There was a preview of the interview, which airs Thursday, on Good Morning America today. In this, Te'o admits that he lied to the press briefly after he found out that he was hoaxed in December. Te'o still sticks to his story that he was completely hoaxed before this, and truly thought he was in a relationship with a real person. From the interview:
