She comes across Steve also big on social media.
She starts doing whatever she can
to get his attention - Titty pics.
- I'm like, "Wow, this is my soul mate."
But every time I would say, "Hey, let's meet,"
He would come up with some excuse.
- Oh! They know each other.
Oh, man. Are we getting [bleep] with?
- I wasn't seeing that coming whatsoever.
- Oh, he said, "I've been waiting for this time to talk."
- This is about to be dramatic. - Shut the [bleep] up.
[dramatic music sting]
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
- What type of nondairy milk is this, almonds?
- That's almond no sugar.
- I love that you preface that nondairy
'cause it--like, it better be. - [chuckles]
- This is the life.
I feel like we're in a vacation commercial.
- This feels like a hotel breakfast.
- It feels like a really nice vacation.
Like, I feel like there should be sand and beaches behind us,
someone's feeding me grapes.
[laughter]
- All right. Guess we should get to work.
- Yeah. Let's go, Biggie.
- All right.
Let's see what's in the old inbox.
Here's an email.
Is he lying or just afraid of commitment?
Dear Nev and Kamie, hi, I'm Diamond.
I'm a 23-year-old Instagram model
living in Miami.
A year ago, I started talking with Steve.
Steve is a big YouTuber.
♪ ♪
- An Instagram model and a YouTuber.
- It sounds like the beginning of joke.
An Instagram model and a YouTuber walk into a bar.
- Can I get this drink for free if I post?
- Yeah.
[laughter]
A year and a half ago, he posted on Instagram that he
wanted people to text him. - Thirsty.
- I was a huge fan, so I jumped at the chance,
and I sent him a slightly scandalous picture.
He didn't respond to my message that day,
but six months later,
he was blowing up my phone.
We've been hot and heavy ever since.
He's super hot,
super manly, and everything I've been looking for.
I love how sexy and fun we are together,
but I don't love that Steve always seems too busy for me.
- ♪ Our love needs some reviving ♪
♪ And you ever need reminding ♪
- Never video chats, and when he's been in my area,
he's too busy to meet.
- ♪ All you need is one sip to remember ♪
- ♪ That you said our love, it would last forever ♪
- Or is Steve just being true
to his commitment-phobic nature?
Hoping you two can finally get him
to see me face-to-face. Diamond.
♪ ♪
All right, let's text her.
Hey, Diamond. It's Nev and Kamie.
We are super hot
social media influencers.
Jump in our Zoom.
We're talking about an Instagram model
and a YouTuber who haven't video chatted.
What possible explanation could there be
for the two of them to not have communicated?
- Right. That doesn't make sense.
- No, it doesn't. - Oh, she said yes.
Heart eyes. We have to take our selfies.
We have to be, like, influencing.

[phone chimes]
- Hey! - Diamond!
- Hi, y'all
- Wow, look at those claws.
- Yes, let me see. Nail check.
- Whoa--oh, wait, butterflies? - Oh, my God.
- Yeah. - Ooh, cute.
- What's up? Are you in Miami?
- Yes, I live in Miami, Florida,
but I'm from Ohio.
- Tell us a little bit more about you.
I want to know everything.
- I'm an Instagram model, TikToker, and pop star,
so that's, like, my income. - Whoa.
- Who are your pop star inspirations?
- Britney Spears for sure.
I was at the front lines of all the Free Britney protests.
I'm bringing back the old era. I do have an album coming out.
It's amazing. - Really?
That's my pop name.
- EBT baby is your stage name? - Yeah.
- Is that because you personally
were on food stamps as a kid?
- Yeah, growing up. I grew up very, very poor.
It's like, you know, kind of saying look at me now.
My first hit single was "EBT Baby,"
and the lyrics, it's like, "EBT baby, GED lady,
coochie so good like gravy."
Kind of saying, like,
"Hey, I went from EBT to GED.
I own two businesses, you know. I do everything myself.
- Wow.
- You know, I try to be an inspiration
for everyone that, you know, you could grow up with nothing.
You can grow up in a [bleep] environment,
and you can make something out of yourself.
- okay, so you have a lot going on
and somehow, someway,
you're still finding time to talk to Steve.
- Yes, basically, he's in, like,
a group on YouTube, right?
- Who is he? What group is this?
- Nelk Boys. - Nelk Boys.
- Yeah, they do a bunch of,
like, pranks and stuff like that.
- Got it, okay, so let's go to their YouTube channel.
They're verified. - Oh, 6.6 million?
- Yeah, they're celebrities.
I've watched their videos here and there.
They're really funny.
I've just always been a fan of them,
and then Steve got introduced, and it was love at first sight.
- Wait, SteveWillDoIt? - Steve!
- Yeah, he's very sexy.
You'll know it's him because the muscles.
