- We got William talking to Breezy.
- Wait a minute. We know this guy.
- William the Baddest is back.
- I just want someone to love me.
- So you're looking at his page,
and there's no interaction between you guys?
- Okay.
- He doesn't know who I am?
Like, there was no messages?
- I can't help but feel like something's just off.
It's been a long time since I knocked on a door.
- Is he in there or not?
[dramatic music]
- Hi.
- Look who's here.
What the hell is going on?
[laughing] What the [bleep] is that?
Um, sir, are you lost?
What is this? - It's a big day.
I'm ready to go back on the road.
I got my best private investigator look.
- Is this your actual mustache? - It's a real mustache.
- Shut the [bleep] up.
[gasps] Oh, my God.
But you can't wear this.
People are not gonna take us seriously.
- This is what happens when you lock me up.
- Inspector Gadget.
- Yeah. You got to let me out.
But we're back. We're back on the road.
- Doop, di-doo, boop, beep, bop, boop.
You gotta take this hat off and the [bleep] jacket immediately.
- All right, I'm gonna open up the old Mail app.
- Okay. - "Guess who?
"It's me, William the Baddest.
- Wait a minute. I recognize this guy.
- Not this guy. - [laughs]
- Isn't that the guy that catfished Dallas?
- Yeah. - And--and William was like,
"You're gay," and Dallas was like,
"No, I'm not," and he's like, "Yes, you are."
- Hello. - [bleep] my life, bro.
- Why approach him as a woman?
- I feel like girls can make a guy feel comfortable.
Like, let's say a threesome or a foursome.
You know, I could have been that fourth person.
- Oh, my God. - He's back?
- William the Baddest is back. Let's see what's going on here.
- "Hey, Nev and Kamie. It's me, William.
"The last time you saw me on the show, I was the catfish.
"But I promise, I'm a changed man.
And now I need your help."
- Oh, boy.
- "About nine months ago,
"I met a guy online named Breezy.
"He's 25 and lives in DC.
"And he is everything-- beautiful, loud, funny,
and Black, just how I like my coffee."
- Lord, have mercy. Save me, Jesus, by God.
- "He is big into astrology.
"And now we've been talking back and forth
"since February and flirting hard.
"He is the first guy I've met in a long time
"who doesn't just want sex from me.
"Our energies are perfect together,
"and I really like him.
"But then things took a turn.
"He tells me he wants to be with me,
"but then blows me off.
"We've talked on the phone,
"but he won't answer my FaceTime.
"And he's visited LA twice
"and stood me up both times.
"I know how catfish think, and I'm worried.
Help me please. Yes, God."
- "Gawd." - "Gawd."
William the Baddest.
- ♪ My mystery man ♪
- Oh, boy. - Let's call Will.
He lives in LA. So let's just see
if we can go meet up with him.
He gave us his number.
[line trilling]
- Guess who's back?
- It's Nev and Kamie.
- Hey.
- Are you in LA?
Well, 'cause we're obviously also in LA.
So we could just come meet you.
- All right, text us the address.
We'll just head right over.
- We're pulling up.
- All right, see you soon. - Bye.
I-- - It's gonna be fun.
- We're gonna go back out
with a bang. - Let's go.
Whee!
Let's go, Nev.
We're on the road.
- It's been so long.
I think I forgot how to drive.
- ♪ I like where it's going ♪
♪ More joy ♪
♪ Are you coming too? ♪
- We know that Will is a wild guy.
- The baddest. - Back when he did
his first app, he was looking for love in the wrong places.
- Yeah. - But it sounds like
he's sort of improved.
- Yeah. - He's not catfishing.
But despite this person being verified,
there seems to be a strange disconnect.
Huh. - Something's up.
- ♪ Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh ♪
- Shall we? - Let's do it.
Are you ready to knock on a door?
[doorbell ringing]
- Nev? Kamie? - Hi.
- What? I'm gagging.
- Good to meet you. - Oh, my God.
You're so beautiful, Miss Universe.
Look at you with this mustache.
It's giving me, like, '80s pornstar vibes.
Y'all, come in and see my crib, y'all.
- Let's go. Let's go.
- It's all pink wonderland up in here.
That's my lightning bolt over there.
I'm all about the bolt game.
- It's beautiful.
- Well, welcome to my house.
Sit down, y'all. - It's so cute.
- All right, what's been going on since we saw you last?
Have you stayed in touch with Dallas?
You know, we're still cool - Yeawith each other.lking.
