What happened to TikTok star Jake Fuller on MTV's 'Catfish'?
The TikToker decided to reach out to Nev Schulman and Kamie Crawford when he grew suspicious of a girl he was talking to on social media. According to Jake, "Taylor" would cover her camera when the two would FaceTime and had ghosted him numerous times. Wanting to find out who was actually behind the camera, Jake asked for help.
In the end, Taylor was a fake identity and Jake met the real person behind the pictures, Amanda. She told Jake that she was never good at making friends and was bullied in high school, so she reached out to influencers like Jake to have "cool" people talk to her.
But, Amanda is not solely at fault in the situation. She revealed that she paid Jake money, which he gladly accepted. The teen star would also ask "Taylor" to send food to his house. Amanda admitted that she did feel used by Jake throughout their digital friendship.
Nev also revealed that he suspected that Jake knew that Taylor was catfishing him, but decided to let their online relationship continue because of the gifts he was receiving.
After confronting one another, Jake apologized for accepting Amanda's gifts and the two agreed to be friends. Catfish followed up with Jake and Amanda two months later, revealing that the pair had FaceTimed after the show.
