America’s Got Talent contestant Timothy Poe spoke to WFAA, an ABC affliate in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, admitting and apologizing for fabricating stories. However, Poe refused to say he lied. Instead, he gave excuses such as:

“I mean, as far as everything I said, I believe it wholeheartedly myself, but I feel like I’m going crazy.”

“I really don’t know right now what’s reality and what’s not reality.”

“I don’t feel like I’ve lied. That’s what’s driving me crazy, because I truly thought things have happened to me.”

In the past Poe has also claimed to have served in Iraq, but there is proof that he didn’t serve there. When asked about Iraq, he responded:

“I don’t know. I’m thinking, why have I for the last, over two years, believed things have happened to me and they might not have?”

In past interviews about his service, Poe did not stutter, so it is probable that it is not real.

I’m not a doctor, but it looks like Poe is a pathological liar. Poe even told WFAA that he knows he needs help and has already contacted the VA to make an appointment.