- 3.3 million subscribers?
- Yeah, just from, like, the YouTube videos,
me and Steve have so much in common.
I'm like, "Wow, this is my soulmate."
One day, they said that they come out
with this fan club. All you gotta do is text it.
So I texted it.
I sent, you know, little titty pics,
you know, and I said give this to Steve, and then--
- [laughs]
- You just sent a titty pic to a group text number?
- She said, "Send it to Steve." This is for Steve.
- But you can't forward a titty pic.
- How else was I supposed to reach him, you know?
But then, like, I didn't get a response,
so I was like, "Whatever."
Couple months go by, and, all of a sudden,
I get a text saying, "Hey, this is Steve."
And he started talking to me, texting me.
Everything that he was saying sounded like something
SteveWillDoIt would say to be honest.
And I was still skeptical for a little while.
But one day he said, I'm with the president
and I was like, "Just shut up."
I literally look on Instagram,
and he's on Air Force One with Donald Trump,
and he texted me before that was even posted on Instagram.
- Right. - Hmm.
- And mind you, I follow Steve on all fronts.
- Right.
- There was so many things that he would say
in the text messages that would add up.
- What do you guys talk about
when you're not just talking about
all the cool stuff he's doing?
- Steve's a freak. It gets real sexual.
- Okay, but you guys don't just talk
about getting freaky, right?
- No, we have this, like, kind of, like,
lighthearted conversations
and, like, he has done a lot for me.
Like, my brother, he was in prison.
He wrote to my brother, and he sent him commissary
and everything, and, like, he's done
really sweet things that he didn't have to do, you know?
And it's like, "Why would some random person do this
if it wasn't SteveWillDoIt, you know?
- Has he sent you money?
- No, but he asked if he could send me money once.
I was like, "No, I'm not a gold digger," you know?
But he has sent me lingerie. He sent me a signed T shirt.
He sent me Uber Eats too a couple of times.
- Huh.
- And the thing is, on the T shirts,
on the lingerie, it came from a PO box in California.
- So he lives in California?
- He lives in L.A., but he is always in Miami.
Always.
There's been times where,
according to Steve's Instagram story,
we're five minutes away from each other.
But every time I would say, "Hey, let's meet."
He would come up with some excuse.
And another thing is that I consistently message him
on Instagram, but he said
he can't interact with me on social media
because of his management.
- That whole thing about I can't interact with you
on social media 'cause my management
is [bleep].
- He said it's contracts. - But wait a second.
That doesn't explain why he can't just FaceTime
with you on his phone.
- Right. - His personal phone.
Have you guys even talked on the phone?
- Two weeks ago when I was getting very sassy with him
and I let him know I'm going to write into "Catfish,"
I told him, "I am going to tell them all about you.
"They're experts. They know how to spot lies.
They are going to figure this out."
And he called me on the phone for about 30 seconds
and it definitely was SteveWillDoIt's voice.
It was definitely Steve's voice.
- What did he say?
- He was like, "Hey, sexy,"
like, and stuff like that, and then he just hung up,
and then he said that the boys came in the room.
Like, his homeys.
- But has Steve ever said, "I love you.
I want to be with you. I want to be together?"
- Yeah, all the time.
Like, "I love you, baby," but we fight a lot too.
But it always ends up, like, kisses and hugs virtually.
- What are you fighting about?
- He's always with other females.
- Are you seeing things on his Instagram
and then being like,
"Who the [bleep] is that that you're with?"
- Yeah, I'm just aggravated, and he says, "It's a joke.
He has an excuse for everything.
I'm so confused, and I'm so torn.
- Whether it's the real Steve or not,
wouldn't you consider their sort of behavior
and the way that they've treated you
to somewhat warrant
not wanting to pursue them anymore anyway?
- Well, I kind of like assholes,
Like, I don't mind that, so, li you know?t know.
- So you said that the conversations
have gotten freaky-deaky. - Yeah.
- Oh.
- Well, bring us up-- bring up your phone.
I want to see their convos. - Not the pics!
- Okay, let me connect my phone.
- Oh, there you go.
- Our everyday convos are sweet.
Like, "How's your parents' house?"
"Man, it's lit. I love my parents."
And then--oh. - Oh, that's it?
That's what you're worried about showing us?
- No, there's other stuff. - Oh.
- Oh, this is the one. - Ah!
- Oh! - This one really sold me.
- Why does he not have pants on in his car?
Why is he fully nude in his car?
- [laughs] I don't know.
- He pulled his pants all the way down to his ankles?
- Your response was hilarious.
"It'd look better in your Tesla."
- 'Cause it's a Ford.
- I'm taking it off. It's too embarrassing.
- Jesus Christ. - You live in Miami.
There must be lots of guys trying to date you.
