Catfish - The Ultimate Identity Theft

This is to make up the discussion on the Catfish documentary last Friday, April 17th due to being out of town for tennis.

I was absolutely disgusted with the documentary Catfish.  Angela lied to Nev to the extent that should be punishable by law.  She impersonated 15 people by making fictional accounts on Facebook.  Then, she pretended to be these different people - even communicating with Nev as each different person.  The most disgusting thing out of all of it is how she led Nev on to believe he was in love with someone that was actually fictional.  She was extremely selfish, doing all of this because she didn't like the life that she was trapped in; she decided to make a new fictional life for herself and didn't have any regard for the emotions of other people.  I personally think that Angela is a terrible person and if I were Nev, I would have reacted completely different upon their face to face meeting.  She even kept lying to Nev once they met face to face.  I think it is safe to say, by observing Angela when Nev meets her and by all of the crazy things that she created, that Angela is at least somewhat insane.  I think that she needs to get help.  She undoubtedly has a tough life, taking care of two special needs kids and her daughter, but a lot of people live tough lives.  That alone is no excuse for what she did to Nev.  Angela should give writing fictional books a shot; at least then she wouldn't be taking advantage of other's personal feelings.
