Catfish: The TV Show (2012–…): Season 8, Episode 24 - Tony & Tiana - full transcript

After two years of shady excuses, Tony turns to Nev and Kamie for help in finding out why his online crush Tiana refuses to video chat or meet with him in person.

- Tony's been talking
to this girl, Tiana,

for two years now.

- I caught real deep feelings.

- But it's not adding up.

- Oh, boy.
- [gasps]

She's a liar.
She's a liar.

[tense music]

[whispers]
What are you doing?

- I know you're in there.
This is weird.

- Hold on.
Who--shoot.

[dramatic musical sting]



[funky music]

- This is the original
social media.

- What would be
the modern-day that?

- A BuzzFeed quiz or something.
- Right.

- Which "Catfish" host are you?

- All right, I don't know
exactly how to do it.

But all right, let's try it.
- Max.

- So M-A-X?
Okay.

- And then reveal.
- Okay.

You got Red and Jalissa?
- Oh, no.

- "You seem to have
a hot temper."

This thing is right.
- This is a lie!

- Wait.
- There's no way.

- "Be careful
or you'll get burned.



Bawk, bawk, bitch."

[laughter]
- You're--stop!

[gasps]
What?

- All right.
Interesting.

Enough games and fun.
We have work to do.

[stammers]
I have a DM.

"Hey!
This is Tony.

"I'm 25 from Cincinnati,
and I've been talking

to this girl, Tiana,
for two years now."

- ♪ Hey, baby, hey, hey ♪

♪ You got me feelin'
punch-drunk crazy ♪

- "She's beautiful,
and we talk every day.

"She lives on the west coast,

so meeting
was never an option."

- ♪ Your blessings,
all I ever wanted ♪

- "The thing is,
she always has an excuse

for why she can't video chat."

- ♪ I'm stressed,
you got me feelin' nauseous ♪

- "I love your show,

"but recently
when I was watching it,

"it hit a little
too close to home.

"I realized
this could all be a lie.

It made me sick to my stomach
FR."

- For real.

- "Tiana is everything I want
in a girl.

"I seriously would drop
everything for her,

"but when things are
going good with us,

she disappears for days."

- ♪ I just wanna cry
like lizards ♪

♪ See, I thought
I had a chance ♪

♪ But I guess not ♪

- "I'm questioning everything.

Hope you call.
Tony."

- He sounds like
a hopeless romantic.

You guys will get along.

- [groans]
- [laughs]

- All right, let's call him.

[line trilling]

Tony!
- Oh, my God, hi.

- Oh, I gotta
take my chain out.

Dang, I gotta
take my chain out.

Okay, okay.
[laughter]

- How are you?
What's going on?

- I'm good.
- Nice.

We read your DM.
How did you meet Tiana?

- I met her on Facebook.
She actually added me.

She was cute.
Like, I ain't even gonna lie.

I'm like, "Oh, my God.
She bad."

- And so, what did you say?

- I told her she was cool.

And she look like
a little model.

- She looks like a model?
- Yeah, she really do.

- Uh-oh.
- Is she a model?

Or does she just
look like a model?

- I don't know.
I asked her.

She just said
that she in the Navy

and she 22 years old.

She got a son.

- She lives on the west coast?
- Yeah.

She's staying in San Diego.

- So you've been talking to her
for two years,

but every time you ask to
video chat, she has an excuse?

- Yes, every time
I ask to video her,

it's like either she's
putting her son to sleep,

or she not videoing right now,
she at work.

- So she also has a job
outside of the Navy?

- Yeah, she was working
at Target.

- You guys talk on the phone
a lot?

- Yeah.

- Have you ever heard her
talk to the kid?

- Nah.

- How old is her son
supposed to be?

- Two.

- Do you ever seen pictures
of them together?

- Nah.
[dramatic musical sting]

- So what do you like about her

other than the way
that she looks?

- Her mother skills.

Like, me growing up
in foster care,

I was in 24 different
foster homes.

- Oh, wow.

- So her being a mother,
he ain't in a foster system,

being well tooken care of
as I could tell, so--

- It's commendable that
she's taking care of her son,

but there's no real proof yet
that she has a kid,

or that she even is
who she says she is.

- Does she talk about,
like, being in the Navy a lot?

Is that--
- Not no more.

I think she a stripper now.

- You said
she worked at Target.

