The man who was described by his ex-wife in a viral 50-part series known as “Who TF Did I Marry?” is claiming she was unfaithful and he left her.

An Atlanta woman known as Reesa Teesa on TikTok took the internet by storm after she shared several videos describing her ex-husband as a pathological liar. Teesa referred to her ex as “Legion” in the videos, but he has now been identified as Jerome “JC” Rome McCoy.

Teesa said they met on Facebook, and McCoy later rescued her when her tire blew on her way to their first date. He paid the bill for the repair as well as for their date, and the two soon became close over time. The COVID-19 pandemic soon followed, and despite only dating for two weeks and going against her Christian values, Teesa claimed she and McCoy moved in together because she didn’t want to quarantine alone. She also loved the idea of someone else helping with her bills.

Teesa said that McCoy claimed to be a former arena football player who worked at Apple in California before moving to Atlanta for a job as the VP of a condiment company. Teesa also said that McCoy convinced her that he could afford a $700,000 home, and the two were married in January of 2021.

By June, she had kicked him out, and they were divorced. Teesa later discovered that everything McCoy had told her was a lie, including his job. She said she found out McCoy was actually a forklift driver at a temp company, not a VP. She also learned that he allegedly used fake social security numbers on their mortgage documents, was on probation, and faked phone conversations with his family and friends.

Teesa also accused McCoy of failing to pick her up from the hospital following a miscarriage and revealed that he once impersonated a police officer.

“I just know that everything was a lie. I have not found anything that proves something was true,” she said. “I did not pay attention to the United Nations of red flags, and I’m paying the consequences for that.”

McCoy responded in a video of his own circulating online, where he accused Teesa of being the liar and cheating on him with a man named Bradley.

“Straight lying. It’s sad. It’s completely false, he began, “She lied about everything.”

“We went to marriage counseling, didn’t work, and we broke up,” he continued, “But all my message to her is please stop lying to these people and tell them the real reason I left you. You cheated. I caught you in the house with Bradley.”

He also noted that he plans to tell his side of the story but hasn’t decided which platform he will tell it to.

After the video was shared on The Jasmine Brand’s Instagram page, many were shocked by the recent revelation One fan was shocked by the number of videos shared by Teesa. “This is crazy. I’m not watching a 50-part story about someone’s Lyin husband & I damn sure not investigating to find his identity. Y’all need internet restrictions.”

Another fan wrote, “That scratch on the head mean he did whatever she said he did!” A third added, “The audacity he about to get online and lie to us too.”

Teesa added that she shared her story as a cautionary tale for others, in hopes of avoiding what happened to her.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
