“Legion” isn’t feeling how Reesa Teesa painted him in her viral ‘Who TF Did I Marry’ Tiktok series. Reesa described her ex-husband, whom she purposely didn’t name-drop throughout the 50-part storytime, as a serial liar.
Days after the story took over TikTok, X, Facebook, Instagram, Google, Reddit…you get the point… Jerome McCoy revealed he’s “Legion.” As previously reported, he denied much of Reesa’s story, claiming that she cheated on him first, and that eventually led to the end of the marriage.
Now, in an interview with TMZ, McCoy said he’s considering legal action against Reesa. He has claimed, once again, that Reesa, real name Teresa Johnson, lied about him.
McCoy alleges that his ex-wife had already threatened to “expose” him before filming the ‘Who TF Did I Marry’ series. She allegedly wanted to reconcile, and when he refused, she took the story to TikTok, per Jerome.
He claims that her viral story has led to issues in his public relations job at a hospital. However, it’s unclear how exactly his work is being affected. Still, Jerome McCoy told TMZ he met with attorneys at his job on Monday (Feb. 26). It appears the company he works for feels “damaged by her storytelling.” If they decide to retaliate in court, “Legion” says he’s supportive.
Is he considering a private attorney or a defamation lawsuit? That remains unclear, says TMZ. In two circulating videos last week, Jerome said he hadn’t decided what he was doing next. But he was adamant that Reesa was spreading lies.
“But my message to her is, please stop lying to these people, and you can tell them the real reason I left you, you cheated. I caught you in the house with Bradley. We went to marriage counseling, didn’t work, and we broke up.”
Meanwhile, another alleged ex-wife of Jerome McCoy has also spoken out. In a circulating video, the woman seemingly sides with Reesa’s description of “Legion,” saying he “manipulated and love-bombed” her.
“…It’s been brought to my attention that my ex-husband is in these streets disturbing individuals as he always has. And I have been brought into this. Let me first say this chapter of my life is closed. I have moved on, it’s been more than 10 years…so Legion as y’all call him is a despicable, nasty, and vile individual.”
In his TMZ interview, Jerome didn’t speak on the alleged ex-wife’s claims above.
Reesa Teesa also hasn’t addressed him considering legal action. Still, she did say Legion’s brother, Chris, has been trying to contact her to request some clarifications to her ‘Who TF Did I Marry’ series.