- Target probably,
like, a side little job,

but Target
could've been before.

- So why do you think
that she might be a stripper?

- I don't know.

Like, she'll say,
"I'm about to go dance,"

so, you know, sometime
that mean stripping.

- Well--
- Okay.

- Have you guys sent
sexual photos back and forth?

Tell the truth.
- Yeah.

She sent me one of her
playing her [bleep] and stuff.

- Wow.
- Oh, my God.

- [chuckles]

- Two years is a long time
to spend talking to someone

who lives really far away.

- Yeah.

- Why are you investing
so much energy and time

into this relationship?

- I like her vibe.
Her vibe is real cool.

Like, she could talk
about different things

for hours
and still have me interested

in what she gotta say.

And if she really who
she says she is, then damn.

But if she not, then--

both: Damn.
- [laughs]

- I watch y'all show
all the time,

so I'm looking like,

y'all always find out the
person, if they real or not.

- If you meet her
and she is who she says she is,

how are you gonna
make this work?

- I'm gonna really try
to make everything in my power

to make things work.

I'm gonna wanna
move out there.

- Okay, you're ready
to say goodbye to Cincinnati.

- Yeah, we don't got
no beaches up here.

We don't got nothing up here.

- So you could just
fly to California now.

We could figure out
if she's actually in San Diego.

And if she is, then we could
just drive down there.

And if she's not, then
we could go wherever she is.

- Right, 'cause San Diego's
not far from LA.

- No.
- Yeah.

- And then you can come and see

if you really like
this Cali lifestyle.

- Yeah.
- All right, man.

Well, well, I guess
we'll see you soon then.

- All right, bye, y'all.
Thanks.

- Bye.
- Later, Tony.

- Bye.

- I mean, he's obviously
getting catfished.

- Obviously.

- I'm not even sure
she has a kid.

- No, it sounds
like most of his...

infatuation with this girl
is tied

to everything that he's
been through and the fact

that he thinks that
she's a really good mother,

so if she's not
any of those things,

then she's not what
he has made up in his head

and she's also a liar.

[notification chimes]
- Oh, what's this?

Tony texted.
He said,

"Here's what I got about her.
I know y'all want this stuff."

Oh, 'cause he's seen the show.
Oh, so he's just giving us--

- Oh, he's quick.
- Here we go.

"Her name is Tiana [bleep].
She's 22 and her Facebook page.

She also sent me
this address once."

And it's in La Mesa.

Where is that?
Is that near San Diego?

Let's see.
Where is that?

Yeah, it is an address.
Yeah, outside San Diego.

- Not far.

- There's even, like--
it's a house.

- Okay.
- Let's see.

She got her Facebook page here.

Okay, so here's
her profile picture.

Okay, she's very pretty.

- She's definitely provocative.

Wait, look at that picture
with the car.

- That's the same house.
- That's the house.

- That is that same house,

so that might
really be her address

'cause she even said
this is, like, her new car.

And,
"This new ride be poppin'."

- California license plate.
- California license plate.

In front of the house
at that address,

so if there's anything true
about her,

I think it's the address.

- That's her house.

- Tony's in Cincinnati
right now.

We're gonna get him
a flight here tomorrow,

but we don't usually
have an address

that matches something
on the profile,

so we could have him
meet us in San Diego.

We could go now.
- Pop up.

- And so that
when he does get here,

we're already in pursuit.

- We're really switching it up.
- Are you ready?

Let's do it.
- Let's go.

Road trip.

I love an impromptu road trip.
- Yeah.

- ♪ Yeah it's all all all ♪

♪ In your head ♪

- This is exciting.
- Oh, we gotta call Tony.

He doesn't even know
we're doing this yet.

- I know.
Plans have changed.

- Tony.

- So here's the tea.

We found a clue
from the address you sent,

so we are now headed
to San Diego,

so meet us in San Diego.

- Yes.

- All right.
Bye.

- I would love for Tiana
to be this young mother.

- But why is that girl
in the photos

not willing to FaceTime?

That doesn't make any sense
to me.

- Right, and why doesn't she

have a photo
of her with her kid?

Like, of course she would have.
You know what I mean?

- ♪ 'Cause it's all all all ♪

♪ In your head ♪

♪ ♪

- All right, we are
really close now.

- I hope she's there.

- Well, if the car's
in the driveway,

then we know she's home.