Have you just not talked
to any guys since you started talking to Steve?
- My heart's not open to, like, kind of, you know,
really getting in, like,
an intimate relationship with somebody.
This is taking a toll on my life emotionally
because it's like I'm looking to settle down.
I'm looking to find the one.
And it's like, you know, I think I found him,
but it's also like I don't even know
who I'm really talking to at the end of the day.
Is it someone on his team who knows so much about him?
Is it him? I don't know.
- I'ma be honest with you,
I'm not seeing Steve at the end of the tunnel.
- But here's the thing.
Steve obviously has
a verified Instagram account. - Mm-hmm.
- We have verified Instagram accounts.
If it's cool with you as part of our investigation
for us to just reach out to Steve.
Is that okay if we do that?
- That's fine 'cause maybe since
you're verified, he'll see it.
- Send us another email
with all the info you have for Steve.
Hopefully, we'll have some answers.
- All right. Thank you.
- Later, D. - Bye.
EBT Baby out.
- It's easy to come up with a million scenarios
where this is not Steve. - Mm-hmm.
- But, to be fair,
there are some things about it that are interesting.
The fact that he's getting inside information
before it seems to be posted anywhere.
The contact started because of a number that they posted.
There's clearly a connection to the real guy.
Could this be, like, a prank video
that they've been teeing up for months?
- [gasps]
- I do think it could be
someone close to SteveWillDoIt.
- All right, we've got a girl, Diamond.
Very ambitious young lady.
She comes across the Nelk Boys, sees one, and immediately says,
like, "Oh, my God, this guy Steve is so cute."
Apparently, she follows him on YouTube, Instagram,
really likes his personality and essentially starts
doing whatever she can to get his attention.
- She sent titty pics. - Doesn't hear anything back.
Months go by, and she gets a message from a new number
that says, "Hey, it's Steve."
They start texting, talking quickly,
gets very flirtatious and sexual.
- Mm-hmm.
- She says she talked to this guy on the phone
just once for a minute.
Anyway, so they've now been talking over a year.
There are things that have happened that do suggest
that it potentially either him or someone very close to him
because he'll tell her things before they go online
about what he's doing like being on Air Force One.
You know, how did he know that?
- The fact that he can actually corroborate
what the actual Steve is doing
in his real life on his account,
it has to be someone within the real Steve's team.
- Right. All right.
Well, let's see here. We got an email from Diamond.
"Hey, guys, I think this is everything you asked for."
- I love this email. Very structured.
- So here's Steve's socials. His Instagram.
His Snapchat, TikTok, Twitter, YouTube, Twitch.
"And then the first number that I messaged Steve on
was the text group thing."
- That's an L.A. number. - Right.
- "And the current number he's hitting me up from"
is this, and the iPhone he messaged me
for the first couple of weeks was this.
Weird. - That's a Florida area code.
- I've also attached screenshots.
So he sent a picture of himself in a car.
- In a Tesla.
Look at the [bleep] logo. That's a Tesla.
- Oh, my God, you're right.
- And the other one he said, "Wrong way."
- Right, and then said, "Wrong way, oops."
And then he sent [bleep] pic, and it's a Ford.
- That is a random [bleep]. - Right.
- From Google. - Obviously.
I think we should search the [bleep].
- Search the [bleep].
- Searching the [bleep] pic.
[dramatic music]
No hits on that pic.
Look, for sure,
we should be able to get in touch with Steve.
- Yeah. - Let's find his page.
All right, let's message this guy.
Hey, Steve.
- It's Neve. - It's Neve.
Need your help with a catfish case.
Hope you will do it, ha ha. Hit me back ASAP, thanks.
All right. So that's sent.
- Mm-hmm, I just wonder if their social media manager
or somebody would be-- like, who is their management?
- Here, let's do SteveWillDoIt.
Stephen-- here we go--Deleornadis
better known by his social media handle SteveWillDoIt
is an American YouTuber and entertainer.
- Steve is managed by John Shahidi.
- I know that guy. I know who that is.
- How do you know him? - I met him years ago.
- So hit him up.
- Okay, I guess I gotta text him.
- Wow, it's so great to be connected.
[soft dramatic music]
- So I just filled him in on the story.
Hopefully, he gets back to us. What?
Should we look up the numbers, I guess,
while we're waiting? - Yes.
- Let's just search the current number.
♪ ♪
- Bandwidth.com, so it was a text app.
- Let's do the number that first responded to her
like, "Hey, it's Steve." - A Florida number.

- Hm, Myles [bleep].
Let's go to Diamond's Instagram.
All right, all right, I'm in.
So let's go to her followers, and let's search for Miles.
Ugh, nothing.
Hold on a second, we've definitely got
a lead here with this Myles [bleep] character.