- That's good. - Yeah.
But it's like, the comments
from the last "Catfish" episode.
"You would never get a guy like that.
You need to have a better body."
- Oh, that's mean. - You know, like,
those comments really got to me.
And I was like, am I never gonna get a guy that I like?
So I was like, you know what?
Let me just go get this body done.
So I got the BBL.
- BBL? What's the L?
- Brazilian butt lift. - Lift.
- Oh. - Where they put the booty up.
Like, boop boop. - [laughs]
- Wait. And this is just--
- Oh, this just happened. So this was--
- Is that a tattoo? - Yes.
- Wow. - It's a lightning bolt.
So I started getting really in tune with energy, right?
Like, just meditating a lot, trusting the signs and numbers.
So there's three sevens right here.
- Oh, yeah. - Three sevens means
you're energetically aligned with the universe.
So that's what I did.
- Good for you. - Thank you.
- So tell us about Breezy and the whole situation.
We don't know much, only what you wrote to us.
- Nev, listen, I got the tea for y'all.
So after my face tattoo,
I was getting really deep into energy,
and I was looking at readings on Instagram.
And I found Breezy's page.
And I was like, oh, he's cute. And he do readings.
And he like energy just like me.
Maybe he can teach me a thing or two.
And so I started liking his pictures.
But then he followed me, and he had a blue check.
And I was like, "Oh, yes, we are both popping."
And then, um,
we started just flirting, you know what I mean?
He's so loud and so funny.
And he's all about energy.
And other guys they only wanted sex.
I wanted someone who didn't just want sex from me.
- This guy sort of feels like the first guy
who could be more serious.
- Yeah. Breezy could be the one.
- So you meet him on Instagram.
He's verified. You're DM'ing.
- Yeah, and then what got kind of strange,
what I really needed you guys' help with
is that he would get on live,
and I would comment giving him heart eyes
Or, "Hey, boo. I miss talking to you."
He wouldn't acknowledge me.
And mind you, something was off
because he would DM me and unsend them.
- So most of your messaging
with him has been on Instagram DM?
- Instagram DM. And through months--
- But he did give you his number?
- Yes, he gave me his number.
But I called his number,
and he sounded so distressed.
Like, "Huh? What?" And then just hung up.
That's when it got fishy, now.
Like, "Wait, what's going on with him?"
I know what catfishes do.
At that moment I'm like, "Am I being catfished?"
But if it wasn't meant to be,
he would not continue messaging me.
- You heard his voice a little bit.
Did it seem like it was the same person?
- I'm pretty sure it was the same person.
- It was brief. - I think that was him.
- Mm. - And your DM'ing
continued sort of uninterrupted?
- Yes, exactly. - What about FaceTime?
If he's going on live,
there's no reason why he couldn't FaceTime with you.
- Yeah. I was like, "Why is it that
every time I FaceTime you, there's nothing?"
And then he responded.
But mind you when he responded, I screenshot.
He said, "I do want to be with you.
I just have anxiety..." - Oh.
- "Because the last guy I was with took me
"on an emotional roller coaster,
and it put me in a hard shell to open up to people."
With heart eyes, and I sent him heart eyes again.
- Okay. - Okay.
- So at that moment, I know he's into me.
I know he wants to be with me.
Maybe I have a chance to date this guy,
but he's-- he's going through it.
I don't know what his anxiety is.
But at that moment I thought--
I was like, oh, my God, this is real.
So I screenshot just so that I wasn't losing my mind.
- Mm-hmm. - But now I don't even know.
- Well, you initially met and correspond with him
through his verified account.
- Correct. - So I think for most people
that would dispel any suspicion...
- No, it's not a fake account. - That he's not
really the person you're talking to.
- Right. - But he deletes their DMs.
- Well-- - Right.
- Maybe could it be that
because Breezy does business through his Instagram...
- Mm-hmm. - That maybe he has
someone else who helps him manage his bookings
and go through DMs...
- Hmm. - Who could have,
without him knowing,
be engaging with you in this sort of romantic way,
and trying to conceal those messages
by either unsending them or potentially using vanish mode?
- Could be, or my other thought is he's in a relationship,
and he doesn't want his partner to see the messages.
- That right there, that would mean that I'm being played.
- All right, show us this guy's account
so we can get a better sense of what--
Okay. So "astrologist and psychic."
"The high vibration hoodrat." He's got TikTok.
- I think I've seen him before on TikTok.
