What happened on Catfish with Paris Roxanne?

Paris Roxanne struck up an online relationship with Chris Andersen beginning in fall 2011. The two shared hundreds of messages and eventually exchanged photos too. Paris agreed to meet Chris in Denver (he played for the Denver Nuggets at the time) at the urging of Tom Taylor, who claimed to be Andersen’s best friend. They spent a weekend together, but things began to unravel shortly after when each were bombarded with odd messages.

First, Paris received a message from who she thought was Taylor, angry at her for deciding to meet up with another pro basketball star. This person claiming to be Taylor said that Andersen would post the photos Paris sent to him online, which worried her. This led her to tell her mom what transpired. Then, it was Chris who received a message from someone who claimed to be Paris’ mom, wondering about the photos and their time in Denver. Obviously he was confused, and his attorney handled the email exchange.

After a lengthy investigation, it was discovered that both Chris and Paris’ online correspondences were coming from different IP addresses. Now, here’s a twist: the addresses originated in Canada! Apparently Shelly Chartier was the one behind it all – impersonating both Paris and Chris. The two thought they were talking to each other, but in reality, they weren’t.