And then, we have to decide
what we wanna do.

- Oh, my God.
I'm scared.

That's it.
That's it.

- What?
- That's the house.

Gray, white trim.
- Yeah, that's it.

Okay.
Ooh, there is a car.

We have a different car.
- Different car.

[whispers]
All the blinds are closed.

Oh, my God.
Wait, I'm nervous.

We shouldn't do it.
- [giggles]

- I thought I was
about that life,

and now I'm--I'm nervous.

[laughter]
I don't wanna go in.

Why do you have my side
so close to the door?

- All right, but who's gonna
come out of that door?

Look, I think we should
just poke around.

I mean, that's the point,
is to figure this out, right?

So yeah, we skipped
a few steps, but oh, well.

♪ ♪

- [gasps]

- Hi--oh, hey.
What's up?

Sorry to bother you
and for all the cameras.

I'm Nev.
- I'm Shavon.

- Shavon?
- Yes.

- Nice to meet you.
This is Kamie.

- Kamie.
Nice to meet you.

- This is--
- Weird.

- Weird, I know.
- Yeah.

- Have you seen "Catfish"?
Do you know that show?

- No.
- Oh.

I make that show
and I got my crew here.

- Can we talk outside?
- Oh, oh, sure.

- Thanks.

- We're here because

some guy messaged us

and told us that
he was talking to someone,

and on their Facebook page,

they had a picture
in front of this house

of, like, their car,
so we just were curious.

Her name is--
- Tiana.

- Tiana.

Is that someone
that you are familiar with?

- I don't know no Tiana.
- Okay.

Can I show you this girl, maybe
to see if you recognize her?

- Okay.

No, I don't know her.
- Okay.

- Do you know a Tony?
- No.

- You're not
in an online relationship

with some guy from Cincinnati?

- No, I'm in a relationship,
but not with Tony.

- Okay, do you have a friend
who drives this car?

Do you recognize this car?
- No.

- And that's not your car?
- That's not my car.

- You don't have a roommate
or anything?

- Oh, this is me
and my boyfriend's house.

- Oh, okay.
- I lived here for two weeks.

- Oh, you just moved here.
- Yes, I just moved here.

- But you don't know
who lived here before you?

- No.
- 'Cause--right.

Maybe she moved.
- Maybe.

- How do you think we can
get in touch with the landlord?

- Oh, I don't deal
with my landlord.

- Oh.
- My boyfriend does.

- Oh, okay.

- Could your boyfriend get
your landlord's information?

- Sure, I can ask him.
- Is he here?

- He's not here right now.
- Oh, okay.

Yeah, so what's the best way
to be in touch?

- I can give you my number.
- Okay, cool.

- 619--
- 619.

- [bleep].
- Okay.

Thanks, nice to meet you.
- It was nice meeting you guys.

- Good to meet you.
Thank you for your help.

- Well, she moved, so...

- [groans]
- Even if she was living here--

- I don't know.

- She doesn't
live here anymore,

if that girl's
telling us the truth.

- Why she wanna talk outside?

- I wouldn't necessarily
invite all of us into my house.

- No, me neither,
but she just did it

in such, like, a shady way.

- Here's what I thought
was the shadiest thing.

Never heard of "Catfish"?

Come on.
- [laughs]

- Please.

All right, so let's
go back to the hotel,

let's reset.

We've got some
new information now.

We got her phone number.
- So we can search it.

See you soon, Shavon.

She could've given us any name.
Maybe her name is Tiana.

- Wait, well,
isn't that photo--

isn't there, like, a date?

There's a date stamp,
I think, on that photo.

- [gasps]
Wait.

You're right.
This was on Sunday.

- Just like a few days ago?
- This past Sunday, yes.

[evil laughter]
Gotcha.

Shavon is lying.

- Maybe Tiana was living there,
but moved out,

and for some reason, only then
later posted that photo?

- Stop making excuses
for people.

That doesn't make any sense
to me.

- Right, who knows
what number she even gave me.

- [gasps]
- Before we confront her,

we need to find out more
about Tiana.

- Now we just have
to track her down.

[funky music]

[knocks]
- Hello?

- Tony's here.
- Oh, great.

- He's waiting for us
downstairs,

so let's go meet him.

[hopeful music]

- Hello.
- Hey.

What's up, man?
- How you doing?