Do you follow him on TikTok? - No, my TikTok I got banned,
'cause I'm too explicit.
- William.
My gosh. - Yeah.
- Okay, Dee Breezy. Here's his TikTok.
He has a whole series called "Lost in Los Angeles."
He just posted it 21 minutes ago.
- What? He's here?
- How long has he been here? - Oh, look.
Apartment shopping in LA. Hashtag "Move to LA"
- Wait, what? What is the date on there?
- That was three days ago. - This isn't private.
- Why didn't he tell me after me telling him,
"Hey, I want to meet you.
I want to get to know each other in person."
- Yeah. - Am I being played?
- So look, normally I would say we need to do an investigation
to find out who's behind this Breezy account.
But we know who the person is. They're very public.
There's no mystery about who this guy is.
The mystery is, is someone else using the account,
or is he just playing with you?
- Why are they leading me on?
Who is--who is leading me on?
- All right. Well, look, we gotta figure this out.
All right. - Thank y'all so very much.
All right. Let me know what y'all come out with, okay?
- We'll see you tomorrow. - Thank you.
- This is unusual.
It's a legit person. Very confusing.
- I feel like a part of it
is William is looking for happiness.
- Yeah. - I feel like he is taking
that one message that Breezy sent William saying,
"I want to be with you,"
and that William was just
projecting an inch and turning it into a mile.
I just don't think that Breezy's that into him.
- Maybe. But I think there is still the possibility
that somehow he's talking to someone else.
Either way, William's in for a world of hurt.
[upbeat music]
[razor buzzing]
All right.
Mustache gone, which means Nev is back,
which means it's time to get back to business
and bust this catfish.
♪ ♪
All right.
Let's do this.
- So glad you shaved the creeper-stache.
- Um, let's get back to the case.
Here's what we got. William has been talking
to Breezy through their verified accounts.
They start flirting, but it doesn't really take off
the way that Will hopes it will.
- Yeah. - Breezy won't FaceTime.
He says he lives in DC.
And now we find out via Breezy's TikTok
that he's not only in LA
and has been for at least a week or two,
but is moving here.
- Right. - Breezy did send a message
to William that said, "I am into you.
I do like you," but then he unsent it.
- Yeah. The deleting of the messages,
unsending them, that is strange.
- Yeah. - I mean, we said,
it's possible there could be some kind
of social media manager person on Breezy's side.
But whether it's Breezy or someone else behind this,
I feel bad for William,
because they don't have a meaningful enough connection
the way that William thinks
that they have a meaningful connection.
- Exactly. - Exchanging of heart eyes
does not a relationship make.
- Let's do this.
Email from Will. "Hey, Nev and Kamie.
"Breezy's number is 202, blah, blah, blah,
and his Instagram is "xxdbreezy."
He didn't give us much to work with.
Let's start by just reaching out to Breezy.
If it is him that has been talking to Will--
both: Then it shouldn't be--
- That hard to get in contact with him.
- To get in contact with him.
- You always say this, and you always jinx it.
- All right. - Dee Breezy.
- Let's go to Dee Breezy. There he is.
All right. So we go to messages.
- Mm-hmm. - Do we wanna go straight
to the show, or do we wanna be like,
"I'm a fan. I'd love to meet up and get a reading."
'Cause if I say, "Hey,
I'm trying to help this guy, William,"
he might not wanna meet up. - Yeah.
- And be like, "Eh, I don't wanna deal with that."
- Yeah, 'cause he's not that into William.
- Right. All right, so,
Hey, Breezy, love your content.
I see you're in LA,
and I was wondering if you'd be down to give me a reading.
Is that how you say it? - Mm-hmm.
- All right, I'm sending this. - Send away.
- All right, so now let's go search this number.
- Okay.
Washington DC. Derek [bleep].
- Who's that? - Well, we don't know
if Dee Breezy's name is...
- Oh, Derek. - Actually Dee--Derek.
- That would make sense. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Scroll down. - Oh.
Owner, Dee Breezy.
- Maryland. - Wow.
- That's definitely him. - Like, that's crazy.
Again, it then raises that other set of questions,
which is, well, then why didn't he answer
the phone and sound excited?
- Let's reach out to one of the friends.
Maybe somebody knows something we don't know.
- Yeah. Let's go back to his account.
Oh, who's this? Best friend for life.
- Mm-hmm. Nesha.
- You feel like we should start with her?
Hey, Nesha.
I'd love to chat with you quickly.