- Mm-hmm.
- Let's look this up on Facebook.
Okay, there are some people who come up.
Unfortunately, we don't have a specific lead here.
- Cash App always brings us luck.
- I always forget. Yes, Cash App.
- If we run the phone number.
- Oh, oh! [bleep].
- Heather Grayson. - Heather.
- Who is that?
- This is the number she got the first message from.
- Mm-hmm.
- I wonder if Diamond is friends
with Heather on Instagram.
Oh, oh! She's--she follows her.
- But does Heather follow her back?
- Smokingcigs, does she follow?
- It says "followed by Heather Grayson."
- She does, right.
Oh, my God, they know each other.
- Wait a minute. I recognize her.
This person is a famous TikToker.
- Doesn't say she has a TikTok on her Linktree.
- There, yes. - Oh.
- There is a Heather Grayson. Heatherxgrayson.
- Oh, [bleep], what? With a lot of people.
- She her. - A lot of views.
- Okay, what's this girl doing messing around with Diamond?
- Right, that is the question.
Maybe this is some sort of
TikTok clout chasing shenanigan.
- There's too many coincidences linked together
for us not to hit up Heather. - Right.
- My instinct is that maybe the phone number
is linked to Heather's dead name
because I can see in her bio
she's trans and like-- - Oh, really?
- Yeah, so perhaps the number is linked to her dead name
or maybe her parents name or something.
- Which could have been that name that we found.
- Myles whatever, it may be--[bleep]--yeah.
- All right, let's call the number
because obviously we have to get to the bottom of this.
All right.
[line trilling]
- Hey, this is Nev from the show "Catfish."
Is this Heather?
Great.
- Hey there.
We are doing an episode right now.
Do you know a girl named Diamond or EBT Baby?
♪ ♪
- But you do follow her on Instagram.
- Oh, interesting, okay, because here's what's up.
So she reached out to us
because she has been talking to this guy for a while now.
When she first started talking to him
a little over a year ago,
he had a phone number on Cash App...
- Mm-hmm. - Came back to you.
- Okay, so I'm just trying to--
maybe you can help us understand how could it be
that Diamond would give us your number
and say this was the number I talk to this guy on.
Do you guys have beef?
Is there--would there be some reason for her to want to,
like, mess with you?
Do you know the Nelk Boys? Do you know those guys?
- Or do you know anyone that works with them
or who, like, is good-- maybe good friends with them?
- So the other thing is, when we search this number,
the number comes back to a Myles.
- Right. - Okay, that makes sense.
- No, we figured that.
- And you pinky swear, cross your heart, hope to die
stick a finger in your eye that you're not lying to us?
- All right, well, look, you come across any information
that you think could be helpful,
don't hesitate to reach out.
- All right. - Thanks, Heather.
Bye. - Bye.
Do you believe her?
- I do. - I want to believe her.
- I do.
- But there is such an undeniable,
crystal-clear connection. - Yeah.
- This has been my number for five years.
Oh, well, then how come a year and a half ago,
according to Diamond, she got a message for you.
So if that's true,
we now have to assume that Diamond's lying to us.
- Mm-hmm.
- Oh, man. Are we getting [bleep] with?
- They think we're [bleep] stupid?
♪ ♪
[phone ringing]
- Oh, Steve's manager is calling me.
Yo, Johnny. [laughs]
What's up, man? How are you?
- Are you part of the Nelk guys?
- Cool. So here's what's up.
Like I explained in my message,
we're doing an episode of "Catfish,"
and this girl, Diamond, is a fan of the Nelk Boys
and has now for a year or so
been thinking she's talking to Steve.
- She probably isn't.
- Could it be, like, a really long lead thing
that you guys are doing to, like, sort of prank some girl?
- Right, and does anybody have access to the messages
that you guys get that works for you
that would like potentially respond?
- And does Steve have a girlfriend?
- Not anymore.
You guys have never heard of a girl who goes
by Diamond or EBT Baby?
- Okay, I mean, obviously, we would love
to be able to get Steve to FaceTime with us,
so if you do talk to him and there's any chance
that he would be willing to jump on,
like, a five-minute FaceTime, that would be huge.
- 'Cause I think it would mean a lot
for her coming from him to know
for sure that, like, it's not him.
- Perfect. Nice to meet you, Kyle.
- Later.
Wow. I guess I should text Kamie.
I gotta text Kamie now. I'll just FaceTime her.
[line trilling]
- Hey. - So check this out.
Johnny FaceTimed me, and he was sitting with Kyle,
one of the other Nelk Boys.
I was like, "Okay, here's the story.
"This girl thinks she's talking to Steve.
They met through the text thing."
And they both sort of laughed and, like, it was very unlikely
that she's actually talking to Steve,
which is obviously what we already all thought.