- Good to meet you.
- Hi, I'm Kamie.

- How you doing?
- Nice to meet you.

- All right,
let's go down here.

- All right.

- What do you think of Cali
so far?

- It's way different than
Cincinnati, I'll tell you that.

- Well, look,
so we came down here yesterday

because when we looked up
that address you sent us,

we noticed it's the same house
she has in a Facebook post.

- For real?
- So we drove by the house.

The car that she says
is her new car wasn't there.

There was another car.

We knocked on the door,
and some girl answered.

- What?
- Not, obviously, Tiana.

But do you know anyone
named Shavon?

Has Tiana ever mentioned
a friend, or--

- Nah.

- Anyway, and so,
Shavon told us

that she and her boyfriend just
recently moved into that house

two weeks ago.

- Okay.
- And in the moment,

we didn't realize that Tiana
had only just posted that photo

in front of the house of
her car less than a week ago.

- What?
- So--

- It's not adding up.
- Right.

So either Tiana just maybe
lives in the neighborhood,

and randomly passed that house,
took a picture of a car,

and was just like, "This is..."

I mean, maybe she lives
across the street,

or maybe she really
used to live there

and it's an old picture.
- Yeah.

- Or maybe the girl we met
is lying to us

and she does know more
than she's told us.

Maybe it's a friend of hers.
- Sibling.

- Sibling.
- Right, who knows?

I would love
for this girl, Tiana,

to be legit, to have a son,

and all the other stuff
she's told you about herself

to be true,
but you've pointed out

there are a number
of red flags.

Like, have you guys ever
talked about meeting up?

Have you ever made plans?

- I was like,
"I would fly out there."

She always had an excuse
why we couldn't make it up.

Stuff like work,

or, "I don't allow people
in my house,"

or, "I don't allow people
around my son,"

stuff like that,
which I can get

because some people, when
you're just meeting them,

they don't want you
around they son.

- If we find out who Tiana is

and it is the person
that you think it is,

what do you want out
of that relationship?

- If she who she says she is,

like, I have
real deep feelings.

- Do you guys say "I love you"?
- Yeah.

She said she loved me first.

Like, she amazing.

I really--like, I'll be
a father to her son.

- You're interested in helping
her take care of her son?

- Yeah, I feel like what
happened to me in the past,

me growing up
in the foster system,

a lot happened
in the foster system.

24 different foster homes
basically.

- How old were you when
you first entered the system?

- Like five.
- Wow, it's so sad.

- That's why I feel like
I don't want her son

to be lonely like
how I was in the system,

like, when I ain't have nobody
or nothing like that.

- It sounds like this girl
is like your dream girl.

- Yeah.So...

- But I think
the thing with her son

is the fact that there are
no photos on her Facebook

of her with her son.

- Well, aside
from the Facebook page,

does she have other accounts?

Does she have an Instagram,
a Snapchat?

- Not that I know of.
- Okay.

So she only has a Facebook?
- Yeah.

- What about your texts?
Can I see your recent chats?

- I got all the conversations.[snorts]

There's a lot of messages.
- Is this Facebook Messenger?

- Yeah, that's
Facebook Messenger.

- You guys talk a lot.
- Yeah, we talk a lot.

- 'Cause you have--
I see audio calls.

You said, "Good morning."
She said, "Good morning."

- There are a lot
of heart emojis.

- Oh, here we go.Topless.

- Y'all about to see
some weird stuff.

- Oh--ooh!
- Oh.

- [laughs]
- Wow.

I'm awake.
My God.

You send her a lot of calls,

a lot of audio calls
and video chats.

And she doesn't answer
the video chats?

- She just ignores it?
- Yup, messed up.

If you who you say you are,
why you don't wanna video?

Why?
I got hella questions.

- Well, look, Shavon
is probably lying to us,

so before we roll up
on that house again,

why don't we go?

We'll do some investigating.
- Okay.

- You can come with us,
see how we do it.

Hopefully we'll have a lead,

and at the very least, we can
always go back to that house

and grill that girl
a little bit more.

- And knock over
her trash cans.

- Let's go figure this out.

All right, good to get you
out of the hotel

so you can see
a little bit of San Diego.

- It's dope.
It's really fly.

- We found a good, little café
where we can sit,

do some research.

[exciting music]

All right, let's do it.
- Gracias.

