The 50-video series gained over 450 million impressions on social media. Johnson also gained over 3 million followers within two weeks.

He also lied about the death of his stepdaughter and asked for money for the funeral, she would later learn that she wasn’t dead. She claimed that her ex-husband also had a social security number that didn’t match the one on their marriage license.
In her story, Ressa Teesa referred to her husband as Legion, however, TikTok users quickly found out his identity and his real name which was Jerome McCoy. He would later respond to Johnson’s story and denied all allegations. Since going viral, many asked for a film or TV series to be made around her story.
Natasha Rothwell has granted everyone’s wishes. The actress, who played Kelli Prenny in the hit show Insecure, is set to direct and produce a TV adaptation of Who TF Did I Marry? Rothwell will also star in the project as Reesa Teesa.
