A 22-year-old University of South Florida student found herself on the wrong end of a social media frenzy involving a New Jersey teenager with the same name who made headlines for suing her parents.

Commenters apparently confused Canning with the 18-year-old New Jersey high school student and cheerleader of the same name (pictured) who filed a lawsuit against her parents for living expenses and college money.
