The Los Angeles Lakers community went viral on Twitter when the alleged host of ‘The Laker Point Podcast' who goes by the name of Vivian Flores went missing which eventually led to catfishing allegations.
On Sunday, her co-podcast host and a Lakers fan in Josh Toussaint posted on Twitter to get some help to find Flores who was reported missing in the Los Angeles area. She was described to have possibly worn a wig as she is currently battling leukemia.

Flores is reportedly a longtime member of the Lakers community and even has a significant following of over 16k on social media which includes a handful of influencers. Ice Cube’s son in O’Shea Jackson Jr. went on to share Toussaint’s Twitter post in order to help find the missing podcast host.

On Monday night, Toussaint gave an update on Twitter and claimed that Flores has been found alive.
However, a Twitter user named ItsKingsBruh revealed during a Twitter Spaces session which included Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant that he previously had a relationship with Flores. He decided to cut things off with the podcast host when he realized that he was being catfished as Flores went missing afterward.

Netizens continued to raise suspicion on Flores' real identity as they found out that her images were badly edited.

Toussaint found himself in the middle of allegations as the public speculated him to be the individual posing as Flores. The Twitter account @Butterfly_424 eventually resurfaced on social media to address the issue. Flores then broke her silence and defended herself but she still hesitated to go on a live stream to prove who she really was.
After Flores explained her side, Toussaint spoke and claimed that he was deceived when the podcast host decided to not reply to his messages on Monday night.

Still not satisfied, Toussaint appeared in a video clip with his friend named Waleed Khan in order to prove that Flores wasn't a real person.

He also shared a video of his messages with Flores' Twitter account which was being used by her alleged sister named Aly when the podcast host went missing.

To clear his involvement in the issue, Toussaint defended himself by sharing an explanation as to why he never shot video clips with Flores during their podcast sessions.
– Her excuse for not doing videocalls was because of her “self esteem”
– We’ve talked on the phone several times
– I do my pods on the Anchor app in the “Record with Friends” function, so I would send her the links. This one day she kept saying she was delayed bc crying nephew https://t.co/RCP60mmzUU pic.twitter.com/8VLjd9s4At— Josh Toussaint (@josh2saint) April 20, 2021
Josh Toussaint wasn't the only individual who was reportedly catfished by Vivan Flores. Apparently, the user goes behind several accounts just to troll people on social media. The reason behind this bizarre issue is still undetermined as the public remains clueless about the true identity of Vivian Flores to this day.