But I said, is there any chance
you can get Steve to, like, call
and FaceTime us tomorrow... - Yeah.
- So that we can confirm with her?
He said he thinks, you know, he said,
"Text me what time, and, like, I'll try to make it happen."
I mean, Diamond had her doubts,
but I still think she's going to be heartbroken.
Got to find out who this is.
- Then we confront them. - Yeah.
- Good morning. What's the tea today?
- There she is. - I'm here.
- Finally. - I'm not late.
- You're a little late.
- Not that late. - That's okay.
It's not like a lot happened last night,
and we have a ton to talk about.
- Do we?
- Well, last night, I was ready to go to bed.
Diamond starts calling me.
I've got, like, three missed calls from Diamond.
Call her back.
She tells me apparently after I spoke to Johnny and Kyle,
they obviously called Steve and said, "Hey, you know,
'Catfish' wants to talk to you."
- And it got back to her.
- He went online and said, "Hey, guys."
Let me show you. Let me show you.
- Oh, no. - Oh, man, okay.
- Manager called me, and he said,
"Yo, you know this show 'Catfish?'
I'm like, "[bleep], yeah, I know the show 'Catfish.'"
He's like, "There's a girl on 'Catfish'
"who thinks that they've been dating me
and is in love with me. Been dating me for a year."
Some dude is posting as SteveWillDoIt.
To the guy that's impersonating SteveWillDoIt,
I'm gonna have him come to me
and I'm gonna help him catfish a million people.
- Okay, 'cause now I wanna fight.
Let me tell you something about these kids, okay?
They clearly did not get spanked.
- I think he's just living in his prankster world
and not thinking much about the people
who get hurt by all this,
but clearly, we know who he is now.
So I, immediately after seeing that
and calming Diamond down. - Is she okay?
- She was very upset obviously
because even though she had a hunch
that maybe it wasn't Steve, to find out like that,
it's so mean spirited, right?
She calmed down, and I explained to her
that it's still important
that we find out who she is talking to,
and that we have some things we want to discuss.
We got to figure out this Heather business.
- Oh, yeah.
- Because the phone number comes back to her.
So let's update Diamond on the whole Heather of it all.
We got to figure this out before it gets any uglier.
- All right, I'm gonna text her.
- Poor Diamond.
[soft dramatic music]
[computer chimes]
- Hello. - Hey, girl.
- Hey, Diamond.
I can tell you are a little bit less enthusiastic today.
- Last night, I was very distraught.
You know, I was really shocked that he posted
that video he made and, like,
I wasn't seeing that coming whatsoever.
Now I know for sure I'm not talking to Steve.
I'm talking to an imposter. It was very, very upsetting.
I was hysterical.
I was crying, but that's just because
now it's like I really don't know who I'm talking to.
- Right.
- The Steve that you're talking to
didn't make any mention
about the video from last night.
- No, and I texted him yesterday
and he is not texting back whatsoever.
- All right, well, let's take a look
'cause we also still have some questions so...
- So here's what we found.
When we ran the first phone number
that you got that message from
when you first, first got a message from Steve,
that number came back to someone named Myles [bleep].
You know who this person is? - I don't.
- Okay, so we put it into Cash App,
and it came up with an account right now
currently for someone named Heather Grayson,
and we saw that you were following each other
on Instagram. How do you know Heather?
- Parties? - Okay.
- Well, we found out Myles,
the name that came back for the phone number
is Heather's dead name.
Since it's her dead name,
we're not gonna use it again after this.
- Call Heather. Call Heather.
- But we did call Heather. - Mm-hmm.
- And we spoke to her yesterday and explained
why we were reaching out,
and she said that she knows you,
but very casually, that you guys have met
at parties like you said
and that she's had the number for a long time,
but has no idea why you would have that number,
so it was very confusing to us
'cause it sounded kind of impossible
that her number would come up in Cash App,
also on the reverse phone search,
and that you guys would know each other.
- We have never been kiki like that.
That's why I want to call her.
I met her through my former makeup artist,
Whiteplastiic.
Heather came to my Free Britney protest.
There is no beef.
I've always been so nice to her.
- She said the same thing. - Right.
Is there any way she would have known
about your attraction to and crush on Steve?
- No, it's not like I go around saying "I love SteveWillDoIt."
Like, no.
- I mean, at this point, it seemed to us
that there were two very distinct possibilities.
One, that because you and Heather have some history,
could it be that at some point she thought it would be funny
to mess with you, and she knew you had a crush on Steve,
so she thought, "Oh, I'm going to mess with her
and maybe it'll be for a funny TikTok."
Who knows, right? That's one version.
The other possibility is that you came up
with this idea in an effort to,
you know, make a fun story, get on the show and...
