Catfish: The TV Show (2012–…): Season 8, Episode 2 - Antonnio & Alfre - full transcript

Moving on from a toxic breakup, Alfred's thirsty to find Adonis, the elusive man of his dreams, but as they dig for answers, word that Nev and Kamie are in town leads to the most explosive confrontation in the Catfish history.

- For the last year, Alfred's
been talking to Adonis.

- He's been there.
He's supported me.

It's like peace.

All I need
is just that one moment.

- Who is it?
- Oh, [bleep].

What the [bleep]?
- Who's this?

- Get in your car.
Go home. Bitch.

- Oh! [bleep].
- Oh, my God.

- Come on, come on,
come on, guys.

- Stop fighting. No, no, no!
- Guys, stop.

- I need your help. Help.
For almost a decade,



"Catfish" has brought
desperate hopefuls

the answers they deserve.

- Thank you guys so much
for bringing us together.

- This time around, though,
we've flipped the script.

Now I'm heading out
with my co-host, Kamie.

- Who's ready to go fishing?

- We're helping people
who need us the most.

Let's do it.

Only they have no idea.

- She doesn't know
I reached out to you guys.

- Oh, my goodness.

- This season we're being
tipped off by friends...

- I care about him a lot.
- Family...

- My brother's really
in love with her.



- And even anonymous sources...

Whoa.
- What?

- This is from
the whistle-blower.

Ride-or-dies
who will not sit back

while their loved ones
get played.

- ♪ Come on and catch me now ♪

- Why can't we meet?

- Homey is getting played.

- So many layers.

- 'Cause even when
you don't know it...

- Chill, chill, chill.
- [bleep] him, man.

- Take a second.
- [exhales]

- "Catfish" has your back.

[dramatic musical sting]

Good morning.

We're set up in here to film,
but I only have one chair,

so if you want
to sit in a chair,

you're gonna have
to bring yours over.

- Are you kidding?

- It's--they don't put two
chairs in these rooms.

- This is--wow.
- Thank you.

- [grunting]
- It's football season.

- [grunting]

- Nobody--
- She's winded. She's winded.

BYOC, girl.
All right, you ready for this?

- Let's do it.
- Email alert from KeShawn,

"He doesn't see the problem."

- What's the problem?
- "Hey, Nev and Kamie,

"My name is KeShawn,
and you have got to help me.

"Recently my brother Alfred
broke up

"with his
long-term boyfriend Antonnio.

"The two had been together
for almost six years,

"and their split
came from out of nowhere.

"I was shocked.
Antonnio and my brother

"seemed like they were in it
for the long haul.

They lived together and were
raising my brother's two kids."

- Jesus.

- "My brother and the kids
are now staying

"with me and my family.

"It's a bit crowded
and stressful.

"Also, it turns out my brother
was hiding a big secret.

"For the past year, he was
talking to this guy, Adonis.

"My brother left his partner
for a guy it turns out

"he's never video chatted

"or even talked
on the phone with.

Their whole relationship
has been over text."

- Mm.

has just torn his life up

- ♪ Feet don't fail me now ♪

- "I told my brother
I was writing to you guys,

"but he doesn't really seem
to think there's a problem.

"I could really use your help

getting
to the bottom of this ASAP."

- ♪ Feet don't fail me now ♪

- Props to KeShawn for even
calling his brother out,

because some family members
I feel like

will let you be
about the bull[bleep],

and they'll just, like,

"Well, you know, it's fine."
I need to know more.

- Let's give the brother,
KeShawn, a call.

[computer chiming]

[laughter]

- Hey.
- Hey, what's up, man?

- Hey, how you doing?

- Good. How are you?

- Is it "Key-Shawn"
or "Kay-Shawn?"

- It's "Kuh-Shawn."
- KeShawn.

- KeShawn, all right.
What's up, man? Where are you?

- Sanford, North Carolina.

- So explain to us a little bit
more

about what's going on here.
How did all this go down?

- He was in a relationship,
and not too long ago,

out of the blue,
he just broke apart.

Then he started speaking
on somebody named Adonis.

I said, "How long have you been
talking to this dude?"

and he's like, "For a year."

I'm saying, like, he never
talked to him on the phone.

He never FaceTimed or anything.

- Right.
- So I feel like

he being catfished.

- Well, that's nice of you
to write in to us,

but I think the real reason
here

is that you want your brother
out of the house.

[laughter]

- Tell the truth.

- Is he there with you now?
- Yes, sir.