♪ ♪

- Okay, first things first,

let's start with
a phone number search.

Do you know how to do this?

You do.
Have you done it?

- No.
[chuckles]

- Ignorance is bliss.

- [chuckles]
- All right.

Let's see what
that comes back with.

No name associated
with this number.

- That's real interesting.

- So let's do the number
we got for Shavon

just to make sure she's legit.

No results.

I wonder if she just
gave us a bogus number.

- [gasps]
- Weird, all right.

Let's take some pictures
and download them

from her Facebook page.

Let's do an image search.

No.
All right.

Let's see this one.

No.
No, we have nothing there.

Okay, so the phone number,nothing.

The pictures, nothing.

You wanna search Instagram
for Tiana [bleep]?

- Ah,
Tiana-underscore-official.

- Oh, and there's--look at her!
- That's her.

- With way more pictures
and videos.

- Dang.

- But she didn't tell you that
she has other social media?

- Yeah.
- Okay, wait.

Every post on this page

was made the same day.

They were all put up
December 21st, 2016,

which is super weird.
- That's very strange.

- Well, it feels like
someone just put up

a bunch of pictures
on this account

to make it as a fake account.

And then it was abandoned.
- That's crazy.

- Not tagged in anything.

And there are likes, but
there are very few comments.

- Some fishy's stuff.

- Now it's not impossible

that someone made
a fake account of her.

Let's take a closer look
at her Facebook page.

Wait a second.
Details.

- Shawntiana.
- Nickname is Tiana.

Also nicknamed Shawntiana,

so that is probably her name.

Does she ever
call herself that?

- No, I never heard her
call herself that.

- Okay, so this
definitely changes things.

Let's do Shawntiana [bleep],
San Diego

and see what happens.

What is this?
Oh, my goodness!

Another Facebook page.
I mean, oh, my God.

This goes back
from, like, 2013, 2015.

I mean, this profile
looks kind of legit.

There's lots of comments.

It would be a very
elaborate fake account.

Maybe the real girl
in the pictures is

this girl, Shawntiana,
and the Tiana profile is fake.

- What about on Instagram?

[dramatical musical sting]
- Shawntiana.

- Boom, look at this.
We got an Instagram page.

At least there's pictures
of her with her kid.

"Aww, I miss my baby,
and y'all look pretty."

Shavon!
- [gasps]

Shavon [bleep].

- That's the girl
we talked to yesterday.

- What?
- Shavon is a liar!

She's a liar.

- At the very least,
she knows Tiana.

Maybe she has been pretending
to be Tiana.

- [gasps]

Ooh, Shavon, honey.

- We gotta go back
and talk to Shavon.

- All right, here's
what we do know.

We know Shavon lied to us.
- Right.

- There's now
a direct connection

between Tiana and Shavon,
so either Shavon is Tiana,

or Tiana is in that house.

- Somebody lying.

- Yeah.
Big time.

- What do you think
at this point, Tony?

- I have no idea.
I'm confused.

I'm really confused.

- It's coming up.
Nothing.

Okay, so there's
another car there,

but not Tiana's.

- Mm-hmm.

- All right, well,
I'm ready to check it out.

- Yeah.
- You don't wanna call first?

- What, call first?
Let's just--we--

She lied to us yesterday.
Let's call her out.

- Boldfaced lied.
- Oh, I see a light on.

who Tiana is?

[phone chimes]
- Tony.

- What?

- Let's just meet downstairs
in the production room.

- She was there.
Watching me.

- Okay, let's go in here.
It's too loud out here.

- Did Kamie have
a black shirt on last night?

- Yeah.
Kamie, did you hear this?

- What?

- You had a black shirt on
yesterday?

- Wait, watch this.
Look, look.

Tiana texted him a video.

- From yesterday
talking to Shavon.

- I haven't seen this yet.

- And that's her voice.

- Oh--
- Yes!

- That was yesterday.
- So that was us yesterday.

- What the hell?
So she was in the house?

- She was in the house,
which is why Shavon said,

"Don't come in here," so okay.

So we know Shavon and Tiana
are different people.

- Mm-mm-mm,
what did she say with at?

"If I wanted to meet, I
could have done it yesterday."

So she's saying, like,
"If I wanted to meet you,

I would've came outside
yesterday."

- But I wasn't there.

- So she's being shady
and she's being rude.

