The victim of the Sweet Bobby: My Catfish Nightmare, Kirat Assi, has opened up about the ‘real’ Bobby’s reaction.
Assi was catfished by her cousin for nine years, as she thought she was dating a man called ‘Bobby’ she met on Facebook via her cousin.
They never met for nine years, wouldn’t video call, and ‘Bobby’ (her cousin) would come up with excuses and reasons to rarely audio call.
When they did, they whispered, claiming their vocal chords had been damaged following a stroke.
The horrible ordeal Kirat went through has been detailed in a new Netflix documentary called Sweet Bobby: My Catfish Nightmare.
It released earlier this week, but has today shot straight to the top of the streamer’s charts.
Kirat’s story is shocking, and the documentary is a follow up to a popular podcast series called ‘Sweet Bobby’.
She details in the show the lengths her cousin, Simran Bhogal, went in order to keep up her lies.

She ran around 60 Facebook accounts to create a web of lies to convince Kirat that Bobby was real.
Kirat also details how at one point, she ran into the real man whose pictures had been being used by Bhogal to catfish her.
He didn’t recognise her, which she put down to the fact they were in a loud club.
In a recent interview, she has spoken of her disappointment in the reaction that the ‘real’ Bobby has had to her ten-year long nightmare.
She told Hello Magazine: “Bobby and I haven’t spoken. I’m a little bit disappointed. I think he’s only just realised in the last couple of months how closely connected we are, but that’s not on record anywhere.
“I’m a little bit disappointed this many years down the line.

“I am disappointed by the lack of joined-up-ness on the approach.
“I’ve tried to make sure that everybody in the journey is looked after, doesn’t feel vulnerable, everybody’s safe, but then you sometimes feel like you’re alone in that responsibility. I don’t feel like anyone else feels that back for me”.
She continued: “For me it’s not even pushing for the meeting. It’s about doing it on their side if they could. For me, I’ve talked about the community being the issue. For me, as the time’s gone on since the confession, they are the community.
The real Bobby spoke in the Netflix documentary, saying: “How can she pretend to be me for so long, and she’s a girl doing it to her cousin? None of it made any sense.”
He then added: “I got a call from a lawyer working with Kirat. He gives me a folder [this thick] with details of this huge, elaborate scheme to convince Kirat that there is a fake version of me out there who is extraordinarily extravagant.
“We’re just a normal family with a very ordinary lifestyle. That moment was even more shocking than the morning that Simran confessed.”
Sweet Bobby: My Catfishing Nightmare is out on Netflix now.