Great. All right.
- He posted one more friend not that long ago I thought.
- Because we could go through his--
- Her, right there on the left.
- Zoe. - They must be friends.
- Okay, so here's her profile. Let's send Zoe a message.
Okay, great. All right.
Messages are out.
- Let's see if anyone's read our messages.
- Nothing.
- Wait, Nesha read it. - What?
All right. Nesha's at least seen it.
- That's a good sign.
[phone ringing] - Oh!
Hello.
- Uh, Nesha?
- Thanks for getting back to me so quick.
- So I'm with Kamie now.
- Hey. - Say, hi.
We're working on an episode right now.
It looks like it involves your friend,
Breezy or--or Derek I think is his name, right?
- From what we can tell, he has been talking
to this other guy, William, via Instagram.
And William is just trying to figure out
why he hasn't been able to, like, get Breezy on a FaceTime.
And so we were trying to figure out what could be going on,
and maybe wondering if Breezy's mentioned this guy to you.
- Does Breezy have a significant other?
Is he in a relationship?
- Okay. Is that someone that you've met in person?
- From Breezy's TikTok and his recent posts,
it looks like he's moving to Los Angeles.
- Okay. Is there any chance,
as far as you know, that there's someone
who might have access to Breezy's Instagram?
Like, someone else that's in his account...
- An assistant. - Or, like, an assistant
or someone who helps him with his bookings or--
- Do you know that person's name?
- You don't know. Okay.
Could you let us know if you find out?
- All right. Well, thank you. You've been very helpful.
- Thanks, Nesha. - Okay, bye.
- Breezy has a man? - Well...
- Possibly or somebody that he's been talking to.
- Or maybe that explains why he's been kind of iffy.
- Right. - And Nesha said he does have
an assistant, so maybe someone else is running his account.
[phone ringing] Whoa, it's Breezy.
Hey, it's Nev.
- Thanks for getting back to me.
- Couple of things I wanted to chat with you about.
I'd love to meet up with you
A, because I actually would love a reading.
And B, because we need to talk
about this whole William situation.
- Uh, William the Baddest,
I think you guys are friends on Instagram, right?
- Oh, okay.
- There seems to be some confusion.
- Okay, so to be perfectly honest,
the main reason that we reached out to you
is because William asked us for help.
He's under the impression that you guys have been talking
for a while now and has just wanted to meet up with you.
- This is what's confusing to us
is because he showed us what appeared to be,
you know, a series of messages that you guys have exchanged
via Instagram direct message.
- So you're looking at his William the Baddest page,
and you clicked on, like, message and there's no--
there's no interaction between you guys?
- Okay, that's interesting, because as far as we can tell,
he has an entire direct message conversation
with your verified account.
- Well, this is now getting actually very interesting,
'cause you might have someone,
without knowing it, in your account.
Do you have an assistant?
Like, someone else has access to your account,
and could have been sending him messages without you knowing.
- It would mean a lot to me and obviously to this guy,
William, if we could just sort of find a little bit
of time to get together and figure this out.
Um, and just--
- No, I do genuinely want a reading.
- Oh, no. Come on, Breezy. Don't play me like that.
I want a reading.
But to be honest, the first thing we want to take care of
is clearing up this William thing.
Then right behind that is me also wanting a reading.
- Okay. Thank you, Breezy.
- All right. Bye.
- Child, Maryland people don't play.
- What is going on? - We don't play.
- So he doesn't talk to William?
- How is that possible? - Is there an assistant?
- Somebody's lying.
- Now I'm way more confused
than I was before we started.
What is going on?
- Let's text Will that we're on our way.
- I'm so uncertain
about how that phone call with Breezy went.
- Well, if you're not guilty of anything, why so angry?
Why so hostile? - Right.
[text tone] Oh. Who's that?
- It's from Breezy. - Oh?
- He said, "I can't do a reading today.
- Aww. - "I don't think I want
anything to do with this actually."
- Whoa. - "Please don't call me again."
- Whoa. Whoa!
Something is going on with this guy.
- I'm not liking the energy...
- I know, right? - In this text.
- Like, why are you being so shady?
- He clearly is involved somehow.
- He's lying to us about Will.
- The vibes are off.
- Yeah, there's some bad energy.
[upbeat electronic music]
♪ ♪
- Ding-dong.
- Nev? Kamie?
So what's the tea, y'all?
Y'all got some tea for me or no?
- We got some tea. - Let's do it.