- But that means
she saw us yesterday,

knew we were trying
to meet up with her,

would've had a chance
to contact us or you,

and instead of saying,
like, "Hey, I wanna meet you,

"but I wasn't ready.
Like, let's make a time,"

she sends you that video
and, like--

- And a rude ass message.

That message,
what I get from it--

and I could be wrong,
but I rarely am--

says, "[bleep] off,
I don't wanna talk to you.

"If I wanted to talk to you,

"I would've made that happen
and I would've talked to you,

but I don't want to,
so go away."

- But even just sending
that message to me means,

"I wanna discuss this.
I know what's going on."

'Cause if she didn't wanna meet
and we had showed up,

she would've just blocked him,
turned him off,

and, like, that would've
been the end of it.

- Are we living
in the same universe?

- No, I'm just saying.
She's engaging.

- She's engaging
'cause she's saying,

"[bleep] you!
Stop coming over my house!"

- But that's not what she said.

- "If I wanna see you,
I'll come outside."

This is not a good sign, guys.

I hate to break it
to all of y'all.

- Yeah, but see, I don't know.
- What did you respond?

- All right, well, let's see if
she gets back to you tonight.

And if she does, then
we have an answer, great.

And if not, we'll have
to restrategize.

- It's a waiting game now.

[tense music]

[melancholic music]
[knocks]

Open up.
- Hey.

- Hello.
- Oh.

You got any updates for us?
- Nah.

both: Nothing?
- She ain't read it or nothing.

- Well, I think we should try
to contact her again

and give her one more chance
to change her mind.

I don't know what we can say
to encourage her.

- This is the time for you
to put your foot down

and be like, "If you're
not gonna do it now,

"it's not gonna happen,
and I'm gonna go home.

"And you're gonna
go about your life,

and I'm gonna go about mine.
Bye."

- Bet.
[descending tone]

- Oh, she just texted me.
- Shut up.

- Come on.
- What did she say?

- She said, "Hey, he's been
blowing me up all morning

"and I just got off
the night shift.

"If he really wants
to meet now,

"I'll send you a friend's
address where we can meet

'cause I don't need
any more drama at my place."

- What?

- "Yes, he definitely

wants to meet."

- Did you hit her up
this morning?

- Have you been blowing up
her phone all morning?

- I called one time.
[descending tone]

- Great, she sent an address.

She said, "On my way.
I'll meet you there."

"Okay, great.
See you soon."

- Lord, have mercy.
I'm not ready.

- Yeah, I'm ready.
I'm ready.

Girl, I got some questions.

- All right, well--
- Let's get it.

- Let's get it.

[eerie music]

- So what if you find out
that for the past two years,

she's just been playing you,
and playing games,

and just talking to you
for fun?

That's all I gotta say.

♪ ♪

- This is it.

- That's it?
- This is her friend's place.

She should be here.

- And I got questions.

- Let's go see
who you've been talking to.

♪ ♪

She said to use a side door.
- Tony.

This girl probably isn't
who she said she is,

and clearly, this

- Should we go
through the doggy door?

- I wonder if she's here yet.

- If we're knocking

I'm gonna be very upset.

There's another door

- Over here?
- Yeah.

Oh, oh, yeah.

Shoot.

[tense music]

Shoot.

- What?

[dramatic musical sting]
Hi, I'm Nev.

- Tiana.
- Tiana.

- Kamie.
Nice to meet you.

- And you know Tony.

[exciting music]

Obviously, you're you.
It's you in the pictures.

So it's confusing to me
why we're here.

What's up with all
of your profiles?

We found, like,
an older Facebook--

- Oh, yeah,

probably from a long time ago
when I was younger.

That's my Facebook
since I've been an adult.

The other stuff is,
like, when I was younger.

- Okay, fine.

And you have a son who's two?
- Yeah.

- And that's it?
Just one son?

- Yeah.
- What do you do for work?

- I work at a nightclub.
- Dancing?

- No, it's, like, bartending
and stuff like that.

- Have you ever been
in the Navy?

- No.

- It does say
you're in the Navy.

- Yeah, I know.
- So that was a lie?

- Well, it says that because
I was going to the Navy.

It was a process.

I never went to my boot camp,
so no.

My son's dad is
in the military.

That's about it.

- And then,
do you work at Target?