- No, I have way too much to lose
to go do something like that. No, I came here for help.
I don't wanna look like a [bleep] idiot on TV,
and that's what I look like,
so this would be the worst place
to do a TV debut. No offense.
- You know, it has happened.
Unfortunately, in the past,
we have had people who have, you know, lied to us.
We have to always kind of keep that in the back of our heads
that it could be that we're getting played,
and when we saw that you and Heather know each other,
we're trying to understand,
well, what's the connection to Heather.
- I don't think Heather is clever enough to do this.
She's not--not saying she's not smart enough.
I don't even think she knows who he is.
- Is it possible that Heather actually likes you?
And I--does Heather-- - I don't think so.
- Do you know if she dates guys or girls or?
- I don't know, but I'm strictly dickly
so Heather is gonna, you know? - [laughs]
- Right now, we have to assume
that Heather is the person you've been talking to.
- I agree.
- If it's not Heather, she must know.
- She [bleep] knows something.
- So let me text Heather right now and just say,
"Hey, we'd love to chat again with Diamond.
If you could jump on a Zoom, that would be a great."
- Dig into it.
- All right, I texted Heather asking her to join the Zoom.
- I just looked up that mutual friend with Heather
you mentioned, Whiteplastiic. Whiteplastiic follows Steve.
- Interesting. Did you know that?
- No.
- Should we reach out to Whiteplastiic?
- I talk to Whiteplastiic.
He's friends with Mark, my roommate.
He comes over to my house.
He wouldn't do something like that.
What was the motive? Uber Eats, gifts.
Why would Plastiic or Heather,
why would any of them spend their own money to do that?
Like, what do they gain out of this?
- I don't know. Don't know.
- I feel like I just don't want to keep, like, the speculation.
I just want to contact fake Steve.
I just want this to be done with.
All right, let's text Steve, the fake Steve,
I guess we'll call him. "Hey, Steve.
"We are helping Diamond to try and get in touch with you.
We're in a Zoom now and would love if you join."
- And we sent the link.
How are you feeling overall?
- I was just like kind of getting [bleep] with
for a year, so that's very weird.
- Mm-hmm.
- Oh, he wrote back and said,
"I've been waiting for this time to talk.
I'll hop on the Zoom."
- I've been waiting for this time?
- okay, whoever it is
obviously wants to present themselves.
- I'm just, like, flustered. - This is about to be dramatic.
- I'm going to text back
and just say, "okay, come on in."
[dramatic music]
- I don't know what this is gonna be,
but I feel like it's gonna be some [bleep].
- Mm-hmm.
[computer chimes]
- Oh, there we go. - What's going on?
- Shut the [bleep] up.
- I don't know what this is gonna be,
but I feel like it's gonna be some [bleep].
- Mm-hmm. [computer chimes]
- Oh, there we go.
- What's going on? - Shut the [bleep] up.
- Hi, Nev, hi, Kamie, hi, Diamond.
- Who are you?
- My name is Vincent. I go by Whiteplastiic online.
- Hi, Vincent. - How did this happen?
- Listen, I'm upset just as much--
- Why? - Listen.
- Upset for what? Upset for what?
I've been nothing but [bleep] nice to you, nothing!
- Okay, can I talk? - Okay, [bleep] talk.
- okay, thank you.
So I met Diamond probably about, I don't know,
like two years ago maybe. I was her makeup artist.
And let's just say Miss Diamond over here
isn't like--I don't know
if she's been all nice to you guys,
but she isn't exactly what she says she is.
So I started talking to this boy
about a month and a half or so,
so then Dimond's roommate, Mark, told me
that Diamond actually had sex with the guy I was talking to.
- Who is this guy? Who is he?
- [bleep]. You remember [bleep]?
- Yes, I know [bleep]. - Yeah, it seems--You see?
She knows exactly who I'm talking about.
She knows exactly what went down.
- That did not even happen. - So I was pissed.
- Cut the [bleep] [bleep]. Shut the [bleep] up.
Cut the [bleep].
I would not ever in my life [bleep] with somebody
who touched Plastiic, like, not even with a 10-foot pole.
- Okay, so now you're gonna degrade me?
- No, I'm not degrading you. I'm just being honest.
- Okay. - So wait, I'm sorry.
So you're saying know who--
- I know, I know, I know. This is so stupid.
- Nothing happened between you and [bleep]?
- Nothing has happened between me and him sexually.
No kissing, no nothing, no flirting.
Maybe he rejected you, Plastiic, and then so you try
to put the blame on me or something
but, like, nothing.
- So why would Mark say that? So why would Mark tell me?
- I don't know. To maybe [bleep] with you?
- Right. - Where is Mark?
'Cause you guys are roommates - Mark's at a friend's house.
