Viral Chargers fan says she's season-ticket holder, not paid actor
The Los Angeles Chargers fan who went viral during the team's loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football insists she's the real deal.
Cameras captured the fan experiencing a wave of emotions while cheering on the Chargers, leading some to suspect that she was a paid actor and not a true supporter of the team.

The woman has been identified as Merianne Do - a season-ticket holder who rents an on-field cabana suite multiple times per year with her husband, Tuan Pham, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. The couple asked the Chargers' director of premium seating to release their names and help get the word out that they're real fans.
The Chargers fell to 2-3 on the season with Monday's 20-17 loss to the Cowboys. They'll face the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs in Week 7.
