The TikToker who went viral last month for her epic 50-part TikTok series about her deceptive ex-husband has taken the entertainment world by storm.
Congratulations are for Reesa Teesa, whose real name is Tareasa Johnson.
What began as a vent session with her TikTok following has matured into what appears to be a lucrative career.
Reesa Teesa has signed with the Creative Artists Agency (CAA) for talent representation. The agency’s roster includes Cardi B and A$AP Rocky, among other stars.
Just weeks after her series, Who TF Did I Marry?, garnered over 400 million impressions, it’s been confirmed that Tareasa “Reesa Teesa” Johnson has signed with CAA.
The first part of the series, a video asking, “What’s a f**ked up thing your ex did to you?” alone, has received 39.5 million views on TikTok and counting.
In a statement, Johnson expressed her delight at being represented by the prestigious agency.
“I am excited to join the CAA family in what has become an extraordinary and life-changing opportunity. I hope to bring this story and personal experiences to an even bigger platform with the hope of helping those in similar circumstances know they are not alone,” says Johnson.
During a recent interview with The Cut, Johnson admitted that reflecting on and documenting her traumatic marriage and subsequent divorce was difficult for her.
“It was actually hard to do the entire series. “You’re putting yourself out there. “You’re a very vulnerable way. If you’re going to tell this story, you’re gonna have to admit that you f**ked up. I can’t sit here and say that I can’t still blame myself. The falls that I had in 2021, those feelings are trying to come back in 2024,” she explained to the media outlet.
Despite online speculation that she had made millions, she denied the rumors, claiming she had earned less than $5,000.
According to Reesa Teesa, after finishing the series and realizing that her ex-husband, Jerome ‘Legion’ McCoy, had never liked or loved her, she cried in her bathroom for 15 minutes.
And Jerome ‘Legion’ McCoy, her ex-husband, has denied all her claims—as she expected.
