Catfish: The TV Show (2012–…): Season 4, Episode 5 - Chitara & Priscilla - full transcript
A woman searches for answers when her relationship ends unexpectedly.
>> Oh, man.
I can see her house on the GPS.
>> This is even more crazy.
'Cause just back in August
I was literally up this way.
>> Oh.
Just don't even know
who this person is gonna be.
>> This ain't nothing how she
described her house to be.
>> My hands are shaking.
>> I don't even know
what I'm feeling right now.
>> Hi, I'm Nev.
and I'm jumping into
the fourth season of Catfish.
>> Gonna have a heart attack.
>> But starting off,
things are a little different.
We don't have Max.
>> Action.
>> My co-host is directing
We Are Your Friends,
his first feature film
starring Zac Efron.
So, for five episodes...
>> What's up, Nev?
>> I'll be on the road
with guest partners...
>> Catfish!
>> What's this, a TV monitor?
Whoo!
>> But the mystery--foot fetish?
>> Don't you follow no angry
black man into their house.
>> Deception...
>> This could be
the biggest family betrayal
this show has ever seen.
>> Forgiveness...
>> There might be hope for you
if you are honest
from the get-go.
>> And shocking twists are back.
We don't know what the hell
is coming out of that house.
>> What the [bleep]?
>> This is Catfish: The TV Show.
Hi, and welcome back to the Nev
spends a lot of time
alone in hotel rooms show.
Nobody's here.
It's just big, empty, cold bed.
No Max.
But in the meantime,
the show must go on.
This next co-host is someone
who is, in fact,
partially responsible
for Max not being here.
His name is Alex Shaffer...
>> I'll be okay.
>> He's a great actor.
He's an awesome young guy.
He just finished
shooting a movie with Max
and we're gonna Skype
him in right now.
Yeah! Hey, buddy.
>> How's it going?
>> In your observation of Max,
do you think you could kind of
bring a little bit
of that character to the show?
>> I mean, I could
channel a little bit.
Yeah, definitely, it's like,
his face when he's, like,
anxious is, like, kinda this...
>> Yep, that's so...
Yeah, he really
has that pinched brow.
Yeah, you got it.
[both laughing]
Let's get this thing
going and read this email.
The subject of the email
is, capital letters "OMG.
Who the hell broke up with me?
Help!"
>> So, they got broken up with?
>> But they don't know who.
>> Yeah, let's get into it.
>> All right,
hello, my name is Chitara.
I'm 28 years old.
Born and raised
in Durham, North Carolina
and a mother of two children.
I am reaching out to you guys
because I met a young lady
by the name of Priscilla
online six months ago.
Priscilla is 22
and is a professional nurse.
We met on a site called
MocoSpace.
From there, things took off.
We talked every day, all day.
I fell in love with her.
But, there were some concerns.
She told me that she
lived in Durham as well.
Whenever we made plans to meet
something always came up.
Even video chatting
with her was like pulling teeth.
Needless to say, we never met
or video chatted.
Last month, she told me
that she no longer loved me
and that everything she said
and felt was nothing but lies.
>> Oh, ow, that poor girl.
It's so mean.
>> I'm left with
so many questions.
Mainly, why?
I still want to meet her
and get the answers
to the questions that I have.
Can you guys please help?
>> I have been dumped
in such a way.
I was very close
to a girl in the past
and she really just
ended all ties with me and yeah,
I can relate to our lady,
Chitara here.
That's terrible.
>> To not even really understand
who that person is
and why they broke up with you
is like an extra sort
of awful element.
What do you think?
Alex, can you help Chitara?
>> I think we can help.
>> All right.
So, I'm gonna try and add her
to this call a second.
>> Oh, okay.
[phone dials]
>> Hey.
>> Hi!
>> Hello.
>> Hi, Alex.
>> You have two kids,
which is amazing.
Were you married,
or you had a boyfriend?
>> I was engaged to their father
at some point in time.
But of course I'm not now.
>> Would you call
yourself bisexual?
>> Yes, I've been interested
in females
for as long as I can remember.
I met Priscilla on MocoSpace
and I just--I thought she was
very, very attractive.
What she said on her profile
interested me
because I could relate.
She was just saying
how she has been heartbroken.
We would stay up all night
just laughing and joking.
>> This is on the phone?
>> Yeah.
It got to a point
where we could not go to sleep
if we weren't on the phone
together.
>> That's really sweet.
That's, ah.
>> Yeah, well,
it's kinda cute now
that you think about it, huh?
>> Yeah, so, how could you over
the course of those six months
not meet up with her?
>> Honey, your guess is as good
as mine.
I never understood.
It was like every time,
something came up.
>> You've watched the show.
>> Yes, and I really started to
feel like I was being Catfished.
And I brought it up
in a conversation.
I was like,
am I being Catfished?
And she was like, no,
I had a feeling
you were thinking that.
But that's not it.
It's just things keep coming up.
It was just really
suspect the entire time.
But I guess I was blinded.
And then she told me
that her mom passed.
That's when I could kind of
sense that things were changing.
She kind of withdrew from me.
And so,
I was like you seem distant.
She sent me this long message
and was like,
I am interested
in somebody else.
And it was a him.
>> It was a guy?
>> She told me everything that I
told you I felt was a lie.
Everything.
I'm like, really?
>> You guys were, like, falling
asleep on the phone together.
That's not--you don't fake
that unless, like, you're,
like, really, like, crazy.
>> This was only about a month
ago that you guys broke up.
Do you think
that you still love her?
>> I'm conflicted.
I loved her.
I did.
It was real for me.
>> This is an interesting
and new kind of story for us
because getting dumped sucks.
I want to help you.
>> Thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
>> Hang tight,
we'll be there, soon.
>> Bye.
>> See you soon.
>> See you, guys.
Okay, well,
I've got my marching orders.
I know what I need to do.
Let's start another crazy,
epic adventure
of Catfish: The TV Show.
What's up, dude?
>> I'm ready.
>> How you doing?
>> I'm doing good.
So, you're the new Max?
>> I am the new Max.
>> You feel like you're going to
do a good job filling his shoes?
>> I'm gonna do my best.
>> All right, I like your style.
Well then, let's do it.
>> Let's do it.
>> Catfish!
>> [laughs]
>> both: Hey.
>> Hi!
>> Hi, this is Alex.
>> Hi, Alex.
>> Good to see you.
>> Oh, look at that.
Right in there for the hug.
>> I just...
>> Come in.
>> Run in.
>> We got the whole crew
here, too.
>> Hi, crew.
>> How's the Bull City
treating you?
>> Bull City?
>> Bull City, I like that.
You got to put the fingers
out, yeah.
>> What was so special about
Priscilla that made you, like--
>> She just
was a little more mature
than most 22 year olds.
And she just seemed like she was
a genuine, caring person.
Sometimes being a mom,
it can get stressful.
And so, I would call her,
or I would let her know, like,
how I was feeling
and she would always offer
some words of encouragement.
When I needed her,
she was there.
And that's what mattered
the most to me.
>> So, she said she lived in?
>> Said she lived in Durham.
>> Lived in Durham?
>> But she would never tell
me where.
>> Have you ever, like,
called her out and asked her?
>> I asked, I was like, do you
really live in Durham, for real?
Be real with me.
Be honest.
Yeah, I do, I do.
I'm like, okay.
>> Before with the guy
who you had your children with,
had you had any girlfriends?
>> Yes, one serious girlfriend.
>> And were you public about
that with your...
>> No.
>> Friends and family?
>> No.
>> No, okay, so, that was a sort
of secret girlfriend?
>> Yeah, until I met Priscilla.
And when I met her
that's when I told,
like, my aunts and uncles
and I was like,
you know, I have a girlfriend.
I showed pictures.
Like, they was, like,
oh, she's pretty.
>> And how did your family
take it when you told them
that you were dating a girl?
>> Yeah, they were fine.
I was ready to be serious.
>> And then, just all
of a sudden out of nowhere?
>> I'm interested
in somebody else.
And what the hell?
