Dr. Phil interviews Manti Te'o hoaxer Ronaiah Tuiasosopo in a segment to be aired later this week. Dr. Phil says Tuiasosopo had a number of life experiences "that damaged this young man in some very serious ways."
In the interview, Tuiasosopo describes his obsession with the Notre Dame linebacker and Dr. Phil asks if he is gay.
"I said, are you then, therefore, gay? And he says, 'Well, when you put it that way, yes.'"
Tuiasosopo then clarified: "I am confused."
Te'o has denied that he is gay. "Far from it," he told Katie Couric. "Faaaar from it."