- Okay. - This is so just crazy.
And I wanna know why and how Heather is involved.
Where is Heather involved in this?
- I used Heather's phone 'cause she had a separate phone
'cause my phone was in-- out of commission at the time.
So, you know,
start the initiation of talking to Diamond,
you know, to get my revenge
'cause I knew Diamond was obsessed,
obsessed with this guy named SteveWillDoIt.
Like, she would post on her stories.
She would tell all her friends.
So I was like, "Okay, cool."
- Wait a second, so Heather knew
that it was you behind the Steve profile
this whole time? - No.
Last night, I get a call from Heather pissed off
saying I just got a call from Nev from "Catfish."
They said they linked my number to a situation.
You're the only one that I let borrow my phone.
Like what--what the [bleep]?
She immediately wanted to go to you guys,
so I explained to her, "No, like, calm down.
Like, I'm gonna be the one that tells you guys."
- Well, okay.
Over the last year, at least from what she's told us,
you, Plastiic as Steve, have been pretty generous.
You sent her food and lingerie, so it's confusing.
If you were trying to get back at her and get revenge,
why were you also seemingly so generous and kind?
- Well, I had to make it somehow believable that,
you know, I was actually Steve.
You know Steve has, like, a lot of clout.
He has a lot of money.
I know I wasn't able to talk to her on the phone so,
of course, you know, I had to add things in there
that would make it more believable.
- But then she also got a merch thing from California.
- Yeah, so I just had, like, one of my friends
that I was cool with at the time,
he lives in California, so I was just like,
"Hey, like, can you send this from your address
"so it looks like you came from California?
"and just, like, write a little note in it,
and like, you know, send it on its way."
- Well, what about the phone call
that Steve made to Diamond? Who was on that phone call?
- I just found, like, a YouTube video
and just played, like, a couple of like--
a couple of words off the YouTube video,
like, as Steve and then just hung up.
- I can't. I can't.
- Diamond told us that the Steve she was talking to
in this case, we now know
it was you told her things about the real SteveWillDoIt
that she doesn't know how anyone could have known
other than the real SteveWillDoIt.
So how did you have, like, insider information?
- Well, I would just--you know,
I was very adamant about looking at Steve's stories,
looking at Steve's posts,
looking at all the Nelk Boys' post.
I would see posts the second they would post it,
and then I would just reciprocate it to Diamond.
- I mean, that's a lot of work to be, like,
following all of those accounts so closely.
- Yeah, it was a lot. It was a lot.
But I enjoyed being Steve.
You know, like, it was hilarious to me to see you,
like, be, like, so attached to this guy
and, like, so kiki when you took a guy
right under my feet, you know what I mean?
- You're a [bleep] psychopath. You are a psychopath.
- Okay, keep yelling.
- You have something wrong with you
to keep that up for so long. You're weird as [bleep].
- Okay.
- When were you gonna tell Diamond that it was you?
- Honestly, well, if the show didn't happen,
I was honestly just gonna ghost her
and never tell her, like, that was me
to be honest. - Okay, okay.
- But still be around her and, like,
be in her presence with this animosity?
- Yeah, probably.
The thing about Diamond is she has such good, like,
business opportunities and stuff
that, like, I could have like achieved off of.
It would have been more easy if I just ghosted her.
- I love that you love this publicity right now, so...
- Okay, I love it. I love it, Diamond.
- You're welcome. - I love it, Diamond.
- You know what? You're welcome.
- No, you're welcome, baby. - Shut the [bleep] up.
- [bleep] you. - [bleep] you.
- Hold on a second.
Let us talk to Diamond for a minute,
and then we'll bring you back in
to hopefully come to some kind of resolution.
- Okay.
- That's a lot, obviously.
- I just feel like there's some other reason
that he's not really saying.
It can't just be because of [bleep].
Because, like, [bleep] so irrelevant.
He's not a part of my life.
That is a very bold accusation of him to make of me.
- Why would Mark say you were sleeping with him?
- I don't know.
- I feel like we should call him.
- okay, I'm gonna text him.
- Do you want--or maybe that he could jump on the zoom.
We've got to figure this out.
♪ ♪
- I just texted him.
♪ ♪
- Somebody is lying about you dating [bleep].
This is messy.
- Why would Mark say you were sleeping with [bleep]?
- I don't know.
- Somebody is lying about you dating [bleep].
Tell Mark to get in the Zoom because this is messy.
♪ ♪
- I just texted him.
- We just need him to answer some simple questions.
Hopefully, he doesn't have anything to hide.
[computer chimes]
♪ ♪
Hey, Mark. - Hey, what's up?
How are you? - Hey.
- All right. - Good to meet you.
- So essentially what we understand happened here
was Diamond has been getting catfished.