>> Let's just see this girl.
Oh.
>> She's very pretty.
>> Here she is.
Kissy face.
>> I have lots of pictures,
thousands of text messages.
It was people who lived together
who probably didn't talk as much
as we did.
>> Well, these are like...
>> Full-fledged conversations.
>> Like, real conversations.
>> Yeah.
It had to me for me
to have come out to,
like, my family and risk
the possibility of everybody
being, like, the hell with you.
And so it's like,
what the hell happened?
What went wrong?
>> If we do end up
getting an explanation from her
and it makes some sense,
don't you think
maybe this could still work out?
>> I--I guess
she would have to come up
with a damn good explanation.
She would have to work her ass
off to get my heart again.
>> So, there is a slim chance?
>> She ripped my heart apart.
And, like, even now
sitting here, like,
reading over those messages,
like, it hurts.
>> You still definitely find
her sexy and attractive?
>> Help me no more.
She can still get the business.
Got to get--
>> Wait a second,
wait, she'll still get down?
>> She can still get
the business.
I'm--she bad.
>> Well, this just
got a lot more exciting.
>> Uh-huh.
>> You look at some pictures,
just to get the business.
>> All right.
>> She can still
get the business.
>> So, let's just get to it.
>> Thank you, bye.
>> For me it's strange
someone can go from being
an incredibly loving,
communicative person
who talks on the phone all night
long to all of a sudden
just a cold, distant woman.
>> Really could be the case
that she is actually a lesbian
and that the people
in her real life...
>> Found out?
>> Yeah.
>> It was like, end that now.
So, it really could be anything
at this point.
Anything is possible.
>> Ready to crack this case?
>> Oh, yeah.
>> In a hotel lobby.
We're about to do a pretty
high-tech internet search.
And I'm just not confident...
>> Wow.
>> That my associate
in this investigation
is gonna be much service.
Could you just show everybody
the phone that you're using?
It's a 3, dude.
You don't seem to have
a tremendous amount
of appreciation for technology.
Anyway, let's get back
to our job here.
>> Let's do it.
>> We've got a 28 year old...
>> Chitara.
>> Who had a six month
relationship with Priscilla.
They talked very intimately
exchanging thousands
of text messages.
Sending sexy photos.
Then, Priscilla tells Chitara
she actually met a guy and
just sort of drops her.
At which point Priscilla
admits none of the relationship
has been real for her.
She's faked the whole thing.
Let's search
Priscilla's pictures.
Drag it in.
>> No match.
>> No match--okay,
let's try this next picture.
Nope, no match.
>> Not at all her.
You know what I think
our best bet
is to just check out
the MocoSpace next.
>> Priscilla's MocoSpace
profile.
Which is where she met Chitara.
Whoa, who is this?
Kolani has been posting
on Priscilla's page a ton.
Kolani wrote on Priscilla's wall
in May,
Ovoo last night was too much.
So, that's interesting 'cause
if Kolani Ovooed with Priscilla,
that would mean that presumably
two actual individuals
were talking and maybe even
looking at each other.
But then, why would she video
chat with this girl, Kolani,
and not Chitara?
>> It's absurd.
>> Let's check out
Kolani's MocoSpace profile.
Okay, "Just an Atlanta native
who loves dancing.
I'm 20 years old.
I'm a lesbian, so ladies
you are more than welcome
to hit me up."
Okay, let's just do a search
for Kolani [bleep].
Yeah, she's all over the place.
Lot of images.
She's got a Twitter.
Let's check that out
really fast.
Wow, 29,000 followers.
So, this girl
is, like, out there.
Let's just do a Facebook search.
Oh, my god.
There's a lot for this girl...
>> A lot of people became...
>> So, clearly, this girl
has a lot of fake profiles
of her 'cause there's a bunch.
If this girl,
whoever she really is,
has a lot of fake profiles,
I think it's safe
to assume that the profile that
we found of Kolani on MocoSpace
is probably also fake.
>> I actually had a friend
in high school
who was dating this girl
and she created a fake town
with people where she pretended
to be all these different people
and they would, like,
comment on each other's walls
and do all of these things
on Facebook.
And it was really just her
the entire time.
>> Right, so, it's possible
that Priscilla,
like your friend in high school,
also made up one or two others
to make her seem legit.
The person she talks to a lot,
Kolani [bleep]...
>> And the girl
she also said she Ovooed with.
>> Right?
Is likely fake.
Let's see, look.
Kolani, profile was started the
same exact time as Priscilla's.
Last login.
Priscilla, October 23rd.
Kolani's last login...
both: October 23rd. That's not--
>> Yeah, yeah,
that's not a coincidence.
>> All right, so these pages
are definitely run
by the same person.
>> Yes!
>> Yes, and if we know
one of them is Priscilla,
then she must be running
both of these pages.
>> We got it--we got something.
We got something.
>> Who is this girl, Priscilla?
And what would cause someone
to completely cut off the person
that they clearly
were passionately,
madly in love with?
>> Hey.
>> Have a look at this beautiful
picture window, right?
>> Wow, yeah.
>> What a view?
>> Morning, Alex.
>> Oh, god.
>> Let's go.
Come on.
We got to call Chitara.
It's gonna be comfortable
to sleep on this bed tonight.
>> All right.
We need to check in
with our girl.
[phone dials]
Hey, lady.
>> Hi!
>> We wanted to sort of just
check in and see
what you're up to.
>> Sounds like my kind
of afternoon activity.
Is that cool
if we meet you there?
Oh, you're going down.
>> Oh, no.
I'm beating you so bad
on go-karts.
>> You are going down.
>> Yeah?
>> Wonder who her friends are.
>> I hope it's not, like,
a whole bunch of, like,
girls my age so you can just
embarrass me the entire time.
>> Hope that her friends
can offer some good
insight into the situation.
>> Here we go.
With the cameras, all good?
>> No records.
Let's go find our girl, Chitara.
Hey.
>> Hi!
>> Chitara!
>> Alex!
>> Let's get to know each other
a little bit better by having
some fierce competition.
>> I'm gonna beat Nev.
>> Whoo!
>> How do you do that?
This is such [bleep].
>> Whoo!
>> Make up.
>> Technically, I didn't get
a good start in the beginning.
>> I'm over it, I'm done.
I'm over it, come on.
>> They said have fun!
>> I'm over it, I'm done.
>> So, when did you first
hear about Priscilla?
>> It came up in conversation.
She hides a lot of things.
>> Not just relationship
stuff, but?
>> No, I mean just things
that go on with her.
Family.
>> I mean, I'm sure
you can understand
and appreciate her sensitivity
towards openly discussing
her bisexuality.
>> I think as far as her family.
I think her friends she was
more open to telling everybody.
'Cause your friends
are not gonna judge you as much
as your family is.
For her to do this now,
on national TV.
She really,
really cares about Priscilla.
And...
>> I mean, I
think she might still love her.
>> She--I think she
does still have feelings.
It may even come to the point
where she sees her
and everything can be explained,
she might still want
to be with her.
>> I think it is about love.
Even though she says it's just
about getting answers
and closure.
>> It's about love.
>> Right.
>> People go above and beyond
for love all the time.
>> You got some good friends
here who clearly have your back.
>> Auntie, and Pud.
>> Yeah, what did you guys
know about her?
>> All I knew was
it was somebody in her life
that just put her in a funk.
>> You should open up sometimes,
you know?
Don't keep it all inside.
We're gonna take her, now.
We've got a lot that we've been
doing research-wise
in the last 24 hours.
We got some stuff to talk about.
>> Oh, Jesus.
>> Here we are.
>> Let's go back to where it all
started, which is MocoSpace.
We went back
to Priscilla's profile.
So, then we thought okay, let's
scroll down because there's,
like, a message board.
So, the other person that we
see posting a ton of comments...
>> Kolani.
>> Is Kolani [bleep].
>> I don't know if that name,
you know, sounds familiar
or anything.
>> No.
>> This comment caught our eye.
"Ovoo last night was too much."
