Voice of Tino Tuiasosopo (Photo) Not Ronaiah Says Family

If you haven’t heard the taped phone calls of Notre Dame linebacker, Manti Te’o and his fictitious girlfriend, Lennay Kekua, watch the interview video here. The voice of the girl was believed to be falsetto voice of Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, the guy behind the hoax. However, today, Ronaiah’s family commented that it was indeed the voice of a real girl! Manti Te’o was talking to Ronaiah’s female cousin, Tino Tuiasosopo (photo below).

Now it gets complicated. How many people are involved in this elaborate hoax?
Tino Tuiasosopo

One of the Tuiasosopo sources said to the NY Post, “That’s the way [Tino] cries when she’s feeling sorry for herself. Its her, that’s the voice.”

Tino, in her mid-20s, lives in Pago Pago, American Samoa. She works for her dad’s construction company and is described by relatives as vivacious and flirtatious, but very involved in the church. In a profile on the social networking site BEBO from 2008, she lists “acting” as a hobby.