- No, I told you I worked
at Marshalls, Walmart.

Maybe you're getting stuff
confused

because I never worked
at a Target.

- Very different.
[laughter]

- Who is Shavon?
Is she your roommate?

- Yeah.

- But on your Facebook page,
you posted a photo of a car.

That's your car?
- Well, that's her car.

- But you posted it
as if it was your car.

- No, my caption said,
"This car is poppin'."

- It said, "New car poppin'."

- I guess it's Shavon's
new car, or I don't know.

- I mean,
that's just how I talk.

- So did you tell Shavon
to lie to us?

- I mean, yeah.

- And why did you take a video
of us talking to her?

- 'Cause I just felt
at the time, it was extra.

Like, I was not ready for that.
- Why?

It's been two years since you
first started talking to Tony.

- Tony, mm-mm.
Mm-mm.

- What is going on
with you guys?

Why haven't you FaceTimed?

- Honestly, I was going
through a situationship,

but he knew about that,

and I was living
with my son's dad

and we was co-parenting.

- I know, but you can
find five minutes to...

Is this a relationship
that you were serious about?

- We friends.

- Okay, but Tony describes this
relationship a lot differently.

So at the beginning,
or at any point,

did you think that this
could be more than friends?

- Yeah.
Back then, yeah.

- So towards the beginning?
- Yeah.

[dramatic musical sting]

- But is it totally wrong
of him to think

that there is something
between you?

- Yes, because I've told him

about dudes
that I'm talking to.

I always unfriend you.

I have unfriended you
at least 30 times.

- Never, never.
- What?

- [scoffs]
- Never.

- I wish I could prove it,
but I can't obviously

'cause we Facebook friends now,

but I have deleted you
multiple--a lot of times, Tony.

- Never.

- Have you flat-out
told him, like,

"I'm not interested.
Stop calling me"?

- Yes, there have been times
where I told Tony

stop calling me
and stop texting me.

Have I, or have I not?
- You only told me one time.

- Okay, one time.
And what you do?

You still hit me up, right?

- 'Cause if you hit me up,
I call back.

- Oh, my God.
So I called you?

- You called me that day

talking about something
about some [bleep].

I don't know what the [bleep]
you was talking about.

- Tony, you sound dumb,
and honestly, you're pushy.

You're extra.
You're disrespectful.

I mean...

So--
- What?

- Nah, I said--

- You said,
"I knew you was a thot."

What was I doing
to make me a thot?

- You talk to hella people.
What you mean?

- Okay, but you lied
about a kid.

- I never did lie.

- You told me
you didn't have a kid,

and then a kid just appeared
on your Facebook.

- Wait, do you have a kid?

- Yeah, I got a son.
- What?

How old is your son?
- One.

- That's something
that you tell somebody

that you supposedly
talk to, right?

- I can understand
being confused,

and a little surprised,
and upset

to find out that a guy
that I'm talking to

didn't mention
that he has a kid.

I'm surprised that
I didn't know he had a kid.

- Me and my baby mama
wasn't talking.

Me and my baby mama don't talk.

We [bleep] around two times,
three times.

- Did you know that
your baby mama was pregnant

when she was pregnant,
or did you not find out--

- I didn't find out
until after.

- Hold on a second.

All of this is irrelevant

if you don't actually
have feelings for him.

- Well, it went out the window
once he did all that.

- So you did?
- Yup.

- So your interest in Tony
was real,

but over time,
you just lost interest?

- Yeah.
Y'all don't understand.

Tony can get annoying
as [bleep].

Like, he blows me up,
and I don't like that.

To be honest, I even told you
I could be busy,

I could be busy with my kid.

When you blow me up
and call me, like, 10 times,

I just feel like
you've been stalking me.

[dramatic musical sting]

- Can we see
some of the messages?

- Okay, so...

That's Tony.
Tony two times.

Tony, and Tony five times.

- But you're saying
he blows your phone up a lot?

- He blows me up.

He do stuff that
he don't need to be doing.

Like, I don't like
that blowing me up stuff.

I don't like that.

- We see the phone records.

[dramatic musical sting]

- Clearly...there's
more to the story.

There's two sides, for sure.

Maybe now, we can talk
to you guys separately

and just sort of feel this out

as to where
we're gonna go with this

that is the best
for each of you?

- Yeah.
- All right.

