Nev Schulman and Max Joseph return with Season 2 of MTV’s ‘Catfish,’ which premiered last night (June 25, 2013).
The term ‘catfish’ refers to a person who pretends to be someone they’re not by utilizing social media (i.e. Facebook, Twitter etc.) to create false online identities. The action is used primarily to pursue deceptive online romances.
[Sidebar: As to why anyone is getting 'catfished' these days remains a mystery, but apparently there are still a few lost souls seeking love online who will believe anything a stranger they've never met tells them.]
The popular show kicked off the 2nd season with Cassie, (real name: Cassandra Brigette Cherry).
Nev and Max head to Hollywood, FL to assist the young woman, who’d been (insert air-quotes) ‘dating’ and Atlanta man by the name of “Steven” for well over two years. She’d never seen him in person, but had spoken to him on the phone often.
Cassie and ‘Steven’ were even (insert air quotes again) “engaged” to be married, but again… they had never met or even video chatted.
Gladys, Cassie’s BFF (picture above on the right) is even featured in the episode, as she explains to Nev that she’s happy Cassie found love online, because now she’s gotten her friend back.
But wait… we soon find out that it was Gladys who was ‘catfishing’ Cassie all along.

Gladys claims she only did it because Cassie was on a downward spiral after her father was killed. Cassie had been hanging with a wild crowed and was participating in promiscuous activity, so Glady’s created “Steven” online so that Cassie could have someone stable to love. She even enlisted the help of her cousin, Tony, who spoke to Cassie on the phone as “Steven”. *sigh*
Way too much…
For the record, Cassie hit the tweets earlier today to take up for her BFF, stating:
How would you feel if you were ‘CATFISH’ed by a close friend?
Could you forgive & forget?
Shoutout to my friends over at Starcasm, who dug up info on Season’s 2 first ‘Catfish’ and revealed all of her social media accounts. Check out Cassandra’s Twitter account here. Her Facebook page here. And her official YouTube channel here.
It was trifling. Who needs enemy’s with friends like that.
MICHELLE RUINED IT FOR EVERYONE! WHY GET PEOPLE AMPED TO WATCH AND THEN TELL THE WHOLE STORY,BEFORE THEY DO? SO WHATS THE USE IN POSTING IT.BIG DUMMY!CHILD,BYE!
I was thinking the same thing! then I said well I can at least see if the girls are still friends then she posted the tweets andanswered that too.well DAMN! Where dey do that at! Atl I guess.wow,what a dumb move.get it together!
She didn’t ruin it for those if us who couldn’t watch it at work! I appreciared the read. Besides, you could have scrolled past the writing and clicked play like I did when I got home. smh
It was almost like telling the end of the movie.When you begin reading it, you dont expect to be told the whole story,before you see it.SMH too!! Im not upset but I understand how they could feel like it was spoiled.
If you didn’t want to know the entire storline of this episode, then YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE READ THE POST! Michelle didn’t ruin it for you, you ruined it for yourself. Michelle only posted the story but you read it. Sounds like Michelle isn’t the, as you stated, the "big dummy!"
@TThompson,No one needs your explanation.You sound crazy.
I agree but I didn’t read the post first…I watched the video first and was first shocked at who it was and then shocked again that the post told the ending. That was just wrong.
I just don’t get it. How in the hell do you date someone for at least 2 years and you have never met up with them face to face. Where they do that at? There are too many apps and sites that you can use to see someone face to face and talk to them such as Skype, Oovoo, Facebook, etc. Hell, they could even send you a picture with the current newspaper or something.
clearly love is blind, deaf and dumb.
my heart goes out to the girl because she lost her father (I know from personal experience how deeply that can affect a person); however, an intervention/counseling would probably have been a better idea.
her girl’s heart may have been in the right place, but making up a fake boo in order to make a friend feel loved is a little crazy.
I’d be mad at myself first and foremost because come on now. One month after I started talking to my friend he drove 500 miles to meet. I mean who waits three years and proposes without a sight. Now I get she was trying to help her but you let her think she was engaged and let her talk dirty to someone else. We could NOT recover from that. Again I’d have to accept responsibility as well. And why she didn’t come clean when she told her about Nev and them coming idk. I’d be hella mad.
Sounds like an interesting show, gotta check it out!

lol this show is a HAM(hot ass mess) but made for good entertainment. She must be some kind of friend to go through all that to "stop" her girl from being a whore.
Really…got to be desperate to engage in a relationship over the phone or computer… who does that….nope whatchue talknbout
I find it hard to believe that this show is really genuine anymore. Kids nowadays are too fame hungry and will do anything to be known. This whole episode was suspect!!!!!
….a bunch of dumb bitches.
This show is the DEVIL!!! I got caught up watching the marathon this weekend and…i’m hooked now. This shit is like a younger version of to catch a predator without the legal ramifications.
I. Watched. It. Last. Night. And. When. I. Saw. The. Photo. Of. Her. Suppose. It. Boyfriend. I. Thought. He. Was. Gay
@ Lashonda LOL me too Girlfriend with 2 finger snaps he had beautiful eyes – I LIKE watching that show I had a dumb ex with his old ass many years ago looking for love on the net he thought he was the man – saying many women wanted him nobody but people looking for his money – he had none and the so call women were gay men getting their thrill talking nasty to a straight man I bet to this day he’s still tying to find love on the net (DUMMY)
this is shocking!!! I know the dude who’s picture they were using is hella happy…. he got new followers and all…lol
The 1st season I feel is genuine, season 2 & any subsequent is & will remain suspect!
Ridiculous. Why didn’t she just help her friend pay for counseling?
This was cruel of her.
Michelle Ima hurt you because I really don’t need to get hooked on another show. My dvr is already on overdrive and I can’t keep up. Now this show lol. I can understand having a little online bf/gf when you’re a teen but anything beyond 18 is retarded.
That girl was devastated more than any other person I’ve watched on Catfish… she looked traumatized. I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt that she was so naive and vulnerable because of her personal loss. still though…smh
The thrist is REAL.
Hey, whatever it takes to wake the lil sista up. Whoring around can’t lead to a great outcome. She will either be a great woman to a good guy or a door mat for a bunch of losers. She is kinda fine though. Big ups to her and her future…
I feel bad for her and that Gladys girl shouldn’t have done that. Was it really all that serious? Why not introduce her to a nice, real guy. Who has all that damn type of energy? I like to hear good stories with happy endings, this would’ve made me more upset with life. Her dad was killed and then she gets "engaged" probably feeling better about life and it was all a hoax. I would have thought "Could life get any worse?"
I can see why her friend did that as a desperate measure to get her mind off of her woes and self destruction. Oh well it worked. Betrayal is the foundation of childrens happiness & manipulating their behavior, which is perpetrated by parents i.e. Santa Claus bringing gifts, The Tooth Fairy, etc. I’m glad Cassie isn’t ignorant and can see the blessing in it. But I won’t lie at first before it registered at Gladys front door, I would have beat her down.
Both Gladys and Cassie are two big titted young tenders I’d love to console…
Why would you tell the ending? I never read the back of DVD, books or any commentary about a show/movie. Glad I didn’t read anything first because I was really shocked to find out the truth.
cassie is pretty though