- [sighs]
You seem-- you're in good mood.
- Oh, I'm happy. But I'm trying to--
- Your energy seems to-- - Yeah.
You know, I was just-- I woke up--
I woke up today and saw the sunshine.
I said, "What another day. Blessings."
we've got some things - to talk about.l,
We definitely made some progress.
Let's get you up to speed.
- Yeah. - All right. So--
- Aww. He's so cute.
- Yeah, there he is. - Right.
- And here's his page. We sent him a message saying,
"We'd love to talk to you and maybe get a reading."
So then we took the phone number that you have...
- Mm-hmm. - That he gave you
that one time... - The 202 one.
- Mm-hmm. - And we searched it.
- Okay. - Okay?
And amazingly, it came back
to someone named Derek [bleep]...
- [gasps] - Dee Breezy.
- That's his real name?
That's kind of cute. - Well, we don't know.
- I mean-- - I'm telling you.
I'm telling you. - It is interesting.
- But why are we getting excited that it's his number
when he's not calling you or FaceTiming you
or texting you from that number?
Right?
I'm not trying to bring the mood down.
I'm just saying. - I know.
- So then we thought, "Okay, who are his friends?"
We've seen on his Instagram
that he's got some pictures with this girl, Nesha.
He calls her his best friend forever or whatever, for life.
And we also went and saw this girl who's tagged.
- Zoe. - Zoe, right?
So-- - Oh, I saw her on his live.
And they have videos together. I think that's his sister.
- Mm. - Well, we messaged
- Okay. - So we actually got a call
from Nesha.
- [gasps] What she said?
- Well, I asked her, had she ever heard of Will or William?
Has-- has her very good friend...
- Because he would mention me. - Breezy ever mentioned you.
- He likes me, yeah. - And she said she had not
heard of you.
is Breezy in any kind Anof a relationship?"l,
She said, "He has someone he talks to."
- Oh, wow. - But Nesha also said
that Breezy has an assistant,
someone that helps him with bookings and Instagram.
- Oh, my God. This is just so much.
- So maybe it's actually his assistant
that was running his account
and sending the messages to you.
- This is too much. Just, oh, my God.
Like, I'm just so, like-- a little--like,
got the little thing in the throat where it's a little ball
and you're just, like, a little sadness.
You know what I mean?
So I don't know what's going on.
- Well, there's more to tell you.
So then we got another call,
and this time it was from Breezy.
I said, "Have you been talking to Will online?"
- He was like, "I know a lot of Wills.
Which Will?" - Wait, what?
- And we were like, "William the Baddest."
- Wait, you said, "William the Baddest,"
and he didn't know?
- Yeah, he said, "I know a lot of Williams."
- And I said, "Well, that's crazy,
'cause you've been DM'ing with him."
And he's like, "No, I don't have any messages with him."
- What?
- He said, "Well, I'm really busy.
But maybe this afternoon,
if I can move some things around in a few hours,
like, I could try to meet up with you guys."
I was like, "Okay, well, please stay in touch, let us know."
- This is just-- he doesn't know who I am?
Like, there was no messages? Like--
- Can we see your messages with Breezy?
- Yes. - All right.
Okay. So yeah.
- What is going on? Like, y'all, like--
- There clearly are messages.
These haven't been deleted.
Those are messages from his account.
- Right. And I even asked him.
I was like, "Well, is it possible
that someone else is-- is in your Instagram
and could have potentially sent those messages
without you realizing it?" and he's like, "Oh, no."
- He got really testy at that point too.
He was, like, mad that we were asking.
- So he was definitely lying to us.
- But why would you lie? Like, this is--
you're--you're playing with my emotions.
Like, this is a real thing.
- Well, on the ride over here, he texted us back finally.
And he said, "I can't do a reading today.
"I don't think I want anything to do with this actually.
Please don't call me again."
So-- - So he's not gonna--
I'm not gonna meet him? I'm the--
- Do you want to at this point?
If he's lying about the fact that he's been talking to you,
if he doesn't text you,
he doesn't FaceTime you, he doesn't call you.
- Wow.
It's like a-- like, you just, like,
just gonna up and abandon me like I was just nothing?
Like it was nothing, you know?
It's--it's terrible.
Just want to find, like, someone to love me,
'cause I don't know that experience of love
and what it feels like.
I-- [choking up]
Just know, one day I'm gonna find someone
that's gonna love me for who I am.
I know. So one day.
