This Guy Got Catfished So Hard, He Thought He Was Dating Katy Perry For Six Years

#1

MTV's Catfish has gotten a lot of people hooked thanks to how they reveal the scams pulled by people who pretend to be someone else. You don't know if you're going to feel sorry for the poor shmuck who has to find out that they got duped, or laugh at them because they expected too much from online dating.

#2

Catfish is a popular show on MTV: It's an addicting docu-series about the lies behind online dating. They have interesting reveals and confrontations, with some being so cringe-worthy that people can't just take their eyes away from the TV when it happens.

#3

They've documented numerous cases of catfishing: The show's been on since 2012, so they've documented pretty epic cases of catfishing from all over the world. Some confrontations happen for the better, while others end up being in denial.

#4

Recently, one, in particular, brought attention: An episode of Catfish recently caught the eye of netizens on social media because of how ridiculous it is. Why? Because a man was gullible enough to believe that his online girlfriend is an international pop star.

#5

A man named Spencer has been in a relationship for six years: Spencer Morrill has been in an online relationship for the past six years. He seems quite happy even if they haven't met, but he's so damn gullible that he may not realize the truth behind it all.

#6

His girlfriend? None other than Katy Perry: Well, if your girlfriend is an international hitmaker named Katy Perry, you're bound to be so happy, no? Because of all the men that she could be dating, she chose someone online!

#7

"It was an immediate connection": While speaking with Catfish presenters, Nev Schulman and Max Joseph, Spencer said that he's exchanged tons of emails and texts with "Katy" and they even say "I love you" to each other.

#8

He only had wonderful things to say about Katy: He thinks "Katy" is really awesome and doesn't know if people are aware of how intelligent she is. Spencer also thinks that Katy's just full of life and has a huge heart.

#9

One of the phone calls they had cost him $270: Since "Katy" is always touring the world, sometimes Spencer has to call long distance to hear her voice. He doesn't mind the charges to his phone bill. It's all for love.

#10

Even going as far as getting her an engagement ring: Because of how smitten he is, he decided to get her an engagement ring. It cost him 25% of his savings, but hey. Who are we to judge? He's just acting out of pure love for the pop star!

#11

He didn't become suspicious even after Katy Perry married Russell Brand: Spencer is so gullible, he didn't mind when Katy married Russell Brand in 2010 around the time when they began dating. He just thought of it as a publicity stunt.

#12

It's been revealed that "Katy" is actually a girl named Harriet: The geniuses behind Catfish discovered that the phone number and the email that Spencer's been contacting actually belonged to a girl named Harriet in Gloucester, England. But of course, Spencer doesn't believe in them.

#13

Harriet even spoke to Spencer in real life: Harriet apologized to Spencer and explained to him that she's actually into girls and was not at all interested in him.

#14

However, Spencer still emails "Katy" and hasn't been convinced of what's true: When MTV caught up with him a few months after, they discovered that Spencer's still contacting the email. Poor guy.
