A series of 50 TikTok videos dubbed "Who TF Did I Marry" that took the internet by storm earlier this year has landed a television adaptation.
In the viral TikTok series, Tareasa “Reesa Teesa” Johnson dived into the many red flags she ignored before marrying her ex-husband, who she described as a "pathological liar." Johnson detailed the alleged lies of her ex, who she nicknamed "Legion" to protect his identity, in 50 videos that added up to more than eight hours of content.
Johnson said "Legion" lied about playing football at San Diego State University, a school he never attended. The man also allegedly used fake social security numbers, lied about his job, and asked for money to pay for a funeral for his step-daughter who she later found out was still alive.
The TikTok series, which garnered over 450 million impressions across social media, has been picked up by Natasha Rothwell and her Big Hattie Productions banner following a competitive bidding war, per Variety.
Rothwell is credited as the creator and star of the upcoming Hulu comedy How to Die Alone. She also has starred in The White Lotus and is best known for her role as Kelli in HBO's Insecure, which she also wrote for.
The actress is set to portray Johnson in the upcoming TV adaption of "Who TF Did I Marry" along with executive produce.
