Netflix’s ‘Untold’ to Tackle Daejon Love (Exclusive)
Netflix’s next *Untold* documentary will examine Daejon Love, who allegedly posed as a San Francisco 49ers receiver to scam women out of money. The film, titled *Untold: Wide Deceiver*, is expected to tell the story through firsthand accounts from people affected and explore how Love’s viral online persona concealed a darker story.
Love was arrested for wire fraud on 24 August 2026 after women came forward to law enforcement. Viral posts showed him wearing a 49ers helmet and claiming to be a receiver; he also used the fake number 7 and asked businesses for free goods, services and personal security. The film has no announced director or participants, though a source close to production says it will focus on the women’s stories.