Well, we'll see
if we can dig a little deeper.

- You've got some explaining
to do, buddy.

Like, come on.

- You've got some explaining
to do, buddy.

So clearly there are bits
and pieces of this story

that you have been leaving
out for whatever reason.

- Everything was the truth.
Tiana just lying.

- But how is it the truth
if you're telling us

that you didn't
hit her up today,

you didn't call her
except for the one time?

- I did call her one time.
- You didn't blow her up?

But you texted her
all that [bleep]?

Like, come on.
- Oh, yeah.

I don't know 'cause
I wanted to know answers.

- Yeah, but that's fine,
but at the same time,

like, if somebody's
not responding to you,

at some point, you have
to take a [bleep] hint.

- [clicks tongue]

- It's clear that you have
over and over again

engaged with him.
- Yeah.

- Somehow, he got
the impression

that you guys were much
more serious than you thought.

But, like, you understand that
you've given him mixed signals?

- Yeah.
Mm-hmm.

- Over the last two years.
- Sometimes.

- Is that fair to say?
I mean...

- Kind of.

I mean, I don't wanna call him
a stalker or nothing like that,

but he is delusional, so--

- You say delusional.

Is that because you think
he's crazy to imagine

that he has a chance
to be with you?

- Hmm, he just--like,
he claims me in general.

Like, he tells people
that I'm his girl.

I think that's delusional.

Either you know that we're
not in a relationship--

we've never been
in a relationship.

And we never discussed it like,

"Oh, we're gonna be together,"
and stuff.

I've never told Tony that ever.

- Now you need to be
really, really clear with him.

- Okay.

- Because if you're
not interested in him

and a relationship, you need
to make that very clear to him.

- Okay.

- So what's up
with calling her a thot?

- I don't know.
She was acting like a thot.

She do be acting like a thot.

- If you think
these things about her,

then why keep talking to her?

Why not just let it go?
- I'm cool on her.

If she text me...

And then make a video
with a girl,

post it on my Facebook, and
say, "My new little bitch."

- Don't go home
and do some petty [bleep]

and not expect for her
to say something about it.

- I'm not gonna do
no petty stuff!

I'm gonna--I ain't
gonna talk to her

unless she texts me
and say something,

and I might say hi.

- Honestly,
you both just need

to stop talking
to each other forever.

But I think moving forward
with women just in general,

it's just, like,
being honest upfront.

If a guy that I'm talking
to calls me a bitch and a thot,

that's the last conversation
that we will ever have.

Don't be calling no women
no bitches no more.

- I got it.

I'ma gonna handle it
like a professional man.

[giggles]
- Okay.

We're having a lesson
in how to treat women.

- Well, if we want,
we can go upstairs, talk.

You guys can talk
a little bit more

and we can figure this out.

- I'll finish talking.

- All right, let's go.

[tense music]

Why don't we all have a seat?

We can talk like adults,

like respectful adults.

- Respectful.

- I think it's important
that you guys are

finally meeting each other,
clearing the air,

being clear with each other.

I think you guys both
do have things

you wanna say to each other.

Does anyone wanna start?
- Go ahead.

- Yeah, I do [bleep] with you.
I [bleep] with your vibe.

Like, I like your vibe
and [bleep].

- I just don't appreciate
that, you know,

you're just talking about,
I'm a thot and all that.

- You ain't no thot.
- But you--

- Like I don't feel
like you a thot,

but it just--I got mad for me
coming all the way down here.

I ain't think
you was gonna meet up.

I just got mad.
Like, damn.

- But, like, that's
childish as [bleep].

- 'Cause I--

- But I'm just saying
that's childish.

- I wanted to meet, like--
- Okay, listen.

Listen, that's childish
as [bleep], though.

Like, "Oh, well, since--"

- Speak for yourself.
- You was wrong too.

- You guys have been,
for whatever reason,

choosing to be kind of rude
to each other.

Recognize that your behavior
has led to a situation

that's less than ideal, and
hopefully apply that knowledge

across all
of your relationships.

- So what are we doing
from this point on?

- Well, I feel like maybe
we shouldn't be friends.

[dramatic musical sting]

- You ain't had
to say all that now.

Damn.

- It is what it is.

- Okay, that's all.
I hear you.

- This is a good place
to leave it.

Let's head outside,
and we'll say goodbye,

and we'll head out.