Do you think if she's Ovooed
with Kolani then--
>> She's ovooed somebody,
video chatted with somebody.
What's the issue
with doing it with me?
>> Right--we thought, well,
if Kolani has seen her
and knows it's her then this
actually could be Priscilla.
So, we did a search
for Kolani [bleep] on Facebook
and found dozens of profiles
with the same pictures,
same name...
>> Name, yeah.
>> Crazy how many profiles
this girl has of her.
>> Oh, wow.
Okay.
>> So, what does this mean?
We went back
to Kolani's MocoSpace profile.
And we were looking at it,
and looking at it.
But then we finally noticed
holy [bleep] the profile
was started the same exact time
as Priscilla's,
and they have the exact
same last login.
>> Obviously, it's somebody
who has two profiles
at least at once.
>> At least.
>> Hm, but why?
Like, what's--I guess
what's the point of doing this?
Like, what do you get out of it?
Like, at the end of the day
when you go to sleep at night,
what do you get
out of doing this?
>> I think she gets you
out of it.
'Cause she was going
to sleep talking to you.
And what I find most
crazy about this is
she literally did this for you.
She posted it
from her other account
and then commented on it.
>> There's still a ton
that we don't know.
>> A ton?
>> We don't really
know who Priscilla is.
>> Yep.
>> We don't really even know
where she lived.
But what we do know
is that there's a very,
very high likelihood
that her MocoSpace profile...
>> And Kolani [bleep].
>> And Kolani [bleep]
are both totally fake.
It definitely suggests
a very dark or twisted
mind game that this girl
was playing with you
and potentially
with other people also.
>> Now, more than anything
I want answers.
More so than I did before.
'Cause there are more questions,
now.
>> The reality is,
the most effective way
that we can start
to get some real answers
is just to go straight
to the source
and call Priscilla.
>> Mm-hmm.
>> Come up with some kind
of a strategy of what we
want to say to her and see
if she'll meet up with us.
>> Yeah.
>> What can we say that it'd be
good for her to tell the truth?
That you really
need the closure?
>> Pretty much.
Wow.
>> I could text her.
So, hello, Priscilla.
This is Nev
from the MTV show, Catfish.
Chitara has gone through a lot
of trouble to try and meet you
and has even solicited our help
to make that happen.
If you still care for her
as much as it seems you once
did please contact me so we
can try and work something out.
All right, well, here it goes.
Now, I guess we just kinda
wait and see what happens.
>> Yeah.
>> But right now the ball
is in her court.
>> Pretty much.
Whoever she is.
>> Hey.
>> Good morning.
>> We have not heard
back from Priscilla.
>> She would definitely be,
like, you know, scared.
>> We need to get this girl
on the phone.
The last time you called her,
she answered?
>> Yeah.
>> Maybe you should call
from your phone
and if she sees that,
that might be our best shot.
>> I'll give it a shot.
It's worth a try.
>> It is worth a try.
[phone dials]
>> Hello.
Are you busy?
No, it's not strange.
He's standing right here
with me.
>> Hello, is this Priscilla?
Hi, this is Nev.
I am here with Chitara
and you guys
seem to have something
very special and real.
And so, we were wondering
if maybe you'd be interested
in taking an opportunity now
to sit down and meet up
and talk.
>> Don't make me flip out.
>> Okay,
while you maybe feel
like your life has sort
of moved on and continued
since then.
Chitara's feelings
are still kind of mixed up.
And she just would love to get
a chance to finally see you
and talk to you.
Which would be the thing
that would help her kind of
move on.
>> Do you want to say something?
>> No.
>> Obviously this is something
that's important enough to her
that she was willing
to go on a TV show.
And she's really kind of going
out of her comfort zone.
It just seems
like the right thing
to do to look each other
in the eye,
say what you need to say
and that would be it.
Okay, great.
All right, that's what
we want, too.
All right, so,
text me your address
and we'll head over
in a little bit.
Okay, thank you.
You okay?
>> I'm good.
>> You looked like you
were ready to burst.
>> She made it seem
like I was thirsty.
>> I understand, but I just...
>> I don't like that.
>> Don't want her to get to you.
Oh, I think she just texted me.
So, we now have our address.
She lives an hour and 15 minutes
away in Greensboro.
>> Let's go.
>> Let's do it.
>> There's probably
so many answers that you want.
>> Well, we're really doing it.
>> * This was always
* Meant to be
* And I feel it
* All around you and me
* So this would be
* The perfect time
* To throw it all away
>> With her it's like,
how could you have felt that
and now it's like, whatever.
>> Right.
>> Once I care,
I will always care,
and always want the best,
and will always
be there for you.
>> Well, in less than an hour,
we'll get the answers
we're looking for.
>> * How easily it goes away
>> Oh, man, I can see
her house on the GPS.
Like, I can see the little
checkered flag.
>> Oh, my gosh.
>> This is even more crazy
'cause just back in August
I was literally up this way.
>> Wow...you guys
were still together?
>> Yeah.
>> I'm nervous.
>> Me, too.
>> I'm sure.
>> Just don't even know
who this is person is gonna be.
>> Yeah, exactly.
Like, who am I gonna see?
This ain't nothing how she
described her house to be.
>> Just.
[big exhale]
>> Let's do it.
>> Oh, my gosh, this is crazy.
I can only imagine how you feel.
>> So far, I don't even
know what I'm feeling right now.
>> My hands are shaking.
>> Hey, how are you, Nev?
>> Hi...nice to meet you.
>> Nice to meet you, too.
>> I'm Nev.
>> Priscilla.
>> Sorry?
>> I'm Priscilla, or whatever.
>> Well, you're Priscilla
or whatever?
>> No, my real name's Ashanti
but you guys
know me as Priscilla.
>> Ashanti?
>> Yes, my name's Ashanti.
>> Okay, well,
I obviously came here...
>> Wow.
>> With...
>> I'm, like, oh, my god.
>> Chitara.
You don't mind coming over?
>> Hi.
>> This is Ashanti.
>> Ashanti.
>> Okay, you know Chitara,
obviously.
>> Yes, I do.
>> I'm curious.
How old are you?
>> 18.
>> So, you're a little younger?
>> Mm-hmm, yes, like, what?
>> A couple years younger.
Four, right?
>> Couple years then, yeah.
>> Okay.
>> Why?
>> Why what?
>> Why do all of this?
>> I tried to break it off.
I tried.
I tried to remove myself to you
plenty of times.
>> Not once did
you ever say I'm lying to you...
>> 'Cause I didn't know
how to say it.
>> And when we have, I opened
a window plenty of times.
>> Plenty of times,
but it's not 'cause I can just,
like, automatically get out
and tell you.
>> I opened a door when we had
the conversation about catfish.
>> Okay, you opened the door,
you opened the door,
you opened the door...
>> What did you say?
>> I say--what did I say?
I said I'm not...
>> Catfishing.
>> 'Cause that's my way
of retaliating that no
I couldn't lie to you,
even though I was lying
I wasn't able to,
like, fully come out to you
even though you opened the door
you so-called said.
Like, I didn't think
it would be that big of a deal.
I kind of thought that you knew.
But I didn't really--
>> How am I supposed to know?
>> I just assumed that you did.
>> How?
>> I got broken off, what is it?
Like when I broke up
in September--
>> Well, even if you assumed
that she knew you
weren't being totally honest,
which she was suspicious of,
of course at times...
>> Yeah, I know
she was suspicious.
>> There's no way
for her to have known
who you actually were.
So, the only way she would have
known that is if you had said,
like, look,
I want to talk to you.
>> When the only thing
you had to do was say,
and be honest with me, up front.
I am not who I say I am.
I am not 22.
I am 18.
>> Okay.
>> Like,this [bleep]
that you doing
is a dangerous game.
Like, real talk.
>> I understand.
I don't do it anymore.
You're the last one.
I'm telling you, like,
I'm through with everything.
>> Well, you know, I'm gonna
chalk all this up to the fact
that you're 18.
>> When did you turn 18?
>> No, it's not to--
I turned 18 October.
