Tareasa Johnson, known as Reesa Teesa on TikTok, continues to go viral from her 50-part series called ‘Who TF Did I Marry?‘ Millions and millions of views later, social media is left wondering how much money has the TikToker actually racked up from her viral series.
While fans everywhere speculate about how many dollars those millions of views have turned into, Johnson, who exposed her ex-husband Jerome McCoy aka “Legion,” is claiming all of the speculation is rubbish and that the actual amount is nowhere near the huge payday everyone thinks she received.
To note, TikTok doesn’t publicly share the exact figures that content creators receive per view. However, according to The Leap, TikTok’s old Creator Fund paid creators about two cents per 1,000 views. A new version of the paid program, the Creativity Program, has since launched last year, and claims to pay its users up to 20 times more.
Speaking on all of the speculation, Johnson recently shared a video to her TikTok and said, “The stories about the amount of money that I’ve made on TikTok with this whole ‘Who The F**k Did I Marry?’ series is wildly inaccurate. So, when I started this series, I was not yet in their creator fund. I didn’t get approved for it until, like, midway into the series, right? So, all the videos I did beforehand weren’t even counted for the creator fund.”
Johnson also previously shared that her Reesa Teesa account had been suspected from the Creator program. She explained, “It’s only counted based off of the eligible views, so if you do the math, it’s not that much. But here’s the kicker. Guess who got suspended out of the creator fund. I got suspended because I had multiple violations because I had re-uploaded some of the videos in the series and you can’t do that.”
The ‘Who TF Did I Marry?” TikToker continued, “For the next 30 days, I am not making any money from the videos. I am merely making these videos from the heart. But, the good news is, in my mind, I have an idea for a series of videos. It will not be 50 parts, but just something I can document and talk to you guys about and again upload it all at once. I was going to do it sooner rather than later, but now that I’m suspended I’mma just wait out my 30 days.”
The viral TikToker wrapped up her video by denying claims that she received a big payday from her viral series, ‘Who TF Did I Marry?” She insisted, “So to the people who think I’ve made 80,000, 100,000, 300,000… I am so sorry to disappoint you, but the actual number is nowhere near. I am not quitting my day job.”
Johnson later updated viewers that her access to the Creativity Program had been restored. Having racked up over 500 million views on her 50-part series, to date, the TikToker will still likely receive a nice chunk of money. However, it is unclear if the views from when she wasn’t a part of the program will be counted.
