Deadspin is now saying the girlfriend never existed. Te'o is now saying he was the victim of a hoax, in which case the explanation released by the Te'o family is very......just....I. Keep in mind though this is just from scanning articles about a story I learned no less then 10 minutes ago.

I imagine this will give you the clarity you seek.
Manti Te'o's Dead Girlfriend, The Most Heartbreaking And Inspirational Story Of The College Football Season, Is A Hoax

i had read that, still confused.

he's saying that he considered her to be his gf, but she was using a fake idenitity? is he trying to say that this girl faked her own death and that for all he knew, she was dead?

I take it that the girl did him wrong in deceiving him about her death. But he then turned that story on its head as if it had been true so that he could spin it into positive publicity.

If I have this right, that's messed up all around.