- Just want to find someone to love me,
'cause I don't know that experience of love
and what it feels like, whether it's romantic or not.
- I know we didn't see all of your messages with Breezy,
but you guys had that one section of the chat
where he said that he wanted to be with you.
- Yes. - And you confessed
your feelings for him, you said you wanted be with him.
And he responded and said that he feels the same way.
But his actions other than that DM tell a different story.
- Mm-hmm. - I'm just trying
to understand, when you save that one message,
why did you hold onto it in your heart as,
"He wants to be with me,
because he responded this one time and said that,"
versus his actions of actually showing up to meet you
the times that he's been here, and calling you,
and texting you, and FaceTiming you?
- Um, just so that I would have it
to know that there was opportunity
Like, that it wasn't just a flirting thing.
That there was opportunity when he said,
"I want to be with you."
- If someone really cares about you,
you shouldn't have to screenshot the one message,
that they then unsend, to prove it.
Like, there should be constant confirmation from them
that they feel that way.
- [sighs] I don't know what to think now.
It's--um, it's different.
It hits different now.
He didn't know me. - Right.
To me that-- that's the reaction of someone
who's trying to avoid doing something hard.
- Mm-hmm. - [gasps]
- What? - He just DM'd me.
Oh, my God. - What?
What? - "Hey. I'm in LA.
I'm finally ready to meet you. Are you able to?"
- Like nothing happened.
He just told us he wants nothing to do with the show.
That makes me feel like someone else
is sending all these messages. - Yeah.
- Wait, so I'm getting catfished?
- Well, whether this is him or potentially someone else,
I think we engage.
Keep it super positive, right? - Okay.
I said, "Yes, God. It would be dope AF."
- Great. Down to meet whenever, you know.
- Down to meet... - Tomorrow.
- Perfect.
- He's seen it. - Oh, he's writing.
- Oh--ooh. - "Bet."
- "I'll be here tomorrow." An address.
Okay. That's-- - What time?
- Great. - What time?
Look, they're typing.
Um, "I'll let you know." - Uh-uh.
- I'll let you know?
- It's not ideal, but--
- Just like it. Don't respond.
Get off. - Period.
- Spend tonight. Meditate on you
and your strength and your value.
- And I am better than that.
- Mm-hmm. - And what you deserve.
- I'm that bitch. - Right.
- Period. - Let's just wait.
We'll meet up in the morning.
Hopefully he'll engage and tell us.
I mean, we have an address now.
I mean, he-- he'll be there at some point.
- Mm-hmm. - So if we have to go out,
knock the door, and wait around--
- Oh, we'll knock the door down.
- All right, well, let us know if anything happens.
Otherwise, we'll just meet you here tomorrow,
and we'll head over.
- All right. Well, thanks for coming, guys.
I will see you tomorrow. - Of course.
[sighs]
- Okay. - All right.
Thank you, Nev, for everything.
Kamie, I freaking love you, girl.
- I love you too. - Thank y'all so much.
I'll see you tomorrow. We gonna--
we gonna get this together, period.
- We're gonna get it together.
We don't have a choice. - Okay.
- [sighs]
- I can't help but feel like something's just off.
- Yeah. - The situation is so--
it's so outlandish that he would genuinely think
that this guy is really into him and--
and that this scenario would play out
the way it seems to be playing out.
Something feels fun-- - Yeah.
William could definitely be playing us.
That would not be the biggest surprise.
- I mean, look, whether we're getting played
or Will's getting played,
we're gonna get to the bottom of this no matter what.
- Good morning. It's a new day.
- Let's pick up Will. Let's go.
- I feel like, if Breezy is planning on meeting up
with William, we should just be front
and tell him that we're gonna be there.
Just wanted to give you a heads-up
that we will be with William today
and are looking forward to meeting you.
- Okay. - Okay.
- Where is this guy? What?
- You can't miss him. - Oh, yeah.
- Kamie, baby. - Hello!
- You're going in the front.
- Oh! - You're VIP.
- All right. We got that address.
We just DM'd Breezy to say we'll be with William today.
So I feel like you should just message him.
- Hey, is now okay? 'Cause I'm pulling up.
- Yeah, we're close. I think this is the street.
- Okay. I'm getting nervous.

All right. Well, here goes nothing.
It's been a long time since I knocked on the door.
[knocker rapping]
- Is he in there or not?
- You gotta knock a little harder.
[sighs]
- Oh.
- Hi. - What's up?
- Hello.