- Why don't you go get him
so we can show him

what it means
to video chat with someone?

- Right.

[laughter]

- Alfred.

- Come on over here, Alfred.

- Oh, my G...

[laughter]

- Surprise.
- Hey, man.

- Hey.

- [laughs]

- Hi.

- [laughs] Don't seem so
excited to see us.

- That was--that was
the classic, like,

"My little brother
did something."

- Yes.

[laughs]

- Hi, you guys.

- Your brother told us
a little bit about

how you had
a relationship that ended.

I- Right, yes, sir.

So a lot of times

when my family seen me
and Antonnio together,

it looked like we were, like,
you know, happily in love.

Behind closed doors is where
everything was going wrong,

and nobody knew.

There was this instance
about a year ago

where everything
in my relationship just seemed

like it
was gonna fizzle out,

and I was tired,
so I put on Facebook,

"I just need some friends,"
and Adonis hit me up,

and not only was I attracted to
the few pictures I have of him,

but, like, everything
he could say to me,

it just made me feel good.

Every time I needed
that uplift, I got it from him.

It's like that breath of fresh
air, you know what I mean?

Like, when everything else
is going wrong,

that's the only thing
I have that, like, goes right.

- What do you know
about Adonis?

- I know he's 24.
He was in the military.

- What about social media?

- I have never seen
any social media.

- Come on.
- I have never--

- Doesn't that seem strange
to you, a 24-year-old hot guy?

- Well, I mean, some people
just don't get on there

to put
their business out there.

- How did Adonis
first contact you?

- He contacted me
on Facebook Messenger,

but on the thing it said he
didn't have, like, a Facebook,

so I said,
"Okay, well, maybe he's just

one of those people that
just like to use Messenger.

- Have you guys talked
about meeting up?

- Yeah, but back then,
I'm thinking,

"Everybody knows
I'm in a relationship.

If he comes to Sanford, I'm
gonna definitely be found out."

- Right.
- Have you ever asked Adonis

to video chat?

- Yeah. He gives me excuses.
"Oh, I have to work.

I'm busy at the moment,"
and it's like, "What the hell?"

- Right.
- He being catfished,

common sense.

- [laughs]

Common sense.

- I have to say, my favorite
part about this story

is KeShawn's side,

like, facial expressions.

- I'm--[laughs]

- He's just back
there like this.

- He really is, like,
the cautious one.

Like, he really is.
- All right, well, look.

Something's going on, so let's
get to the bottom of this.

You guys hang tight, and we'll
fly down there and meet up.

- Okay.
That'll definitely work for me.

- See you in Sanford.
- All right.

- Bye.
- Bye.

- Later, guys. Whatever's going
on in Alfred's personal life

is going on in his entire
family's personal life.

- Yep. KeShawn is fed up.

- Everybody's in everybody's
business here.

- You ready to go to...

♪ North Carolina ♪

♪ Come on and raise up ♪

- All right, let's get going.

- ♪ Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh ♪

♪ ♪

North Carolina, very hot
and humid down here.

- It's very hot.

♪ ♪

- This is nice.

I guess this is
Alfred's family's house

where he's been staying.

All right, let's park here.

First up, I need a snack.

- Oh.
- Oh, [bleep].

They're right there?

- [laughs]
Hi.

- Hey, how y'all doing?
- Hey.

- Hi.
- We're giving out candy.

-Sorry, we were not--
we were not expecting this.

- Snack time.

- He literally started digging
through the chocolate drawer.

We are normally
much more put together.

- Hey, how are you?
- I'm Kamie.

- What's up, man?
Nice to see you.

- Hey, how you doing?
- What's going on, baby?

- Hey, man, what's up?
What's your name?

- DeShawnda.
- DeShawnda.

- They just call me Dee,though.

- And are you
and KeShawn together?

- Yeah.
- Got it.

- You guys can come on in.

- Is this where you're staying
with your family?

- Yeah.
- Ohh.

- What do you guys do out here?
What's to do in Sanford?

- Nothing.
- We hang together.

- What'd you say?
- Nothing.

- It's a very small community,
you know what I mean?

Like, it's--

- Yeah, everybody
know--literally,

you probably got cousins

that you don't know
about that's your cousins.

- Right.
- Well, that's why you said

you didn't like the idea
of Adonis coming here.

- No.
- It's like, everybody is

in everybody's business.
- Right.

- And that was before you
broke up with your ex.

Were you friends with Antonnio?
- Yes, me and Tony is close.

