Tareasa “Reesa Teesa” Johnson, the creator who had everyone and their momma in a chokehold with her viral 50-part TikTok series “Who TF Did I Marry?” — has turned that reckoning into a book. “What (TF) Do I Do Now?: Reclaiming Myself, One Piece at a Time” is billed as an unfiltered account of how Johnson rebuilt her life after a relationship she said was built on deception, and it’s scheduled for release Aug. 25, 2026, from Storehouse Voices/Penguin Random House. The memoir will be available in hardcover, ebook, and audiobook editions. 

Johnson broke into the cultural conversation in early 2024 when she posted a serialized, multi-hour TikTok confession that detailed what she described as years of lies and manipulation by a man she referred to as “Legion.” The series rapidly went viral, drawing millions of views and turning Johnson into a public storyteller about deception, survival, and healing. Since then, she’s been approached by Hollywood — her story is in development for television, and she signed a book deal to expand on the work she began on social media. 

According to the publisher, “What (TF) Do I Do Now?” is not a self-help manual so much as a personal, candid conversation about reclaiming self-worth after trauma. PRH’s description says the book will dig into Johnson’s healing process, offering readers an intimate look at therapy, boundaries, and the small choices that rebuild confidence. That positioning matches Johnson’s public narrative since going viral: she has leaned into healing, therapy, and public storytelling as tools to help others spot red flags and rebuild after abuse. 

The commercial trajectory has been fast. Major outlets profiled Johnson after the TikTok series, she did national TV appearances, signed with CAA for representation, and is now expanding into publishing and television development — a rapid pivot from viral creator to multi-platform storyteller. 

For readers who followed the TikTok saga, the book promises fuller context and reflections beyond the clip-sized moments that made Johnson a cultural phenomenon. Preorders are open now.