>> Just turned 18.
>> Just turned [bleep].
>> Yep,
just turned 18 in October.
>> So, this is weeks
of recently turning 18?
>> Yeah.
>> You have some seriously
growing up and maturing
to do because this whole...
>> Honestly, yeah--
>> [bleep] this whole [bleep]
was all [bleep] up.
>> Pretend I got a lot
of things to learn.
>> She's [bleep] just turned 18.
>> I think it's hard
for anybody.
>> Duh, we just
established that like,
a couple minutes ago.
>> I'm not talking to you.
I'm having a conversation
with myself.
>> Okay, conversation
with yourself.
>> Dismissed.
>> Bitch don't [bleep]
dip that [bleep] to me.
>> Dismissed.
Did she just call me a bitch?
>> Whoa, whoa, whoa.
>> I'm done. Like, I'm done.
>> Did she just call me a bitch?
>> You can just go.
You can just go.
>> Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
>> Did she just call me a bitch?
That [bleep] gonna
call me a bitch?
I ain't the one.
Come see me.
You remember you got my address.
Come see me.
>> Okay.
>> Kiss my mother [bleep] ass.
>> [bleep] you too, bitch.
>> Oh [bleep].
>> I feel like I could talk
to her for a minute.
>> Hey.
How are you, you know?
>> She's a baby.
This girl can't even sit
at the bar with me and drink.
[knocks]
>> Hi.
>> Hi.
>> I just wanted to have
a quick chat if that's okay?
>> Yeah.
>> Is there a story
or an explanation
you want to kind of just offer
or do you have anything
you want to say
since you're here now and?
You can understand
she's upset...
>> I know she's upset.
>> Obviously, right?
And so, she's just dealing
with it in the way
that she deals with it.
>> I am--let me not say
I'm not mad.
>> Yeah, 'cause I mean it's...
>> Let me not say I'm not mad.
>> This is a really...
>> Let me not say I'm not mad.
>> Crazy moment, right now...
>> 'Cause that's
an understatement.
This is a dangerous game
she playing.
A real dangerous game.
>> You really did care for her.
>> When you met her,
it was as the Priscilla profile?
>> Yes, as Priscilla profile.
>> Which you created and had
been using for some time or?
>> Yeah, I've been
using fake profiles for a while.
It all started when I was,
like, at least very young, 13.
>> Okay, so a story
that you told her,
you met somebody else?
>> Yeah, I met somebody
else early September.
>> A guy?
>> Yeah.
>> Okay, so is that accurate?
I mean--
>> Yeah, it's accurate.
>> I'm sorry to ask this but,
like, some of the stories
that you told her
regarding some family tragedies.
That stuff's not true?
>> That's some stuff
I really not want to put.
>> But your mom is...
>> She's alive.
>> Healthy, and alive?
>> Yeah, she's alive,
so that's--
>> I'm glad to hear that 'cause
I understand you told her
that your mother passed away.
>> Mm-hmm.
>> At this point I don't even
want answers to anything.
I'm [bleep] done.
>> You don't even?
>> I don't even really
want to know, 'cause
obviously there's some
[bleep] going on within her.
>> Sorry, I just can't believe
I'm talking to you face to face.
>> It would be different. Okay--
>> I never thought
I'd be on here, so.
>> Well, it can't come as
too much of a surprise.
You've been creating
fake profiles for five years.
>> I know, but I didn't think,
like, this would happen
right here.
>> I would like to talk
about maybe finding some time
tomorrow.
I don't want the situation
to end the way it ended.
We'll figure something
out for tomorrow.
>> Okay, all right.
Bye.
>> Wow, what a story.
>> This is some very,
very immature stuff.
There's something
not right there.
Everything a lie.
Everything.
>> She definitely was trying
to put it on you.
>> Do you feel like that was
an ending to this?
I don't.
I think there's
a very different person
that we didn't meet today.
>> This is something
that she does continuous.
This isn't like her first time.
She's done this before.
It's something
going on within her.
>> This episode of Catfish:
The TV Show continues now.
[phone dials]
>> Hello?
>> Hello, Ashanti?
Hi, good morning.
It's Nev with Chitara and we
were just discussing the idea
of coming to meet you if you're
willing to sit down with us
and have a heart to heart.
Great, see you
in a little bit.
All right, thanks.
I think maybe if we
come at her in, like,
a calmer approach.
>> Yeah, at that point
I can better understand why she
would do some of these things.
What was real?
Like, what part of what you
told me was really real.
>> Okay.
>> Can it be where, like,
ya'll talk and I just take in
everything that she's saying...
>> For sure.
>> And then after she
finishes I can comment?
>> For sure.
>> Okay, that'll work.
>> Okay, I think it's great that
we can all sit down together
and have a civil conversation.
I feel like the Ashanti
we met yesterday
is not really who you are.
>> Mm-hmm.
>> And yesterday
we found out that perhaps one
of the most personal things
about your mom
passing away wasn't true.
So, now she's kind of totally...
>> Yeah, and I feel bad
about that one, but--
>> How can she know
what's real or not real.
>> I mean, I know I
shouldn't have done it.
It's really bad, but yeah.
>> Over the last five years
you've had a bunch
of different accounts.
Most of them have been
using different pictures.
>> Mm-hmm.
>> How many people would you say
in that time you had,
like, a sincere connection with?
>> Not that many.
>> How did those relationships,
you know, end up?
>> I would just,
like, I don't know, I got bored
and decided to just move on.
>> Were they in love with you?
>> I honestly don't know.
Probably, but, you know?
I did have feelings for you.
I actually did,
even though I lied to you,
I really did.
I was actually able to, like,
talk about certain situations
and things that were
bothering me.
>> I just don't get it.
>> Sort of fill in all the holes
for us about how you got here.
>> When I was 13, it was
a whole bunch of drama going on.
And so, that's when,
like, basically my whole world
just fell apart.
It was really hard
because there was a time
where I was separated
from my mom.
Around that time she was trying
to find us a place to live.
And so, you know,
I decided one day, you know,
why not just escape and become
someone else for a day?
So, that's when everything
really started.
Like, you do anything
just to escape, you know?
>> Now, I understand
a little bit more about
your situation with your family.
What do you think
about Chitara and
how she feels
about this whole situation?
>> I mean,
I understand how she feels.
I feel the same way, really.
Like, just all the bad,
negative feelings.
'Cause I knew she didn't
deserve that, to be lied to.
I was scared, you know,
to actually, like confess
and kind of reveal my real self.
>> You can't keep running.
At some point you
have to face whatever it is
that you're going through,
and if you don't
it's a downhill spiral
after that, so.
>> I do appreciate it.
>> You guys ready to go?
>> Yes.
>> Yeah.
>> * If you come to find out
* Who you are
>> Nice to meet you.
>> It was nice to meet
you too, Nev.
>> Good luck with everything.
>> All right, thank you.
>> See you.
>> Good bye, everybody.
>> See you later.
>> * And if you come search
* For what is lost
>> Are you still mad?
>> Not mad.
>> I thought you handled it
incredibly well in there.
>> I guess the best answer
I could say is why she
did was to escape reality.
I guess that's the answer
to it right there.
Other than that,
as to why go to this extent,
and to involve other people
in it?
I don't think she knows why.
>> Oh, there we go, hey!
>> Hi!
>> Can you see us?
How you doing?
>> I'm doing great.
When we walked away that day,
that was it.
It was said and done.
And I kept it moving.
>> So, you haven't really
thought about her or felt,
or, like, talked about it?
>> I thought
about the situation,
but as far as her?
No.
Because if I could get it,
make it come back
and the same thing
can happen again my resolution
is just, you know,
do better, get better.
I'ma get there.
>> All right, well, I got to go.
>> Nice to speak to you,
and nice to see you, Alex.
>> Good seeing both of you guys.
>> All right.
>> Bye.
>> The most beautiful girl
I've ever seen.
>> I do have a feeling
that this could be the one
that I end up spending my life
with.
>> Double Catfish scheme?
>> All right,
get ready for anything.