- You must have been surprised
to find out that--

- Surprised ain't the word.
- Uh-oh.

- I was--I didn't know
what to say, what to do.

- Round y'all and in everybody
else's face, lovey-dovey.

- Totally different.
- We can be happy together.

- Yeah.
- We argue. We fuss. We fight.

He doesn't know how to talk
about his feelings.

He doesn't let me talk
about my feelings,

the same issues
for six damn years.

- Does he still have

or want to have
anything to do with your kids?

- I'm sure.

I would never, like,
kind of keep them from him

'cause he's been there so long.

Like, they have even
asked me about him,

and it's hard to explain
to a kid what's going on

if I can't even talk to them;
you see what I'm saying?

- Right.
- So I try to keep all

that stuff
bottled in for them,

so they don't know
what's going on.

[somber music]

♪ ♪

- It's hard,
and I can understand

why having someone like Adonis
to talk to feels like freedom.

- Like, that's what I'm saying.
It's, like--it's, like, peace.

You know what I mean?
With everything going on,

it's, like, all I need
is just that one moment.

♪ ♪

- When did you first start
talking to Adonis?

- October of last year,
because I remember me

and Antonnio had issues
around his birthday,

so I put something on Facebook,

and then next thing I know,
I get this message.

It was like,
"Hey, how are you?"

so from there
we just start chatting.

- And as far as you know,
there hasn't been any

connection between Adonis
and anyone that you do know?

Because he would have to be
friends with you on Facebook

in order to have seen
that post you made,

so you would have
probably remembered--

- Adding him, yeah.
- Right.

- I would have been like,
"Oh, I added him,

such-and-such."
- Is he a friend?

- Mm-mm.
- No, okay.

- I wonder how he
found your page.

- I know. It's interesting.

- I mean, it could be somebody
that's probably been wanting

to, you know,
get with him for a while.

- Well, yeah, that's true too.
- They probably know him.

- And you text with him
every day, pretty much?

- Pretty much.

- And you've seen
how many pictures?

- Like, two or three.

- Over a year?
- Yeah.

- Have you ever asked for more?
- Well, I've seen others that,

you know, wouldn't classify
as face pictures.

- Oh.
- So...

- How many of those?

- Like, there's been
a few of those.

But is it o--I mean,
I want to say some stuff,

but I don't want them
to know certain things.

- Yeah, so if you
guys don't mind,

we'll kind of just zero in now
with Alfred.

- See you later.

So now we can be real.
- Yes.

- Now we can get into it.
- Details.

So I have--I have infi--I was,
you know, cheating before.

- On Antonnio?
- Yes.

With Antonnio,
the sex life is nonexistent.

I feel like
if you're laying beside me

and I'm making advances,

why can't you kind of
reciprocate?

This has been years
in the making.

- Where are you now
with Adonis?

Does he know that you are

officially done
with your boyfriend?

- Yeah, I told him.

- What did he say
when you said,

"I finally moved out"?

- He was down to do
the meeting up.

I thought we were gonna
meet up this weekend,

but I never heard from him.

I just kind of chalked it up
and said, "Maybe he's busy."

- Can we see him?
- Yeah.

♪ ♪

- Oh, he's cute.
- I know.

[laughs]

- Oh, that's him in uniform.

- So he was stationed
in Charlotte?

- He said Fort Bragg.

I do know that Fort Bragg
is right there in Fayetteville.

- Okay.
- We got messages.

"When are we going to be able
to see one another?"

He's been asking.
"Would you be willing

to meet up with me one day,
like, maybe halfway?"

You guys definitely
do talk a lot.

Okay, well, look, well,

I'm excited to do
a little research.

Send us an email
with anything you can think of,

and we'll put an end
to this mystery.

- [chuckles]

I'm excited to see
where this goes.

- Thank you.
- See ya.

[tense music]

- A lot more to the story.

- The only thing that I see
that could be harmful to Alfred

is if this is someone

that he already knows
that he's talking to.

- Right. I mean,
the crazy thing

about this situation
is it could easily

be something wildly obvious,
like it's just him,

and they're in love,
and it's perfect,

or it could take a turn
and go so far left,

an entire family and town
could be torn apart.

- ♪ Yeah the kids
re all right ♪

- ♪ Ooh-ooh-ooh ♪

- ♪ But they're never gonna
take us alive ♪

- Hey, man.
- Hi.

- Okay. All right,
so for the last year

Alfred's been
talking to Adonis.

