-sided. I didn’t want it to just be me. I wanted it to be everybody. And again, it was the entire truth and I think that’s what people really love about it. There was no stone left unturned, and definitely, it was a powerful experience.”
Overall it was a great documentary, if you have not checked it out, I encourage you too! Manti Te’o’s Wife Jovi Nicole Engbino Is Pregnant After Netflix’s Catfish Doc Premieres! How can you get a better story than that!