>> Wait, this could be our guy.
I'm a little confused.
What do you think
is gonna happen?
1455
00:40:55.
I can see her house on the GPS.
>> This is even more crazy.
'Cause just back in August
I was literally up this way.
>> Oh.
Just don't even know
who this person is gonna be.
>> This ain't nothing how she
described her house to be.
>> My hands are shaking.
>> I don't even know
what I'm feeling right now.
>> Hi, I'm Nev.
and I'm jumping into
the fourth season of Catfish.
>> Gonna have a heart attack.
>> But starting off,
things are a little different.
We don't have Max.
>> Action.
>> My co-host is directing
We Are Your Friends,
his first feature film
starring Zac Efron.
So, for five episodes...
>> What's up, Nev?
>> I'll be on the road
with guest partners...
>> Catfish!
>> What's this, a TV monitor?
Whoo!
>> But the mystery--foot fetish?
>> Don't you follow no angry
black man into their house.
>> Deception...
>> This could be
the biggest family betrayal
this show has ever seen.
>> Forgiveness...
>> There might be hope for you
if you are honest
from the get-go.
>> And shocking twists are back.
We don't know what the hell
is coming out of that house.
>> What the [bleep]?
>> This is Catfish: The TV Show.
Hi, and welcome back to the Nev
spends a lot of time
alone in hotel rooms show.
Nobody's here.
It's just big, empty, cold bed.
No Max.
But in the meantime,
the show must go on.
This next co-host is someone
who is, in fact,
partially responsible
for Max not being here.
His name is Alex Shaffer...
>> I'll be okay.
>> He's a great actor.
He's an awesome young guy.
He just finished
shooting a movie with Max
and we're gonna Skype
him in right now.
Yeah! Hey, buddy.
>> How's it going?
>> In your observation of Max,
do you think you could kind of
bring a little bit
of that character to the show?
>> I mean, I could
channel a little bit.
Yeah, definitely, it's like,
his face when he's, like,
anxious is, like, kinda this...
>> Yep, that's so...
Yeah, he really
has that pinched brow.
Yeah, you got it.
[both laughing]
Let's get this thing
going and read this email.
The subject of the email
is, capital letters "OMG.
Who the hell broke up with me?
Help!"
>> So, they got broken up with?
>> But they don't know who.
>> Yeah, let's get into it.
>> All right,
hello, my name is Chitara.
I'm 28 years old.
Born and raised
in Durham, North Carolina
and a mother of two children.
I am reaching out to you guys
because I met a young lady
by the name of Priscilla
online six months ago.
Priscilla is 22
and is a professional nurse.
We met on a site called
MocoSpace.
From there, things took off.
We talked every day, all day.
I fell in love with her.
But, there were some concerns.
She told me that she
lived in Durham as well.
Whenever we made plans to meet
something always came up.
Even video chatting
with her was like pulling teeth.
Needless to say, we never met
or video chatted.
Last month, she told me
that she no longer loved me
and that everything she said
and felt was nothing but lies.
>> Oh, ow, that poor girl.
It's so mean.
>> I'm left with
so many questions.
Mainly, why?
I still want to meet her
and get the answers
to the questions that I have.
Can you guys please help?
>> I have been dumped
in such a way.
I was very close
to a girl in the past
and she really just
ended all ties with me and yeah,
I can relate to our lady,
Chitara here.
That's terrible.
>> To not even really understand
who that person is
and why they broke up with you
is like an extra sort
of awful element.
What do you think?
Alex, can you help Chitara?
>> I think we can help.
>> All right.
So, I'm gonna try and add her
to this call a second.
>> Oh, okay.
[phone dials]
>> Hey.
>> Hi!
>> Hello.
>> Hi, Alex.
>> You have two kids,
which is amazing.
Were you married,
or you had a boyfriend?
>> I was engaged to their father
at some point in time.
But of course I'm not now.
>> Would you call
yourself bisexual?
>> Yes, I've been interested
in females
for as long as I can remember.
I met Priscilla on MocoSpace
and I just--I thought she was
very, very attractive.
What she said on her profile
interested me
because I could relate.
She was just saying
how she has been heartbroken.
We would stay up all night
just laughing and joking.
>> This is on the phone?
>> Yeah.
It got to a point
where we could not go to sleep
if we weren't on the phone
together.
>> That's really sweet.
That's, ah.
>> Yeah, well,
it's kinda cute now
that you think about it, huh?
>> Yeah, so, how could you over
the course of those six months
not meet up with her?
>> Honey, your guess is as good
as mine.
I never understood.
It was like every time,
something came up.
>> You've watched the show.
>> Yes, and I really started to
feel like I was being Catfished.
And I brought it up
in a conversation.
I was like,
am I being Catfished?
And she was like, no,
I had a feeling
you were thinking that.
But that's not it.
It's just things keep coming up.
It was just really
suspect the entire time.
But I guess I was blinded.
And then she told me
that her mom passed.
That's when I could kind of
sense that things were changing.
She kind of withdrew from me.
And so,
I was like you seem distant.
She sent me this long message
and was like,
I am interested
in somebody else.
And it was a him.
>> It was a guy?
>> She told me everything that I
told you I felt was a lie.
Everything.
I'm like, really?
>> You guys were, like, falling
asleep on the phone together.
That's not--you don't fake
that unless, like, you're,
like, really, like, crazy.
>> This was only about a month
ago that you guys broke up.
Do you think
that you still love her?
>> I'm conflicted.
I loved her.
I did.
It was real for me.
>> This is an interesting
and new kind of story for us
because getting dumped sucks.
I want to help you.
>> Thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
>> Hang tight,
we'll be there, soon.
>> Bye.
>> See you soon.
>> See you, guys.
Okay, well,
I've got my marching orders.
I know what I need to do.
Let's start another crazy,
epic adventure
of Catfish: The TV Show.
What's up, dude?
>> I'm ready.
>> How you doing?
>> I'm doing good.
So, you're the new Max?
>> I am the new Max.
>> You feel like you're going to
do a good job filling his shoes?
>> I'm gonna do my best.
>> All right, I like your style.
Well then, let's do it.
>> Let's do it.
>> Catfish!
>> [laughs]
>> both: Hey.
>> Hi!
>> Hi, this is Alex.
>> Hi, Alex.
>> Good to see you.
>> Oh, look at that.
Right in there for the hug.
>> I just...
>> Come in.
>> Run in.
>> We got the whole crew
here, too.
>> Hi, crew.
>> How's the Bull City
treating you?
>> Bull City?
>> Bull City, I like that.
You got to put the fingers
out, yeah.
>> What was so special about
Priscilla that made you, like--
>> She just
was a little more mature
than most 22 year olds.
And she just seemed like she was
a genuine, caring person.
Sometimes being a mom,
it can get stressful.
And so, I would call her,
or I would let her know, like,
how I was feeling
and she would always offer
some words of encouragement.
When I needed her,
she was there.
And that's what mattered
the most to me.
>> So, she said she lived in?
>> Said she lived in Durham.
>> Lived in Durham?
>> But she would never tell
me where.
>> Have you ever, like,
called her out and asked her?
>> I asked, I was like, do you
really live in Durham, for real?
Be real with me.
Be honest.
Yeah, I do, I do.
I'm like, okay.
>> Before with the guy
who you had your children with,
had you had any girlfriends?
>> Yes, one serious girlfriend.
>> And were you public about
that with your...
>> No.
>> Friends and family?
>> No.
>> No, okay, so, that was a sort
of secret girlfriend?
>> Yeah, until I met Priscilla.
And when I met her
that's when I told,
like, my aunts and uncles
and I was like,
you know, I have a girlfriend.
I showed pictures.
Like, they was, like,
oh, she's pretty.
>> And how did your family
take it when you told them
that you were dating a girl?
>> Yeah, they were fine.
I was ready to be serious.
>> And then, just all
of a sudden out of nowhere?
>> I'm interested
in somebody else.
And what the hell?
>> Let's just see this girl.
Oh.
>> She's very pretty.
>> Here she is.