We're looking for Breezy.
- Um... - Is he here?
- No. - What's your name?
- I'm Zoe. - You're Zoe?
I sent you a DM, right?
- You did, Nev.
- Is this where you live?
- Yeah.
- Why don't you come on down here, and we can chat?

I saw you on his Instagram post.
- Yeah. So what's up?
♪ ♪
- I've been the one messaging William.
- The whole time? - What?
- The whole time.
- From?
- My brother's page.
- Okay. So your Breezy's sister?
- Yes, I manage his account.
- So Breezy don't even know me?
- Yeah, you would send messages,
and it wouldn't be no thread,
because I would delete the thread.
- Why?
- It's the prank between me and my brother.
I'm so sorry. - A prank?
- Yeah.
- You don't care about him at all?
- No. It really went further--
it went further than what I expected.
I didn't expect it to go this far.
- It's my emotions. It's my emotions.
- I know. That's why I'm apologizing.
I invited you here to come clean.
♪ ♪
- Okay. I'm just trying to understand.
Was there some reason that you targeted William?
- It was really no reason.
I just--I just picked a person off his Instagram
that he interacted with, and I messaged William.
It wasn't specifically to target William.
- So what was the reason?
- What exactly is the prank?
- Like I said, it was a joke between me and him.
I didn't--I didn't--
- A joke between you and him?
- Yeah.
- I thought him acting weird at my brother,
he'll just be like, "What is going on?"
- So it was like, Will's got this big, crazy personality.
You thought it would be funny to flirt with Will
to get him entangled with your brother...
- Yeah. Him be confused.
- As a prank on your brother with him--right.
So who did we talk to on the phone yesterday?
- You talked to my brother on the phone yesterday.
- So did your brother know
about any of this the whole time?
- Not really.
- When did the conversation start?
How did you even find William in the first place?
- They kind of interact with each other on the Internet.
So that's--I just seen him--
- So your brother did know
who Will was before you-- - He did know me.
- I mean, he follows him.
- But when Nev called him,
he didn't know who I was.
- Well, I guess he does know who you are,
and that's how you found him for the prank.
- Yeah. - Okay.
So that--and maybe that would've been funny
for the first week or two, but--
- But it was months. Like, where--
when does it stop?
- It wasn't personal against you, like I said.
- Well, you could have chose anybody.
- Okay, well, I chose you. Sorry.
- And-- [door creaks]
Oh, who is this?
- Oh, here he is.
- Here we go. - What is going on?
- Yo, what's up? - What's going on?
- Why are y'all playing a game on me?
- Why is "Catfish" here? Why is "Catfish" here?
- Because they're helping me.
we could have handled this -so many other ways.
We didn't have to call--you didn't have to call the police.
- We tried to handle it yesterday when we spoke to you.
We didn't think it was really gonna be you.
We thought it would be somebody else.
- It wasn't me, brother. It was my sister.
- It never meant to go this far,
but you kept going and messaging him.
I tried to stop the conversation
and wouldn't reply to William, but William was so persistent.
- Listen, when a heart gets involved
in a situation like this, it's different.
- But, William,
from what I'm hearing, there was not enough
for anybody's heart to be involved in any of this.
- Yeah.
It's not called for all of this either.
- Okay.
- So what is going on, and why are we here?
William, can we talk?
What the [bleep] is going on?
William, are we getting pranked?
Because it seems that it's all [bleep].
- William, can we talk?
What the [bleep] is going on? Are we getting pranked?
Because it seems that it's all [bleep].
Follow me.
All right.
What's tea, boo?
- I don't know. Like, I'm just--
- Well, we talked about it yesterday,
and we talked about the fact
that you can't put significant value
on something that is the bare minimum.
But I think that you knew that already about this,
and there's just something about it that feels off.
- I don't get it. Like, I'm just confused.
Like, why would I put my emotions into this?
I'm just gagging that you think that there was nothing real
about this whole situation
for the amount of time
that we've been flirting back and forth
and getting to know each other, like--you know, like--
- But, William, but there wasn't any kind
of meaningful love connection throughout the conversations.
You guys had heart eyes, or they say, "Yes,"
and blah, blah, blah.
- Well, that's me then.
Maybe I should be the one--maybe the energy
wasn't reciprocated the way I felt it was.
- Maybe not.
- Look, I get how these things can get out of hand,
that this was just some dumb prank,
and you guys weren't like, "Ooh, we should try
"and make this thing bigger
and see if we can get it on the show."