Alfred understands...

a little weird
for a 24-year-old

not to have any social media,

never seems to line up for them
to even get on the phone.

- Right.
- Some weird [bleep] for sure.

- Right.
- Let's get into this.

Let's see, he sent us an email.
Here it is, Alfred.

Adonis' number, 'Kay.
"He's 24,

"and the name on Facebook
Messenger was Adonis Lewis.

"After you left,
I thought about it,

"and there actually is someone
in Sanford

"who might have wanted to do
something like this to me.

"Vance was dating Antonnio
before he started dating me.

He sort of introduced us and
wasn't happy we were together."

Mm-kay, interesting.

"I'm attaching the pictures
that I have of Adonis too."

Let's just start with
a little phone number lookup.

Oh. Oh, wait a second.

This is--comes up
as a landline.

- You think that that's real?

- Well, usually that just means
it's a text app number.

- Yes.

- It says it's from Alabama.
- Shorter, Alabama?

- You'd think he'd have a North
Carolina phone number,

so that's a little wonky.

Let's do an image search.

Here's the one of him
in his army uniform.

Hmm. No.
And then here's the one of him

standing on the street
somewhere.

Oh, we got a hit.

- Ooh.
- Look at this.

Who is this guy?

There's the picture.
There he is, look.

- Ooh.
- They're probably like,

"I am late."
I know--

- Dom [bleep],
Chester, Virginia.

Look, this page feels like--

- That's definitely him.
- Right, yeah.

Oh, boom. Found the photo.

- I'm so sad. No.

This is the last thing
that Alfred needs.

- All right,
this is the real guy.

His name is Dominic.

And his guy is very, like,
public

and seemingly very confident.

- He doesn't seem like the type
of person who wouldn't want

to talk
on the phone or FaceTime.

- All right,
let's--let's message Dom.

"This is Nev.

"We think somebody
is using your photos.

Please give me a call."

All right,
so we found the real guy,

so how now do we find out
anything about Adonis?

- I mean, we could look
at Vance just because--

- All right, let's take a look
at Vance,

'cause
they both dated Antonnio.

- Oh.
- Wait a second, so...

- Wait.
- The fir--the most recent post

on Vance's page is
a picture of me and two girls

from the restaurant
we had lunch at yesterday.

- That I took yesterday.
I took that picture.

- Oh, this is an article. Whoa.

"Star of MTV's 'Catfish'
visits Sanford."

- That got out fast.
So now I wonder if Vance

is really
who Alfred is talking to.

- Well, right,
because I don't think

it's such
a subtle sort of wink-wink...

- It's shade.

- That a person who has
some past beef with Alfred

is excited
that "Catfish" is in town.

- Right.
That's a hell of a coincidence.

- And it also says
he was in the U.S. military.

Let's see.
Is he even friends with Alfred?

They are friends on Facebook.

- Ooh.
- So maybe we should

keep him in mind.

- What the [bleep]?
- Oh.

We got a message from Dom.

"Hello, is this the real Nev?"

- Yes.
- "Yes, it is.

Happy to FaceTime."

- Oh.

- On Facebook.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Whoa.

[laughter]

- Hey, man.

- I know.
- This is Kamie.

- Hi.
- She's my new co-host.

- It's nice to meet you.

- And we're in Sanford,
North Carolina...

- Okay.
- Helping a guy out

named Alfred,

who for the last year
has been talking to a guy

who calls himself Adonis who's
been using pictures of you.

- [laughs]

- You don't go by Adonis,
I'm gonna take it.

- Um, no.
- And you're not talking to

nor are you aware of someone
named Alfred in Sanford?

- I don't know that man.

- Okay, and are you
in a relationship?

- Yes, I am currently married.
- Oh, you're married, okay.

Well, congratulations.
- Thank you.

- Congratulations.

That also just stung
a little bit for Alfred.

- So y--but you don't know
specifically of anybody

that has pretended
to be you in the past?

Like, you never confronted
someone or--

- No, this is the first time

that I've heard
anything like this.

- Do you know anyone in Sanford
or in Charlotte?

- I was based in Fort Bragg
for about five years.

- Adonis, the person
that Alfred's been talking to,

said that he was
stationed in Fort Bragg.

- That's right,
so wait a second.

We've got a suspect
here named Vance

who was also in the military.

Have you ever served
with a guy named Vance?

- I possibly have,

but I--I don't know.