Kissy face.
>> I have lots of pictures,
thousands of text messages.
It was people who lived together
who probably didn't talk as much
as we did.
>> Well, these are like...
>> Full-fledged conversations.
>> Like, real conversations.
>> Yeah.
It had to me for me
to have come out to,
like, my family and risk
the possibility of everybody
being, like, the hell with you.
And so it's like,
what the hell happened?
What went wrong?
>> If we do end up
getting an explanation from her
and it makes some sense,
don't you think
maybe this could still work out?
>> I--I guess
she would have to come up
with a damn good explanation.
She would have to work her ass
off to get my heart again.
>> So, there is a slim chance?
>> She ripped my heart apart.
And, like, even now
sitting here, like,
reading over those messages,
like, it hurts.
>> You still definitely find
her sexy and attractive?
>> Help me no more.
She can still get the business.
Got to get--
>> Wait a second,
wait, she'll still get down?
>> She can still get
the business.
I'm--she bad.
>> Well, this just
got a lot more exciting.
>> Uh-huh.
>> You look at some pictures,
just to get the business.
>> All right.
>> She can still
get the business.
>> So, let's just get to it.
>> Thank you, bye.
>> For me it's strange
someone can go from being
an incredibly loving,
communicative person
who talks on the phone all night
long to all of a sudden
just a cold, distant woman.
>> Really could be the case
that she is actually a lesbian
and that the people
in her real life...
>> Found out?
>> Yeah.
>> It was like, end that now.
So, it really could be anything
at this point.
Anything is possible.
>> Ready to crack this case?
>> Oh, yeah.
>> In a hotel lobby.
We're about to do a pretty
high-tech internet search.
And I'm just not confident...
>> Wow.
>> That my associate
in this investigation
is gonna be much service.
Could you just show everybody
the phone that you're using?
It's a 3, dude.
You don't seem to have
a tremendous amount
of appreciation for technology.
Anyway, let's get back
to our job here.
>> Let's do it.
>> We've got a 28 year old...
>> Chitara.
>> Who had a six month
relationship with Priscilla.
They talked very intimately
exchanging thousands
of text messages.
Sending sexy photos.
Then, Priscilla tells Chitara
she actually met a guy and
just sort of drops her.
At which point Priscilla
admits none of the relationship
has been real for her.
She's faked the whole thing.
Let's search
Priscilla's pictures.
Drag it in.
>> No match.
>> No match--okay,
let's try this next picture.
Nope, no match.
>> Not at all her.
You know what I think
our best bet
is to just check out
the MocoSpace next.
>> Priscilla's MocoSpace
profile.
Which is where she met Chitara.
Whoa, who is this?
Kolani has been posting
on Priscilla's page a ton.
Kolani wrote on Priscilla's wall
in May,
Ovoo last night was too much.
So, that's interesting 'cause
if Kolani Ovooed with Priscilla,
that would mean that presumably
two actual individuals
were talking and maybe even
looking at each other.
But then, why would she video
chat with this girl, Kolani,
and not Chitara?
>> It's absurd.
>> Let's check out
Kolani's MocoSpace profile.
Okay, "Just an Atlanta native
who loves dancing.
I'm 20 years old.
I'm a lesbian, so ladies
you are more than welcome
to hit me up."
Okay, let's just do a search
for Kolani [bleep].
Yeah, she's all over the place.
Lot of images.
She's got a Twitter.
Let's check that out
really fast.
Wow, 29,000 followers.
So, this girl
is, like, out there.
Let's just do a Facebook search.
Oh, my god.
There's a lot for this girl...
>> A lot of people became...
>> So, clearly, this girl
has a lot of fake profiles
of her 'cause there's a bunch.
If this girl,
whoever she really is,
has a lot of fake profiles,
I think it's safe
to assume that the profile that
we found of Kolani on MocoSpace
is probably also fake.
>> I actually had a friend
in high school
who was dating this girl
and she created a fake town
with people where she pretended
to be all these different people
and they would, like,
comment on each other's walls
and do all of these things
on Facebook.
And it was really just her
the entire time.
>> Right, so, it's possible
that Priscilla,
like your friend in high school,
also made up one or two others
to make her seem legit.
The person she talks to a lot,
Kolani [bleep]...
>> And the girl
she also said she Ovooed with.
>> Right?
Is likely fake.
Let's see, look.
Kolani, profile was started the
same exact time as Priscilla's.
Last login.
Priscilla, October 23rd.
Kolani's last login...
both: October 23rd. That's not--
>> Yeah, yeah,
that's not a coincidence.
>> All right, so these pages
are definitely run
by the same person.
>> Yes!
>> Yes, and if we know
one of them is Priscilla,
then she must be running
both of these pages.
>> We got it--we got something.
We got something.
>> Who is this girl, Priscilla?
And what would cause someone
to completely cut off the person
that they clearly
were passionately,
madly in love with?
>> Hey.
>> Have a look at this beautiful
picture window, right?
>> Wow, yeah.
>> What a view?
>> Morning, Alex.
>> Oh, god.
>> Let's go.
Come on.
We got to call Chitara.
It's gonna be comfortable
to sleep on this bed tonight.
>> All right.
We need to check in
with our girl.
[phone dials]
Hey, lady.
>> Hi!
>> We wanted to sort of just
check in and see
what you're up to.
>> Sounds like my kind
of afternoon activity.
Is that cool
if we meet you there?
Oh, you're going down.
>> Oh, no.
I'm beating you so bad
on go-karts.
>> You are going down.
>> Yeah?
>> Wonder who her friends are.
>> I hope it's not, like,
a whole bunch of, like,
girls my age so you can just
embarrass me the entire time.
>> Hope that her friends
can offer some good
insight into the situation.
>> Here we go.
With the cameras, all good?
>> No records.
Let's go find our girl, Chitara.
Hey.
>> Hi!
>> Chitara!
>> Alex!
>> Let's get to know each other
a little bit better by having
some fierce competition.
>> I'm gonna beat Nev.
>> Whoo!
>> How do you do that?
This is such [bleep].
>> Whoo!
>> Make up.
>> Technically, I didn't get
a good start in the beginning.
>> I'm over it, I'm done.
I'm over it, come on.
>> They said have fun!
>> I'm over it, I'm done.
>> So, when did you first
hear about Priscilla?
>> It came up in conversation.
She hides a lot of things.
>> Not just relationship
stuff, but?
>> No, I mean just things
that go on with her.
Family.
>> I mean, I'm sure
you can understand
and appreciate her sensitivity
towards openly discussing
her bisexuality.
>> I think as far as her family.
I think her friends she was
more open to telling everybody.
'Cause your friends
are not gonna judge you as much
as your family is.
For her to do this now,
on national TV.
She really,
really cares about Priscilla.
And...
>> I mean, I
think she might still love her.
>> She--I think she
does still have feelings.
It may even come to the point
where she sees her
and everything can be explained,
she might still want
to be with her.
>> I think it is about love.
Even though she says it's just
about getting answers
and closure.
>> It's about love.
>> Right.
>> People go above and beyond
for love all the time.
>> You got some good friends
here who clearly have your back.
>> Auntie, and Pud.
>> Yeah, what did you guys
know about her?
>> All I knew was
it was somebody in her life
that just put her in a funk.
>> You should open up sometimes,
you know?
Don't keep it all inside.
We're gonna take her, now.
We've got a lot that we've been
doing research-wise
in the last 24 hours.
We got some stuff to talk about.
>> Oh, Jesus.
>> Here we are.
>> Let's go back to where it all
started, which is MocoSpace.
We went back
to Priscilla's profile.
So, then we thought okay, let's
scroll down because there's,
like, a message board.
So, the other person that we
see posting a ton of comments...
>> Kolani.
>> Is Kolani [bleep].
>> I don't know if that name,
you know, sounds familiar
or anything.
>> No.
>> This comment caught our eye.
"Ovoo last night was too much."
Do you think if she's Ovooed
with Kolani then--
>> She's ovooed somebody,
video chatted with somebody.
