‘Who TF did I marry?’ TikTok series summary

During her series of 50 10-minute videos, titled, “Who tf did I marry,” Reesa explained how her ex-husband, whom she called “Legion” (a fake name) in the videos, completely lied to her for the entirety of their relationship, accusing him of being a pathological liar.

Reesa said she met her ex in early 2020 amid the Covid-19 pandemic. He initially told her that he’d moved to Atlanta because of work – he told her that he was a Vice President (VP) at a major condiment company (which she left unnamed).

The couple’s relationship proliferated, as Reesa became pregnant soon after they had begun quarantining together, though she later miscarried. Reesa and Legion then started looking for a house together, which is where the trouble began.

As their relationship progressed and they got married, Reesa started to figure out what Legion was lying about. For instance, she claimed that throughout their relationship, he would be on the phone with his friends, his brother, and other family members. He’d talk with them for minutes on end.

She later found out that he had not spoken to his brother since 2015, plus, he didn’t have any close friends. Because of this, she alleged that all of his phone calls were faked.

After catching him in multiple lies, Reesa found out that Legion gave her a defunct social security number when they got married. She retrieved his real social when she needed it for her new job’s background check.

Reesa also claimed that her ex-husband lied about his job. He was not the VP of a company, as he told her, but a temporary forklift driver, according to her. Reesa claimed that he’d often fake work calls, pretending to reprimand his imaginary employees.

Through the new information, Reesa also claimed her husband was a felon who had violated probation and was never the VP of the company he worked for. 

Reesa soon ended up leaving her husband in the middle of 2021 after being together for just over a year.

Who is the ‘Who tf did I marry?’ husband?

Even though Reesa kept the identity of her ex-husband a secret, TikTok users quickly took up the challenge of trying to track down the man — and they succeeded.

On Feb. 17, 2024, a TikTok user dannih_19 revealed on her account that she found Reesa’s ex through her own investigation, and claimed his real name was Jerome.

According to Danni, several other users reached out to her in hopes she would expose Reesa’s ex. Danni obliged and shared what she thought was the ex-husband’s Facebook account. Danni said she believed the man was Legion due to his Philadelphia Eagles hoodie (Reesa said in her videos he was from Philly), and he had WWE merch, which she shared in chapter 37 of the story he left at her home when they separated, along with luxury watches.

“Legion” responds to Reesa’s video series

While Danni believed she found Legion, via Facebook, Reesa never confirmed it was him. However, soon after Danni’s video, Jerome confirmed he was the man with the Facebook account by releasing his own TikTok in response to Reesa.

In the video, Jerome stated Reesa was lying about everything she stated in her “Who Tf did I marry” stories. He also claimed there was a “real reason I left you” that Reesa reportedly isn’t telling her audience.

“My message to her is please stop lying to these people, and you could tell them the real reason I left you – you cheated,” he said in the video. “I caught you in the house. We went to marriage counseling and it didn’t work, so we broke up.”

After Jerome posted his video, Reesa came out to say that since Jerome’s identity is out for the world to see, she hopes those interested in the story won’t “engage” her ex for much longer. She explained her ex is “not well” and “antagonizing” him could go further than social media clout.

“If you’re curious as to who he is, I get it,” Reesa said on February 19. “But please don’t engage because the engagement can turn antagonizing, and this person is not well. So just don’t. Don’t antagonize.”

She also said that she reached out to the creator who leaked his info and asked them to take it down.

Reesa shared in her livestream that she hasn’t spoken to Jerome since their divorce in 2022. She also said she hasn’t found anything her ex told her during their relationship to be true.