- Okay. Can you text me
a quick clip of you saying,

"Hey, Alfred, I'm sorry.
We've never talked?"

- Okay.
- All right.

Well, Dom, thank you
for getting back to us.

Good meeting you.
All right, bye.

- Bye.
- Okay, bye.

- All right, so Dom is Dom;
he's a real person,

just not who Alfred's
talking to.

- But we still
don't know who it is.

- Well, right, but at least
we know who it isn't.

At the moment, the only lead
we have is that it could be

Vance based on the fact
that he did recently

post that article
about us being in town.

- And the fact that he may have
known Dom from the military.

- But the reality is, this guy
could be anybody anywhere.

- Oh, poor Alfred.

- I just don't know
if he's gonna be more,

like, sad and disappointed
or if he's gonna be more angry.

[tense music]

- All right.

Is this him?
- Is that Dee?

Hey.
- Hey, how y'all doing?

- Hey, y'all.
- Hey, y'all.

- You staying here or--

- No, I actually got to
go get my son.

- We've got to talk to you,
so let's head inside.

- See y'all later.
- See you.

- How you feeling?
- I've just been, like,

nerve-racked ever
since last night, so...

- Did you know people are
talking about us being here?

- Oh, my God, yeah.

- Has anyone figured out that
we're here for helping you?

- No.
- Oh.

All right, so why don't we
just get into it?

The first thing we did was,

we took the phone number
that you have for Adonis.

- Mm-kay.
- And we just did a search,

and it says it's a landline.

That might mean
that it's, like, a text app.

- Okay.
- It doesn't mean anything,

but it's always
a little concerning.

- Uh...

- Oh.

- Who is?
- For me?

- Yeah.
- Who?

- Who?

[tense music]

- Who is it?
- I don't know.

- The whole town knows
we're here.

- All right, he's coming back.

- What was that?
- That was my ex's best friend.

She basically came to me saying
"Catfish" is here for me.

- All right, well, it was
kind of inevitable

that people
would figure it out, right?

I mean, like you said,

everybody in town kind of knows
everybody's business.

All right, anyway, let's
get back to where we were.

- Okay.

- So we started
doing image searches.

- Okay.
- And we did get a hit,

and so here he is.

No.

what they look like.

- Right. The question remains,
where and who is this person?

- Right.
- You, interestingly,

had mentioned
that a couple years back

somebody was sort of--
messed with you,

this guy, Vance, so we went
to his Facebook page.

One of the things
he posted today

is this article
about me being in town.

- Are you [bleep] serious?
- We thought it was interesting

that someone from your past
seemed to be excited

that "Catfish" was in town,
and get this,

Dom told us he was stationed at
Fort Bragg, just like Adonis,

and look, here it also says
Vance was in the military,

so it's not impossible
that Vance could be Adonis.

- Yeah.
- But that's kind of

where we left things.

- The only way of really even
figuring out who this is

is to just ask them
to reveal themselves.

- Okay.
So I can ask that question?

- Sure.

- What you doing here?
- [bleep]. What the...

- Who's this?
- It's Antonnio.

I heard "Catfish" was in town.
- What are you doing here?

So what that got
to do with you?

- Why are they here?
- Get in your car. Go home.

- Are you really gonna leave?
- Get in your car and go home.

- Can I talk to you over there?
- Why?

- For five minutes.
- For what?

- So I can talk to y'all.

I don't need everybody else
in my business.

I don't need that.
[all speaking at once]

- No, why are they here?
- Here, why don't you

go back inside,
and I'll explain to Antonnio

what we're doing here.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

You're Antonnio?
- Or Kamie can explain.

- Yeah.
- I'm Kamie. Nice to meet you.

- This is what I was
telling y'all about.

You see what I'm saying?
- I understand.

He is--he's probably just
jealous and upset.

- He's always [bleep] jealous.
That's what I'm talking about.

- It is Alfred's business,

but we're just--
we're here to help.

- This is the perfect
opportunity to just say,

"You know what?
I don't need that."

- I told y'all. I told y'all.

- Right, but you don't
need it anymore. You--

- I told y'all.
- It's not your responsibility.

So why don't you go out there
and let him know how you feel?

- What do you have to say?

- Why are you bringing
"Catfish" out here?

Am I not good enough for you?
Like, why you trying

to meet somebody
that you don't even know?

- Look at the bull[bleep]
you pulling right now.

You hear something
from Sanford,

and you coming at me.
- [inaudible]

for five years.
Five years is a long-ass time

for you throw away for somebody
you don't even know.