What's the issue
with doing it with me?
>> Right--we thought, well,
if Kolani has seen her
and knows it's her then this
actually could be Priscilla.
So, we did a search
for Kolani [bleep] on Facebook
and found dozens of profiles
with the same pictures,
same name...
>> Name, yeah.
>> Crazy how many profiles
this girl has of her.
>> Oh, wow.
Okay.
>> So, what does this mean?
We went back
to Kolani's MocoSpace profile.
And we were looking at it,
and looking at it.
But then we finally noticed
holy [bleep] the profile
was started the same exact time
as Priscilla's,
and they have the exact
same last login.
>> Obviously, it's somebody
who has two profiles
at least at once.
>> At least.
>> Hm, but why?
Like, what's--I guess
what's the point of doing this?
Like, what do you get out of it?
Like, at the end of the day
when you go to sleep at night,
what do you get
out of doing this?
>> I think she gets you
out of it.
'Cause she was going
to sleep talking to you.
And what I find most
crazy about this is
she literally did this for you.
She posted it
from her other account
and then commented on it.
>> There's still a ton
that we don't know.
>> A ton?
>> We don't really
know who Priscilla is.
>> Yep.
>> We don't really even know
where she lived.
But what we do know
is that there's a very,
very high likelihood
that her MocoSpace profile...
>> And Kolani [bleep].
>> And Kolani [bleep]
are both totally fake.
It definitely suggests
a very dark or twisted
mind game that this girl
was playing with you
and potentially
with other people also.
>> Now, more than anything
I want answers.
More so than I did before.
'Cause there are more questions,
now.
>> The reality is,
the most effective way
that we can start
to get some real answers
is just to go straight
to the source
and call Priscilla.
>> Mm-hmm.
>> Come up with some kind
of a strategy of what we
want to say to her and see
if she'll meet up with us.
>> Yeah.
>> What can we say that it'd be
good for her to tell the truth?
That you really
need the closure?
>> Pretty much.
Wow.
>> I could text her.
So, hello, Priscilla.
This is Nev
from the MTV show, Catfish.
Chitara has gone through a lot
of trouble to try and meet you
and has even solicited our help
to make that happen.
If you still care for her
as much as it seems you once
did please contact me so we
can try and work something out.
All right, well, here it goes.
Now, I guess we just kinda
wait and see what happens.
>> Yeah.
>> But right now the ball
is in her court.
>> Pretty much.
Whoever she is.
>> Hey.
>> Good morning.
>> We have not heard
back from Priscilla.
>> She would definitely be,
like, you know, scared.
>> We need to get this girl
on the phone.
The last time you called her,
she answered?
>> Yeah.
>> Maybe you should call
from your phone
and if she sees that,
that might be our best shot.
>> I'll give it a shot.
It's worth a try.
>> It is worth a try.
[phone dials]
>> Hello.
Are you busy?
No, it's not strange.
He's standing right here
with me.
>> Hello, is this Priscilla?
Hi, this is Nev.
I am here with Chitara
and you guys
seem to have something
very special and real.
And so, we were wondering
if maybe you'd be interested
in taking an opportunity now
to sit down and meet up
and talk.
>> Don't make me flip out.
>> Okay,
while you maybe feel
like your life has sort
of moved on and continued
since then.
Chitara's feelings
are still kind of mixed up.
And she just would love to get
a chance to finally see you
and talk to you.
Which would be the thing
that would help her kind of
move on.
>> Do you want to say something?
>> No.
>> Obviously this is something
that's important enough to her
that she was willing
to go on a TV show.
And she's really kind of going
out of her comfort zone.
It just seems
like the right thing
to do to look each other
in the eye,
say what you need to say
and that would be it.
Okay, great.
All right, that's what
we want, too.
All right, so,
text me your address
and we'll head over
in a little bit.
Okay, thank you.
You okay?
>> I'm good.
>> You looked like you
were ready to burst.
>> She made it seem
like I was thirsty.
>> I understand, but I just...
>> I don't like that.
>> Don't want her to get to you.
Oh, I think she just texted me.
So, we now have our address.
She lives an hour and 15 minutes
away in Greensboro.
>> Let's go.
>> Let's do it.
>> There's probably
so many answers that you want.
>> Well, we're really doing it.
>> * This was always
* Meant to be
* And I feel it
* All around you and me
* So this would be
* The perfect time
* To throw it all away
>> With her it's like,
how could you have felt that
and now it's like, whatever.
>> Right.
>> Once I care,
I will always care,
and always want the best,
and will always
be there for you.
>> Well, in less than an hour,
we'll get the answers
we're looking for.
>> * How easily it goes away
>> Oh, man, I can see
her house on the GPS.
Like, I can see the little
checkered flag.
>> Oh, my gosh.
>> This is even more crazy
'cause just back in August
I was literally up this way.
>> Wow...you guys
were still together?
>> Yeah.
>> I'm nervous.
>> Me, too.
>> I'm sure.
>> Just don't even know
who this is person is gonna be.
>> Yeah, exactly.
Like, who am I gonna see?
This ain't nothing how she
described her house to be.
>> Just.
[big exhale]
>> Let's do it.
>> Oh, my gosh, this is crazy.
I can only imagine how you feel.
>> So far, I don't even
know what I'm feeling right now.
>> My hands are shaking.
>> Hey, how are you, Nev?
>> Hi...nice to meet you.
>> Nice to meet you, too.
>> I'm Nev.
>> Priscilla.
>> Sorry?
>> I'm Priscilla, or whatever.
>> Well, you're Priscilla
or whatever?
>> No, my real name's Ashanti
but you guys
know me as Priscilla.
>> Ashanti?
>> Yes, my name's Ashanti.
>> Okay, well,
I obviously came here...
>> Wow.
>> With...
>> I'm, like, oh, my god.
>> Chitara.
You don't mind coming over?
>> Hi.
>> This is Ashanti.
>> Ashanti.
>> Okay, you know Chitara,
obviously.
>> Yes, I do.
>> I'm curious.
How old are you?
>> 18.
>> So, you're a little younger?
>> Mm-hmm, yes, like, what?
>> A couple years younger.
Four, right?
>> Couple years then, yeah.
>> Okay.
>> Why?
>> Why what?
>> Why do all of this?
>> I tried to break it off.
I tried.
I tried to remove myself to you
plenty of times.
>> Not once did
you ever say I'm lying to you...
>> 'Cause I didn't know
how to say it.
>> And when we have, I opened
a window plenty of times.
>> Plenty of times,
but it's not 'cause I can just,
like, automatically get out
and tell you.
>> I opened a door when we had
the conversation about catfish.
>> Okay, you opened the door,
you opened the door,
you opened the door...
>> What did you say?
>> I say--what did I say?
I said I'm not...
>> Catfishing.
>> 'Cause that's my way
of retaliating that no
I couldn't lie to you,
even though I was lying
I wasn't able to,
like, fully come out to you
even though you opened the door
you so-called said.
Like, I didn't think
it would be that big of a deal.
I kind of thought that you knew.
But I didn't really--
>> How am I supposed to know?
>> I just assumed that you did.
>> How?
>> I got broken off, what is it?
Like when I broke up
in September--
>> Well, even if you assumed
that she knew you
weren't being totally honest,
which she was suspicious of,
of course at times...
>> Yeah, I know
she was suspicious.
>> There's no way
for her to have known
who you actually were.
So, the only way she would have
known that is if you had said,
like, look,
I want to talk to you.
>> When the only thing
you had to do was say,
and be honest with me, up front.
I am not who I say I am.
I am not 22.
I am 18.
>> Okay.
>> Like,this [bleep]
that you doing
is a dangerous game.
Like, real talk.
>> I understand.
I don't do it anymore.
You're the last one.
I'm telling you, like,
I'm through with everything.
>> Well, you know, I'm gonna
chalk all this up to the fact
that you're 18.
>> When did you turn 18?
>> No, it's not to--
I turned 18 October.
>> Just turned 18.
>> Just turned [bleep].
>> Yep,
just turned 18 in October.
