Sportswriter Ryan Schultz had been blogging about baseball on major sports sites for eight years when some women came forward alleging he harassed them online. Then it was revealed that Schultz, who claimed to have a wife and two children, was not a man at all, but rather a young Missouri woman who had written under the false identity since she was 13.

A Deadpsin report revealed the identity of Ryan Schultz to be 21-year-old Becca Schultz, who took on the identity to freely write for sites like SB Nation and Baseball Prospectus. As the years went by, Becca couldn't figure out how to disentangle herself from the fabricated persona.