- And it's all been you!
It's been about you!

- But you don't even know
this person.

- It doesn't matter.

- It'd be different
if you knew this person,

but you don't
even know this person.

So you gonna leave me
over somebody you don't-=

that you don't even know?
- You damn right I would.

- That's stupid as hell.
That's crazy as [bleep].

- Yeah, what you gonna
do about it?

- You look dumb as hell.
- And that's fine.

- You look dumb as hell.
- Okay.

- You look dumb as hell.
- Okay!

- And the reason why you can't
even find this person

is 'cause I'm Adonis, bitch.

Yes, I am Adonis.

- Bitch.
- Oh, [bleep].

- Oh, my God!
- [bleep]!

- Stop, guys,
no, no, no, no, no.

- You look dumb as hell.
- Okay!

- And the reason why you can't
even find this person

is 'cause I'm Adonis, bitch.

- Bitch!
- Oh, [bleep].

- Oh, my God!
Stop, guys, no, no, no, no, no.

- I'll [bleep] kill him!
- Chill, chill, chill, chill,

chill, chill, chill.
- Kill him, man!

Nev, please let me go.
- Just chill,

please, please, please.
- Nev, let me go.

Nev, let me go.
- It's not worth it.

- He better be lying, y'all.
- It's not worth it.

- He better be lying.
He better be lying.

- Just hold on. Hold on.
Hold on one second.

- He better be lying, bro.

[sobbing]

I'm tired of him.
I'm tired of him.

- Take a s--sit with me.
Sit with me.

- Nev, Nev, I'm tired.
- Just sit down for a second.

- Let's take a second,
all right?

- Ooh, he better--
he better be lying.

- We're not gonna get anywhere
right now. Everyone's upset.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm okay.

That [bleep] is crazy.

He's mad at me because
he's been cheating on me.

This is just too mu--
I can't talk.

I'm 'bout to go.
I can't do this.

- Please get home safely.
- I am.

- Ohh.

- I just want to know,
is he lying?

- Do you want me
to go ask him that?

- Please.

- Will you stay here
for a minute?

- Find out if
he's lying, please.

- All right, just wait for me
one second right here, okay?

- He said he needs to leave.
- Did you talk to him at all?

- Yeah, I did,
but he doesn't want to--

- Hey, just really fast,

is it true--you said
at the very end

right before you guys started
fighting that you are Adonis.

- I am Adonis.

- That's true?
- That's true.

- So you made the profile.
- Yes.

- And it's been you talking
to him the whole time.

Why did you do that?

- Hey, I needed facts.

- In terms of him,
like, cheating?

- You know, cheating on me,

so talking to other people
behind my back. I needed facts.

- I'd like to talk about this
and try to help you guys.

I don't know if right now
is the time to do that.

Are you willing to meet up
with us tomorrow

to try and talk about this?
- Tomorrow, yes.

I just need time
to just process everything.

- Okay, fine.

So you--you should go,
and we'll talk, hopefully,

tomorrow and meet up again.-
- Okay.

- All right.
- All right.

Ohh.

That was a tussle.

- Well, right.
So the big question now is,

the fallout.
- Yeah.

- Because getting into a fight

like that was
a major turning point.

We've been getting
Alfred's side of the story.

I'm not saying
who's right or wrong,

but I definitely think Antonnio
probably has a side.

- While I love Alfred,
he also has messed up too.

- Let's check in with Antonnio.

[line trilling]

- Hello?
- Hey, Antonnio?

- Hey, how you doing?

It's Nev and Kamie.
- Hey.

- I wanted to check in
with you and sort of see

how you were feeling about
how everything

kind of went down.

- We'd love to come
and talk to you

and get your side of the story

if that's something
you'd be willing to do.

- All right, great.

- Okay.
- All right.

- Let's see what everyone has
to say for themselves.

- Hello.
- Hey.

- Nice to meet you. Jasmine.

- Yeah, we--you've--I didn't
get to meet you yesterday.

- Yeah, I'm Antonnio's
best friend.

- It's nice to meet you.
- Kamie.

- Nice to meet you.
- Is Antonnio here?

- Yes.
- How's he doing?

- He's a little sad,

but he's okay.
- Yeah.

- And what, if anything,

have you kind of known
throughout this whole process?

- I really didn't
really know too much.

- I take it you were the one

that told Antonnio
we were in town yesterday?

- Mm, yes.
Everybody on Facebook

is talking about "Catfish"
is in town.