>> So, this is weeks
of recently turning 18?
>> Yeah.
>> You have some seriously
growing up and maturing
to do because this whole...
>> Honestly, yeah--
>> [bleep] this whole [bleep]
was all [bleep] up.
>> Pretend I got a lot
of things to learn.
>> She's [bleep] just turned 18.
>> I think it's hard
for anybody.
>> Duh, we just
established that like,
a couple minutes ago.
>> I'm not talking to you.
I'm having a conversation
with myself.
>> Okay, conversation
with yourself.
>> Dismissed.
>> Bitch don't [bleep]
dip that [bleep] to me.
>> Dismissed.
Did she just call me a bitch?
>> Whoa, whoa, whoa.
>> I'm done. Like, I'm done.
>> Did she just call me a bitch?
>> You can just go.
You can just go.
>> Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
>> Did she just call me a bitch?
That [bleep] gonna
call me a bitch?
I ain't the one.
Come see me.
You remember you got my address.
Come see me.
>> Okay.
>> Kiss my mother [bleep] ass.
>> [bleep] you too, bitch.
>> Oh [bleep].
>> I feel like I could talk
to her for a minute.
>> Hey.
How are you, you know?
>> She's a baby.
This girl can't even sit
at the bar with me and drink.
[knocks]
>> Hi.
>> Hi.
>> I just wanted to have
a quick chat if that's okay?
>> Yeah.
>> Is there a story
or an explanation
you want to kind of just offer
or do you have anything
you want to say
since you're here now and?
You can understand
she's upset...
>> I know she's upset.
>> Obviously, right?
And so, she's just dealing
with it in the way
that she deals with it.
>> I am--let me not say
I'm not mad.
>> Yeah, 'cause I mean it's...
>> Let me not say I'm not mad.
>> This is a really...
>> Let me not say I'm not mad.
>> Crazy moment, right now...
>> 'Cause that's
an understatement.
This is a dangerous game
she playing.
A real dangerous game.
>> You really did care for her.
>> When you met her,
it was as the Priscilla profile?
>> Yes, as Priscilla profile.
>> Which you created and had
been using for some time or?
>> Yeah, I've been
using fake profiles for a while.
It all started when I was,
like, at least very young, 13.
>> Okay, so a story
that you told her,
you met somebody else?
>> Yeah, I met somebody
else early September.
>> A guy?
>> Yeah.
>> Okay, so is that accurate?
I mean--
>> Yeah, it's accurate.
>> I'm sorry to ask this but,
like, some of the stories
that you told her
regarding some family tragedies.
That stuff's not true?
>> That's some stuff
I really not want to put.
>> But your mom is...
>> She's alive.
>> Healthy, and alive?
>> Yeah, she's alive,
so that's--
>> I'm glad to hear that 'cause
I understand you told her
that your mother passed away.
>> Mm-hmm.
>> At this point I don't even
want answers to anything.
I'm [bleep] done.
>> You don't even?
>> I don't even really
want to know, 'cause
obviously there's some
[bleep] going on within her.
>> Sorry, I just can't believe
I'm talking to you face to face.
>> It would be different. Okay--
>> I never thought
I'd be on here, so.
>> Well, it can't come as
too much of a surprise.
You've been creating
fake profiles for five years.
>> I know, but I didn't think,
like, this would happen
right here.
>> I would like to talk
about maybe finding some time
tomorrow.
I don't want the situation
to end the way it ended.
We'll figure something
out for tomorrow.
>> Okay, all right.
Bye.
>> Wow, what a story.
>> This is some very,
very immature stuff.
There's something
not right there.
Everything a lie.
Everything.
>> She definitely was trying
to put it on you.
>> Do you feel like that was
an ending to this?
I don't.
I think there's
a very different person
that we didn't meet today.
>> This is something
that she does continuous.
This isn't like her first time.
She's done this before.
It's something
going on within her.
>> This episode of Catfish:
The TV Show continues now.
[phone dials]
>> Hello?
>> Hello, Ashanti?
Hi, good morning.
It's Nev with Chitara and we
were just discussing the idea
of coming to meet you if you're
willing to sit down with us
and have a heart to heart.
Great, see you
in a little bit.
All right, thanks.
I think maybe if we
come at her in, like,
a calmer approach.
>> Yeah, at that point
I can better understand why she
would do some of these things.
What was real?
Like, what part of what you
told me was really real.
>> Okay.
>> Can it be where, like,
ya'll talk and I just take in
everything that she's saying...
>> For sure.
>> And then after she
finishes I can comment?
>> For sure.
>> Okay, that'll work.
>> Okay, I think it's great that
we can all sit down together
and have a civil conversation.
I feel like the Ashanti
we met yesterday
is not really who you are.
>> Mm-hmm.
>> And yesterday
we found out that perhaps one
of the most personal things
about your mom
passing away wasn't true.
So, now she's kind of totally...
>> Yeah, and I feel bad
about that one, but--
>> How can she know
what's real or not real.
>> I mean, I know I
shouldn't have done it.
It's really bad, but yeah.
>> Over the last five years
you've had a bunch
of different accounts.
Most of them have been
using different pictures.
>> Mm-hmm.
>> How many people would you say
in that time you had,
like, a sincere connection with?
>> Not that many.
>> How did those relationships,
you know, end up?
>> I would just,
like, I don't know, I got bored
and decided to just move on.
>> Were they in love with you?
>> I honestly don't know.
Probably, but, you know?
I did have feelings for you.
I actually did,
even though I lied to you,
I really did.
I was actually able to, like,
talk about certain situations
and things that were
bothering me.
>> I just don't get it.
>> Sort of fill in all the holes
for us about how you got here.
>> When I was 13, it was
a whole bunch of drama going on.
And so, that's when,
like, basically my whole world
just fell apart.
It was really hard
because there was a time
where I was separated
from my mom.
Around that time she was trying
to find us a place to live.
And so, you know,
I decided one day, you know,
why not just escape and become
someone else for a day?
So, that's when everything
really started.
Like, you do anything
just to escape, you know?
>> Now, I understand
a little bit more about
your situation with your family.
What do you think
about Chitara and
how she feels
about this whole situation?
>> I mean,
I understand how she feels.
I feel the same way, really.
Like, just all the bad,
negative feelings.
'Cause I knew she didn't
deserve that, to be lied to.
I was scared, you know,
to actually, like confess
and kind of reveal my real self.
>> You can't keep running.
At some point you
have to face whatever it is
that you're going through,
and if you don't
it's a downhill spiral
after that, so.
>> I do appreciate it.
>> You guys ready to go?
>> Yes.
>> Yeah.
>> * If you come to find out
* Who you are
>> Nice to meet you.
>> It was nice to meet
you too, Nev.
>> Good luck with everything.
>> All right, thank you.
>> See you.
>> Good bye, everybody.
>> See you later.
>> * And if you come search
* For what is lost
>> Are you still mad?
>> Not mad.
>> I thought you handled it
incredibly well in there.
>> I guess the best answer
I could say is why she
did was to escape reality.
I guess that's the answer
to it right there.
Other than that,
as to why go to this extent,
and to involve other people
in it?
I don't think she knows why.
>> Oh, there we go, hey!
>> Hi!
>> Can you see us?
How you doing?
>> I'm doing great.
When we walked away that day,
that was it.
It was said and done.
And I kept it moving.
>> So, you haven't really
thought about her or felt,
or, like, talked about it?
>> I thought
about the situation,
but as far as her?
No.
Because if I could get it,
make it come back
and the same thing
can happen again my resolution
is just, you know,
do better, get better.
I'ma get there.
>> All right, well, I got to go.
>> Nice to speak to you,
and nice to see you, Alex.
>> Good seeing both of you guys.
>> All right.
>> Bye.
>> The most beautiful girl
I've ever seen.
>> I do have a feeling
that this could be the one
that I end up spending my life
with.
>> Double Catfish scheme?
>> All right,
get ready for anything.
>> Wait, this could be our guy.
I'm a little confused.
What do you think
is gonna happen?