It wasn't like-- that wasn't the intent--
- No, it's a joke between us.
- It went further than what I expected.
- Right.
- I wanna know what his feelings are
off the camera. Like--
- Same.
- I feel like it's kind of an act.
- I'm not sure where I fall on. Like, what does William feel?
'Cause he's tough to read. But you read people.
So that's why I'm thinking, like,
is there a way you guys could just talk?
Because maybe he's hurt right now.
And, like, I wanna make sure he's okay
and that you guys are clear and straight on everything.
- Got you.
- All right, I'm gonna just check in with Will.
I will meet you back there.
- What's the tea, Christine?
- I mean, I--I think...
That it kind of played out the way they said it did.
- We just talked about it.
- Yeah, I just--maybe, yeah. Maybe I needed to be loved.
And I felt that I wanted to be with somebody,
and I was just out searching for someone.
And him being a verified account
and being parts of my type,
I felt like maybe, just maybe,
you know, I could choose this guy.
- Okay, okay, hold on. Just slow down.
I think--Will, I think you got tricked, right?
You probably do look for more in things than is there,
especially when it comes to affection.
- Maybe that makes me crazy then.
Maybe I need help.
'Cause I'm easy to let anybody in,
because I have an empty space.
And I'll be trying to fill the empty space.
Like, I'll take anything I can get.
- We understand you're a loving person,
and you wanna share love with someone,
but it's not gonna be with that guy.
- All right. Well, look,
we could go back there and chat for another minute,
and you guys can just, like, clear the air.
- Okay.
[melancholy music]
- All right.
♪ ♪
- We're back.
- Now that we've kind of cleared the air a little bit
at least in terms of what was going on.
So what do you think, William?
- Okay. So for me, like,
I feel I might have overexaggerated the fact
that what you guys were sending,
in my eyes I was thinking,
"Oh, the guy really likes me."
I took that, and I ran with it,
and that's my fault.
I was seeing what I wanted to see.
It was not even there.
- Well, Zoe did catfish you, so there's blame all around.
- Yeah. - I apologize.
- I just want--you don't have to apologize to me.
I'm sorry that you're feeling so hurt.
- Sorry. It never meant to go this far.
Like I said, it wasn't personal against you.
- Zoe, I think these types of things are hurtful.
Like, people are having a hard time finding love,
and little things matter.
And so I just don't like the idea
that you, at any point, thought it was okay
to, like, mess with someone's feelings.
And even though it was for a joke
and you wouldn't have known that he was super sensitive
and vulnerable, but, like, I think we have to just assume
that everyone is very vulnerable right now.
And, like, let's just take this as a good lesson
that it's never okay to mess with someone
when it comes to, like, the heart.
And that's it.
All right, so we'll say goodbye now to you guys.
Nice to meet you. - Nice meeting you.
- Nice to meet you. Good luck with everything.
- Nice seeing you guys.
- See you later.

- Hey. - Hey.
- Hey, what's up, friends?
- What's up, Will? How are you?
- Oh, I'm just living my best life.
After you guys left, I DM'd Breezy.
- And? - Okay.
- Then I started to get in my feelings,
and he would friend-zone me.
And I was trying to do more, and he was like, "No."
And I was like, "Fine."
- You gotta move on.
- I, yes, moved on from Breezy.
But it's like, I wanna find someone to love me,
you know, like Lil Nas X wants someone to love him.
Okay?
- Just make sure you protect yourself, all right?
- Yeah, I'm no longer just heart eyes
to be thrown at, okay?
- All right. Well, good luck, William.
- We love you, William.
- Bye.
[computer chimes] - Hey.
- Hey, what's up? Good to see you guys.
First time we met you guys, it was a bit of a strange day.
- We wish that all of this would've never happened,
honestly.
- Zoe, looking back now, what's your lesson learned?
- Let say, like, everything that I do
and can't involve outside--
like, if it was between me and my brother...
- That's very profound, Zoe. Wow.
- Hopefully, the next time
we cross paths, it'll be for something positive.
- A reading. - Oh, yeah. A reading.
- All right, Zoe.
- Bye-bye. - Breezy.
- See y'all later, both: Bye.
- Hailey met Brittany a year ago online.
- I went to go to D.C. to see her.
So I text Brittany, "I'm in DC."
She read it. She didn't say nothing to me at all.
- Something's off. - Yeah.
- I just went to her page, and it says, "User not found."
