Earlier this year, Tareasa “Reesa Teesa” Johnson posted a series on TikTok entitled “Who TF Did I Marry?” which added up to more than 50 videos and over eight hours in length. In it, she chronicles her relationship with her pathological liar ex-husband.

The project is happening at ABC Signature after a bidding war, where Rothwell’s Big Hattie Productions has been under an overall deal. 

If you haven’t had a chance to check out Reesa Teesa’s harrowing series, it’s still up over at her TikTok:

The lies discovered by Johnson are varied and many. They include lying about playing football for San Diego State when he didn’t even attend, asking for money to pay for a funeral for his step-daughter who was still alive, and falsifying a social insurance number.

Throughout the series, they refer to the ex only as ‘Legion.’ But come on, you knew the internet would figure out the guy’s identity (and it did).

There’s also a “cliff notes” version of ‘Who TF did I marry?’ out there to give you the highlights:

For Rothwell, this news comes ahead of her series How to Die Alone, premiering on Hulu on September 13th. Johnson herself signed with CAA recently, so good on her. Good for you, Reesa. Cash in those chips!
