MTV’s “Catfish: The TV Show”

Catfish Scandal

In 2010, Paris Dylan caught the media’s attention after being caught up in a catfish scandal with Chris ‘Birdman’ Andersen, a professional basketball player. According to reports, after receiving his message on Facebook, Paris replied and they started chatting, and in the coming period they even shared explicit messages and photos.

Thereafter, she met another person named Tom Taylor, who introduced himself as Chris’ best friend, and persuaded Paris to finally meet Chris in person. They eventually met each other and after spending a weekend together, Taylor and Chris started threatening her because she did not want to steal the password and code of another basketball player, so they could hack him. Afterwards, she finally confessed to her mother everything what had been going on.

Victims of Catfishing

In 2012, Chris Andersen was contacted about the case by media, but he refused to give an interview, sending his lawyer instead. His lawyer stated Chris got an e-mail from her mother, who claimed she knew Paris and they had spent the weekend together. Moreover, he also said Paris lied about her age, claiming she was 21 instead of 17. The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) eventually started an investigation, and it was discovered that messages from both Paris and Chris were moderated and changed by a third person, named Shelley Chartier.

She created the fake profile of Tom Taylor to blackmail them, so Chris Andersen was just a victim of catfishing. The woman ultimately received an 18-month prison sentence; additionally, Paris once again appeared in MTV’s “Catfish: The TV Show”.
