  (#1) Paris Dunn Had Been On The Show Catfish Previously

  Paris Dunn, who goes by her stage names Paris Roxanne and Paris Dylan, is a model from Riverside, California. She has a vast social media presence with hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram alone. Dunn receives a lot of attention for her provocative photos, but she would come to learn that not all attention is good attention. Dunn had already been featured on Catfish: The Tv Show after numerous people stole her photos and used them to catfish others. She initially went on the show to prove once and for all that she was the real Paris Dunn; however, she would end up being featured on the show again after the infamous Chris Andersen catfish scandal.

  (#8) The Catfisher Claims To Have Had A Partner In Crime

  During court, it was brought up that Chartier had an online friend from Texas who was also in on the catfish scandal and had even received half of the extortion money from Andersen.  It was the friend from Texas who Chartier had Andersen send the money to. The Texas friend was said to be another victim of Chartier from when Chartier pretended to be a male who was interested in her.

  After Chartier's arrest, she claims that the Texas woman knew exactly who she was and that they had actually been close friends for eight years. The Texas woman was her partner in crime, and Chartier claims the woman lied to police about their relationship because she didn't want to get in any legal trouble herself. We may never know for sure whether the Texas woman was a victim or partner, but at this point, there would be no reason for Chartier to lie about it.

  (#9) This Wasn't The First Time She Catfished

  Andersen and Dunn were not Chartier's first catfish victims, but, hopefully, they will be her last. Chartier admitted to investigators that she had catfished at least 11 other victims over the course of three years. She confessed that at one time she had a fake profile on which she pretended to be Brody Jenner, the reality star and son of Caitlyn Jenner. She also admitted to pretending to be model Natalie Skyy, as well as a Playboy Playmate Jaclyn Swedberg.

  (#11) Where Are They Now?

  After her arrest, Chartier continued to live in Canada and eventually met a man online named Rob Marku, whom she ended up marrying. Chartier, who continues to live in Canada on probation while her husband is in New York, claims that incarceration helped her anxiety and that she's no longer afraid to leave her house.

  Dunn still resides in Southern California and is still posting her selfies all over social media. Dunn even did another episode of Catfish: The TV Show after Chartier was released from prison because she was concerned Chartier would go back to catfishing people. She stated that she was disappointed Chartier did not receive a longer sentence. All the attention Dunn received from being catfished has only made her popularity grow, and she's currently competing for Maxim magazine's Maxim's Finest contest.

  Lastly, Andersen was traded to the Hornets in February 2017, but was immediately put on waiver, making him a current free agent. He has gone on to become engaged to Tina Wiseman and has been doing his best to stay out of the tabloids, which is probably a good thing.

  (#5) She Was Only 17 When She Began Her Relationship With The NBA Star

  Dunn initially lied to Andersen - or the person pretending to be Andersen - and claimed to be 21 years old. Dunn was really only 17, and because of this, the nude photos that were shared online were automatically considered child pornography. Even though Andersen wasn't responsible for the pictures posted online, nor did he know Dunn was only 17, things still looked really bad for him. Dunn and Andersen's relations were legal in the state of Colorado because the age of consent there is 15, but Andersen being in possession of the nude photographs qualified as child pornography. Because of who he is, the story made national headlines, and because of the obscure details of the case, Andersen was let go from the NBA when the season ended.

  (#10) The Catfisher Went To Jail

  Chartier pleaded guilty to seven counts of fraud as well as impersonation, extortion, and making threats. She was sentenced to 18 months in prison and ended up serving 12 months of her sentence, being released in October of 2016. She then went on to serve two years of probation. Understandably, she is now only allowed to use the Internet under court-ordered supervision.