I usually don't even
get into their business,

but when it's something
serious like this, like,

they're actually separating,
it's a big deal.

- Right. Can we go in...
- Yeah, you can come in.

- Talk to Antonnio?

- Y'all's can sit down
right in here.

- Hey, you guys.

- Nice to see you again.
- Good to see you.

- Good to see you, especially
under different circumstances.

- Yes.
- Yeah.

So look, this is
a little different for us,

'cause normally we help someone

find the person
they're talking to.

It's usually someone
that they don't know,

so now it's obviously
less about

the specifics of the profile

and more just kind of about
what happened between you guys.

- Right.

- Trying to get your side
of the story.

- So, like, we've been together
for five years.

We was always
going out on dates.

We were talking more.

We were just doing everything
that, like, couples should do,

and I guess that the longer
that we had been together

the less things that
we had been able to do,

not because we can't do it.

It's just we just
don't do anything, you know?

- You just got comfortable.
- Yeah.

- It happens to every
relationship.

- Yeah, we got comfortable.

Well, I know I got comfortable,
but, like,

two years ago,
Alfred had cheated on me,

and Alfred was telling me
how he wasn't going to,

you know,
cheat on me anymore.

You know, he was done
with that.

He was not gonna talk
to anybody anymore,

but I didn't really, like,
trust him or believe him,

and that's basically

why I started
his Adonis Facebook page.

Yes, I was catfishing him,
but he was the one

that was stepping
on our relationship.

I just wanted to, like, know,
like, really,

are you going to meet
someone else and leave me?

- Why do it for so long?

- If last night
hadn't have happened,

how were you planning
on telling him about Adonis?

Last night,
I didn't want to do that.

It's just how it came out,
and I most definitely

do take accountability
for a lot of the things

that I'm not putting
into a relationship,

but I feel like some things
are, like,

petty to fight about, like,

the sex life
and stuff like that,

when he talks about that,
even if it's, like, oral sex,

he--he just says,
"Let's not get into this."

Like, he wants it, like,
a whole lot of times a day,

and it's, like, we're not,
like, porn stars.

Like, we're no--that's not
what we are,

and so that kind of put a wedge
in our relationship,

and we haven't been,
like, communicating,

so talking to Alfred

from--like, as being Adonis,
I got to, like,

reconnect with him.
That's why I kept going.

It just felt good to be able
to talk to him

and just, like, to know, like,
how he's feeling.

I was more comfortable
with him that way.

- You seem to have so much love
and patience for Alfred,

and he says he feels like
he's not getting the sort

of affection and attention
from you that he needs.

- Do you still want
to be with him?

- I really, really do.

Like, I really, really do,
because I love him so much.

- Jasmine is not with it.
- I know. I do, though.

- But you can't keep putting
yourself

through the same thing.

- Yeah, I know, but it's just
hard when you love somebody,

and then you've been with them
for, like, five years.

That's hard.

- It's a long time.
- Yeah.

- In a couple months
he's probably

gonna be doing the same thing.

- Yeah.
- In all honesty, he is.

- It's ju--it's so much
built-up anger and resentment

towards each other.
- Yeah it is.

- And I know you want
it to work,

but do you really feel like
in your deepest heart

that that is what is healthy

for either one of you?

- I mean, I think
you guys should talk.

- You clearly have a lot
to talk about.

- Yes.
- Do you want to call

Alfred then
and basically just say,

you know,
we can meet up with him now?

[line trilling]

- Hello.

- Hey, is it okay
if we meet up and talk?

- Okay, well,
I'll be over there.

- All right, round two.

- How did you find the photos
in the first place?

- So actually,
the dude that I used,

I follow him on Instagram,

and I've been following him
for years and years and years.

- And the dick pics?
- I found those on Google.

- Okay.
- [laughs]

All right.

Oh, look, we have a little
welcome committee here.

- Hey.
- Hey, how y'all doing?

- Nice to see you.

We brought a friend.
- Yeah. What was you thinking?

- I don't know.
Like, I just feel like

when I heard that,
you know, "Catfish" was here,

I needed to know, like,
what was going on, like,

if he was really
going to leave me

over somebody
that he doesn't know.

- It's pretty [bleep] up.

- You want to stand up
for your brother.

- Exactly.

- Obviously, there's
another side to the story,

so I think at this point,

the best thing is
just for them to talk.

- Talk, mm-hmm.
- Let them hash it out.

- Okay.

