Woman’s 50-episode viral story of how she ignored red flags and married a ‘pathological liar’ is taking the Internet by storm
TikTok user named Rees Tees social media has been abuzz following the end of her 50-part series of posts, “Who TF Did I Marry,” which revealed what she claims was a terrible experience marrying a man who could best be described as a “pathological liar.” The Atlanta-area woman’s story spans greater than 10 hours, including a two-hour live chat on February 18.
Teesa met the man, whom she named “Legion,” based on a biblical story about demons, in March 2020 on Facebook. She found herself living a romantic dream when her tire blew on the strategy to their first date and he got here to her rescue by paying the repair bill and the trip.
According to Teesa, “Legion” was a financially wealthy former football player who worked at Apple in the offseason before moving from California to Atlanta to develop into a vice chairman of the spice company. The couple talked intimately about their personal life, family and what they’re in search of in a relationship. “Legion” recently divorced his first wife, who was unfaithful. Although he was unlucky in love, “Legion” says he wanted to search out someone he could seriously quiet down with, and after their first meeting and the few dates that followed, Teesa was absolutely smitten.
Two weeks later, the pandemic hit, and in a sudden turn of events, a budding romance become cohabitation attributable to a statewide shutdown. Teesa admits that although spending time with a man is not in keeping with her Christian values, she didn’t wish to quarantine alone. “Legion” also took care of the household bills, so it was nice to have some financial help. Things between “Legion” and Teesa quickly became serious, and a month later the pair were talking about buying a house together. “Legion” assured Teesa that he had no problem paying off the mortgage on his $700,000 home, convincing her that he had several savings accounts and investments hidden away.

“Legion” and Teesa married in January 2021 and divorced in June of the same yr after she discovered the whole lot she knew about “Mr. Sure” was either a lie or details of his estranged twin brother’s life.
Her ex-husband was not the vice-president of a spice company or a former football player at the stadium. In fact, he worked for a temp company as a forklift driver. Moreover, their fairy tale become a nightmare when he failed two attempts to purchase a house together, help her buy her dream automotive, and failed to select her up from the hospital after a miscarriage.
Teesa later learned that “Legion” had been using false Social Security numbers while falsifying Chase Bank approval documents for a house transaction that went bankrupt, and that his day by day phone calls to his brother and friends were one-sided, meaning that nobody was ever on the phone during the banter she witnessed. She also revealed that he is on parole with a record of crimes similar to trespassing and impersonating an officer.

When she found his second wife, Teesa was advised to get as far-off from “Mr. Sure,” because he had a history of weaving a web of lies. In retrospect, the viral sensation says its red flags resembled a parade of nations at the Olympics.
“I just know it was all a lie. I haven’t found anything to confirm that anything is true,” Teesa said in a live chat with a flood of invested TikTok users. “I have to forgive myself; maybe I shouldn’t say: forgive yourself for being stupid, but definitely forgive yourself because you would rather be right and married than be obedient and patient.
She added: “I actually think if it hadn’t been for Covid-19, I’m not sure – I think the relationship would have gone in a different direction. I do.” Talking to members of his family, she noticed that “they all said, ‘He’s been like this since he was a child.’
“Which tells me that you all saw something in him that was never addressed, never corrected, and now he is a grown man out here in the world, preying on anyone. To be clear, he doesn’t just prey on women. He also lied to men, not necessarily in a romantic way, but he lied to everyone.

The deeply twisted tale of deception attracts plenty of people eager to see it played out with actors. “Who do you think will tell this story best? Tyler Perry, Issa Rae, Shonda Rhimes or Ava Duvernay? I’ll go with Shonda!” commented one user.
Teesa simply hopes that her testimony will prevent others from making the same mistakes, and despite detectives discovering Legion’s true identity, she doesn’t wish to be picked on. Although she is currently fighting PTSD resulting from the ordeal, she plans to run a thorough background check to vet suitors at any time when that point comes.
