The Notre Dame star has left the virtual world!

College football star Manti Te’o closed his twitter account during the Blackout Bowl yesterday.

What was the reason?

According to online reports and tweets, many people used the blackout at the Superbowl as a reason to post mean comments about Manti’s recent girlfriend hoax.

BTSCelebs tip: Manti, live your life and ignore the mean comments! It was not his fault he was catfished.  Everyone should be careful when you are online, and attacking an innocent college student is cruel and not necessary.