- All right, see y'all later.

- How you doing?

- Hey.

- Hi.

- [exhales]

- All right, so...
glad we could do this.

We had an opportunity
to talk with Antonnio.

I feel like as much
as we can be,

we're--we're up to speed,

but I do think Antonnio has
things he wants to say to you.

I'm sure you have things
you'd like to just discuss.

Obviously, you know, you guys
got into a fight last night.

Even at your lowest points

and even when you're as mad
as you can get,

you should never put hands
on each other,

because it only
makes things worse.

- First I want to apologize

for how things got last night.

Next, I want to know
why not just talk to me

instead of talking to me
from some fake person?

- I just feel like it
was easier for me,

because whenever I try to,
like,

talk to you, like, as myself,

sometimes I feel like
we can't have,

like, a--like,
a regular long conversation,

so, like, being Adonis,
it felt different,

because you would talk to him

and, like,
open up your heart to him,

and that's what I was
missing out on.

That's why I kept carrying
it on for so long,

because I was missing
those feelings that we had

when we first got together,

and I am sorry
for making that fake page

and stringing you along
the whole time,

but I just needed to know
for myself if you was gonna

keep on talking
to other people behind my back

and if we were gonna be able
to, like, keep being together.

- I can understand that,

but I never got
a conversation from you

until today saying this stuff.

I didn't want to talk
to these random people.

I'm only human,
so there's things that I need,

whether it's emotional,
whether it's physical.

Like, when I'm missing out
on something,

I try to go find it.

- It's not okay just to
entertain them.

It's not okay just to play
along with them,

'cause you do have
somebody at home,

that somebody helps you,
like, watch your kids

and take care of them,

and then I'd think, like,
if we break up,

I'll never get to see themagain,

and that honestly just hurts.

I really love them,

and I don't want to be
separated from them.

- I understand, 'cause they ask
about you every day.

And I can't look at them
in their face

and tell them what's going on,

so I have to lie
to them every day.

- It's all mutual.
You're feeling the same things.

What you want from each other
are the same things.

It's just whether or not you're
gonna get it from one another.

- The reason why I can't let
go, like, of this relationship

is 'cause, like,
we've been here for five years.

We live together.

We have a family together,
and, like, I do love you.

I just wanted you to,
like, move forward

and grow from this, like,
put all this in the past.

- But, see, there again is

one of the things
that's one of our problems.

You like to go through stuff,
and then you just say,

"Okay, well,
let's put that behind us."

After you've done something
like this,

it's not gonna be just easy
as let's put this behind.

- Oh.
- Hi, guys.

- Hey.

You look so nice, Alfred.

- Thank you.
Both of you do too.

- Nah. What's going on, man?

- After everything
that happened,

I did decide to move back in.

- Back at home with Antonnio?
- Right.

But when we moved in together,
we both agreed

no relationship.

We coexist,
but living together

just needs to be temporary.

I'm gonna just keep
saving up now myself

and try to find something
for me and the kids.

- I think that's really mature
of you guys

'cause the relationship

between you and Antonio
had run its course.

- Exactly, exactly.

- Hopefully things will just
keep getting better,

you get your own place,
make a new relationship happen.

- Oh, yeah, I'm a lot more
happy these days.

- All right, man.
We wish you good luck.

- Thank you. I appreciate it.
- Good luck.

- You guys have a good one.
- Bye.

- Later, man.
- Bye.

- Hey, y'all.
- Hey.

- How are you?
- Good. How are y'all?

- Good. We spoke to Alfred,

and he said
that you guys broke up.

- Yes.

But I did let Alfred
move back in

just for,
like, financial reasons.

- Right, because Alfred said
he'd like to get his own place.

- Yeah, he is in the process
of doing that.

- All right.
- Well, what's your hope,

I guess, moving forward?

Like, do you still want to be
involved in the kids' lives?

- I do. We talk about that.
I've been there

in those kids' lives
while they were in diapers,

so I would still want
to be there.

- Yeah.
- It's gonna be weird,

but it'll be all right.
It'll be all right.

- I'm glad that you
are moving on.

- Good luck with everything,
and all the best.

- Bye.
- Bye.

- Sparkayla has been talking

to this girl, Aretha,
who claims to be

Sparkayla's half-sister
that she's never heard about.

- She said she was looking
for me since I was young.

- What does this girl want?
- Something shady is up.

- Could be thinking
you're talking to a sister,

and you're really
talking to a stalker.

I'm really nervous.