She actually has been talking to Plastiic for the last year.
- This is crazy. - Yeah.
- We're just trying to clear this up.
Plastiic apparently was talking to this guy
named [bleep] about a year ago,
and Plastiic says that you guys were talking, and that you
told Plastiic that Diamond had slept with [bleep].
- For me, I'll just start off by saying
Plastiic is so delusional. This guy is all over the place.
I don't know what he's talking about.
I don't know what his intentions are
to catfish Diamond like that.
- Well, his intentions this whole time have been
to get back at Diamond for what he says
was you telling him
that Diamond and [bleep] hooked up.
- So is that just a total lie? - That's a total lie.
I would never--those words would never come
out of my mouth. This is crazy.
- But why would Plastiic do this?
- It's kind of mind-blowing. It's very weird.
Like, I never thought this would happen
to somebody I know.
- I've never done anything to him besides, you know,
help him out, get him money. You know what I mean, like--?
- Maybe this is just a stunt to get on TV.
Should we bring in Plastiic just so we can all make sure
we're all on the same page and clear this up?
- If Mark is comfortable with that.
- I mean, you can bring him on if you want to.
I just want to know why he would even say such a thing.
- All right, So let me bring Plastiic back in
and give him one last chance to tell the truth.
Let's just try to end it cordially
where you guys can both go your separate ways.
- Right. - Okay.
[computer chimes]
- Hey. - Hi.
- So I hope you don't mind, in an effort to clear this up
and make sure we're all on the same page and understand
what did and did not happen, we asked Mark to join us.
Because we were very curious.
At the root of all this is obviously this [bleep] figure,
and we want to just make sure
everyone spoke for themselves.
- Well, Plastiic, I just want to start off
by saying I never said that about [bleep].
I don't--I don't know why you would do this.
We're supposed to be cool.
Like I've known you for a while but--
- Yeah, I thought we were cool too,
so, like, why are you being fake?
- How would you go so far
as to catfish Diamond for so long?
- Because I thought she [bleep] my man!
'Cause you told me that-- - There is no man!
- Shut up, Diamond! Diamond, shut up!
Shut up, Diamond!
- You have never had sexual relations with him.
Give it up.
What is the real reasoning, Plastiic?
- Yeah, but you have. But you have.
- No, I haven't. - No, she has not.
- Okay, then why would you say that?
- I never said that.
- Shut up. Shut up, Mark.
You're just like-- I just can't talk to you.
- Okay, okay, okay. [bleep] you.
- All right, well, Mark left, which is fine.
I was hoping that having Mark on here
might help resolve this.
Unfortunately, it escalated things
a little bit.
Let's bring it back down for a second.
- You need to give me a real reason
on why you did this.
If it was just because
you thought it was funny, just say it.
- I thought it was [bleep] hilarious,
and you know that.
You know that that was [bleep] hilarious,
but that wasn't the underlying reason.
You know the underlying reason and, you know,
I'm not--we're not gonna keep going in circles
with this. It's, like, [bleep] pointless.
I'm done. I'm done.
- From where we're sitting, I see you guys.
You live in the same city.
I would hate for this to completely explode
and create problems for both of you moving forward.
I want to make sure it's very clear
that your lives moving forward should not interact.
Both of you should be done.
But if there's one thing we can agree on...
Free Britney.
- Period. Free Britney.
- Free Britney. - Okay.
- Oh, I'm showing up. I'm coming.
- Well, you're gonna see each other tonight,
so let's just-- when you guys see each other,
can you guys just not?
- Don't talk to me like I'm just gonna act
like you're not there like a fly on the wall
because we're doing this for Britney.
I'm not going for you. I'm not--
- I'm going for Britney, not you.
- Okay, so, yeah.
- Okay, so let's-- that's good.
Let's just set a very clear boundary
that in the likely event
that you guys see each other tonight,
you're not gonna, like, try to start some [bleep].
- Definitely.
- I'm not even gonna, like, pay attention to you.
- Right, well, Plastiic, lovely to meet you.
Good luck with everything. - Thank you.
- Bye, Plastiic. - Bye, Kamie.
- Diamond, what a mess.
- I wish we could have come
to a more peaceful resolution on this,
but at least you know who you were talking to
and at least you know who you were not talking to.
I just would hope that whoever you end up dating
and falling in love with treats you with respect
and speaks to you in a way that is appropriate.
- Don't worry.
No more SteveWillDoIt 'cause I'm traumatized after all this.
- Then our job here is done. - That's--
if one good thing came of it,
it's that you no longer want SteveWillDoIt.
- Yeah.
- Free Diamond, free Britney.
- I feel a weight lifted off. Well, thank you guys so much.
- Thank you, Diamond.
- It was so great meeting you. - You too.
- Good to meet you.
