Tareasa Johnson, also known as Reesa Teesa on TikTok, recently discussed her path to success, which began with her 50-part series “Who TF Did I Marry?”
In February, the New Jersey native began uploading small bits about her relationship with her ex-husband, “Legion,” detailing their duplicity and unhappiness. By the time she finished recording the series, which lasted more than eight hours, her following had increased from 8,000 to 300,000. According to The Cut, by March 4, the series had 3.6 million views, with part one reaching 39 million.
Reesa Teesa’s 3.6 million TikTok followers have sparked speculation regarding her earnings from the platform. In a recent interview with The Cut, the TikTok star clarified that she did not earn $100,000 from TikTok’s creator fund, as some had speculated, and that she received less than $5,000.
After launching her TikTok series, she stated that corporations viewed her as an easy target due to her perceived naivety and poor decision-making. I believe they were banking on the question, ‘Is she still dumb?’ I felt like they didn’t take me seriously until I mentioned that I had an attorney.”
Reesa Teesa has gotten calls from advertisers, in addition to various advantages including appearances on shows such as “Good Morning America” and “Tamron Hall Show.” Her lawyer also believes she might earn $2 million this year and $4 million by 2025.
Fans paid for Reesa Teesa’s vacation to London and Paris, with Hilton covering her hotel stay and Delta providing her with a free travel credit, as promised by her ex.
Reesa Teesa did, however, mention that she still works a 9-to-5 in law enforcement since she understands how fleeting fame can be.
“As soon as this happens, you’ll be on your ass.” “No job, no money, no friends, because you were too happy to be on Good Morning America,” she explained.
