Viral TikTok Series 'Who TF Did I Marry' Will Be Adapted For TV

Speaking up and sharing her story is paying off in many ways for Tareasa Johnson, who TikTokers may know as Reesa Teesa. Her 50-part series titled, "Who TF Did I Marry" captured tons of attention on TikTok earlier this year and will now grab more attention as the story is being adapted for TV.

The TV adaptation was recently announced as well as who will play Johnson, and fans are clearly excited!

The news is out! Reesa Teesa's captivating story that details her relationship with her ex-husband is heading to TV!

The 50-part TikTok series which totaled about eight hours in length, grabbed millions of people's attention and helped Johnson gain more than 3 million followers at lightning speed.

The series chronicles her experience being married to a "narcissist" and "pathological liar" - from meeting to dating to marrying and everything in between.  Her intro video to the series was shared last Valentine's Day and explained how she was going to share her story.

"I feel like this video is important to give some context, so that way when people jump into the series, they kinda can figure out, oh, let me start it, the introduction video, and then work my way through," she said. "Everything I'm gonna tell you can be verified. There are people in my life who can easily verify, yes, this did happen, yes he really did do that, yes, he said that, yes she did go through that."

According to Variety, "The White Lotus" actress Natasha Rothwell is developing the TV adaptation of the viral TikTok series. She is not only starring as Johnson in the show but also serving as executive producer.

Variety reported, "Following a competitive bidding war, the project was set up at ABC Signature, where Rothwell's Big Hattie Productions banner was previously under an overall deal."

Rothwell created and stars in "How to Die Alone," which is set to premiere on Hulu on September 13. She's also well known for her roles in HBO's "Insecure" and "The White Lotus."

The viral TikTok star took to the app to share her big television news with a screenshot of Rothwell's Instagram post.

"Finally, the news is out. I didn’t disappear, I was in negotiations!" her caption revealed. "I am BEYOND excited to work with THE Natasha Rothwell. Listen, we are about to change the game. Get ready, get set, GO!!!"

Excited fans quickly flooded the comment section with their positivity about the new venture. Even TikTok, where Reesa Teesa's success began, had something to say, commenting, "I’m SAT." Tons of other excited comments quickly followed.

"The fact that it hasn’t even been a year since we heard this story just shows how incredible you are. You’re doing big things girl!" one follower wrote. Another added, "Girl!!! I knew the TikTok series wasn’t going to end there! You better do it!!! I’m so excited for the series. Can’t wait! Congratulations."

Johnson started from the beginning in part one of her series and continued to tell her story in videos that followed. She explained that she met "Legion" (she changed his name for her story) in early March 2020 on not one but two dating apps.

"I did not realize that he was on both under two different names. So one was his actual name, and the other one was a variation, like a nickname that he called himself," she said. "Different pictures. So it was a running joke between us, oh you didn't even recognize that you had matched with me on Hinge. No, I didn't."

She admits that should have been a red flag. She calls it the "United Nations of Red Flags" because there were so many red flags that "you would have thought I was color blind cause I ignored all of them."

While the 50-part video series was very detailed, Reesa Teesa left one painful detail out of her story. She opened up about it during an appearance on "The Tamron Hall Show."

"The one thing I did not put in there, I hit on it but I did not go in-depth, the part for me that I don’t talk about because I don’t want to be that vulnerable, I don’t want someone to make fun of, it is the fact that, once I discovered that no he’s not a regional manager, he’s not a VP of production or operations, he was just a regular employee, the dominoes started falling, and one of those dominoes was the realization that you did not have a business meeting when I had to go to the hospital. You simply were not there," she told Hall.

"So when I was texting you, and I was terrified, and texting you that I'm in pre-op at Northside Hospital and I'm so scared because I just don't know what's gonna happen, and David text me back, there came a moment where once I discovered all the lies, that I realized, you really left me hanging when I needed you the most. And on so many levels, I can honestly sit here and tell you that is the one thing that I struggle to forgive because it's already hard."

Johnson was referring to the time she suffered a miscarriage and ended up alone in the hospital.

"I take myself back to when I discovered there was no David," she continued. "So, you were pretending to be someone else, texting me when I was in pre-op telling you I’m scared, I love you, I text all this."
