A daughter had to shatter her father’s illusion after he mentioned he was seeing someone online. The twist in the story? The person he was talking to was actually a catfish posing as Lady Gaga.
In a tweet that quickly went viral, daughter Ronnie (@stahppitrahn) shared, “My dad told me he’s dating someone online, so I asked for a picture of her and he sent me this.”
Accompanying her tweet was a photo of Lady Gaga taken during the filming of A Star is Born. Ronnie expressed her disbelief and included a screenshot of their conversation.
Ronnie quickly clarified the situation to her father, stating, “That’s Lady Gaga,” but received no further response from him
When her father sent the image, Ronnie’s response was straightforward: “That’s Lady Gaga.” The tweet garnered serious attention, with thousands of likes, retweets, and responses from users eager to learn more.
In reply to the flurry of comments, Ronnie clarified, “HE DIDN’T SAY ANYTHING ELSE,” and added, “We’ve had this issue before with him being catfished, so he probably just thinks I’m being a jerk.”
Sadly, this incident is part of a larger pattern of catfishing schemes. In a similar case in India, a woman was convinced she was about to marry Prince Harry and even attempted to sue him for not keeping his supposed “promise.”
Palwinder Kaur believed she was in correspondence with the Duke of Sussex in 2021, but her claim was dismissed by legal professionals. Kaur even tried to file for an arrest warrant to expedite their marriage.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court, led by Justice Arvind Singh Sangwan, determined it was a scam perpetrated by someone operating from a local cyber café. “This petition is nothing but a daydreamer’s fantasy about marrying Prince Harry,” the judge remarked.
