MTV Catfish's Jasmine And Mhissy Episode Took A Moral Toll On Nev Schulman

The “Jasmine and Mike” episode of “Catfish” originally premiered in December 2012. In the episode, “Mike” was finally revealed as Mhissy and the entire ruse came into focus. The meeting was tense between the pair, considering that Mhissy had spent around two years manipulating and lying to Jasmine. Mhissy’s deception and sabotage of Jasmine was definitely something that required a serious time commitment.

During a Reddit Ask Me Anything session, “Catfish” host Nev Schulman was asked about the worst cases he has ever seen, and if he has ever felt threatened or endangered. Schulman replied, “I think the answer to both questions is probably the Jasmine & Mhissy episode from last season. I mean we really had no idea about Jasmine’s past with Mhissy and never considered that she would have done all this to get revenge on her. I felt so bad that I unknowingly set Jasmine up for such an embarrassing and upsetting situation. I also didn’t feel totally safe in that community considering that earlier that day police cars and a helicopter had come through chasing a criminal.” 

Schulman’s comments mean that the “Jasmine and Mike” episode was one of the most uncomfortable experiences for him, which is quite the dubious distinction for a program like “Catfish: The TV Show.”
