The “Why TF Did I get married” series on TikTok had me tied down last weekend. I started watching shortly after it came out and Ressa Tessa is a genius.
In case you aren’t one of over 135 million viewers of this story, let me catch you up. Ressa met a man online during COVID-19. They started dating in March of 2020 and were living together in less than a month. They ended up getting engaged, married, and pregnant within months. By January of 2021, the pair was married. Shortly after their marriage, Ressa started to realize the man she married may not be telling her the entire truth about him and his past. As it turns out, she was right. He lied about EVERYTHING. The only thing he told that was the truth was his name. That is crazy!
Part One of Ressa Tessa Series
It’s no secret that TikTok does monetize videos, especially ones that are viral. A creator recently posted a video estimating that creator Ressa Tessa, could have made upwards to $300,000 from posting videos about the time she married a pathological liar.
Now, I will be honest, I could care less how much she made. As a matter of fact, I’m glad that she made money, but it bears another question. How do social media platforms, in this case TikTok, truly compute the numbers for their compensation plan. I know that videos have to qualify and they have indeed placed specifics out about them, but are they indeed correct. I have seen creators post content that they indeed own. Content that doesn’t infringe on any copyrights, but yet and still, they are disqualified by TikTok and those creators are left receiving zero compensation. I do believe Tessa will get some amazing deals from this and for that I am happy and proud of her. What seemed like destruction in her life will now be a testimony and possibly therapy for other women in similar situations. I am sure she will be a new release on Netflix very soon!
Netflix New Releases for January 2024
Streaming giant Netflix has a lot of highly-anticipated movies to offer their subscribers. From comedies to grisly dramas, the streamer’s January releases feature some of our favorite actors and producers. With the writers and actors strikes over, streamers and production companies are releasing projects that have been held off due to production being shut down in the latter half of 2023.
New Film and Television Series in 2024
For Netflix, one of the streamer’s highest-profile new series, 3 Body Problem, was bumped out of 2023 and into 2024. This is the first post-Game of Thrones show from creators David Benioff and Dan Weiss, arriving in the Spring. The sci-fi drama has been in the works since 2020, starring Eiza González, Benedict Wong, and Game of Thrones alums John Bradley, Liam Cunningham, and Jonathan Pryce. Additionally, the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender series is just as highly anticipated for fans of the beloved original Nickelodeon animated series. It will be coming to the streamer in late February.
Sofia Vergara stars as real-life Colombian cartel boss Griselda Blanco in a miniseries, looking completely unrecognizable. In it, she creates one of the most profitable cartels in history. With six episodes that are each an hour long, Griselda creator Eric Newman said Vergara was perfect for the role “not only because she, like Griselda, is a single mother who came to America from Colombia with nothing and built an empire, but because it was unexpected of her to do. Sofia has been thought of one way, a beautiful and brilliant comedic actress, and she is so much more than that.”
For the movie fanatics, Netflix has a few standout films kicking off January alone. Another standout project is Society of the Snow, the harrowing story of the Uruguayan rugby team that crash-landed in the Andes mountains in 1972. Kevin Hart offers a new comedy in a heist film, and Dan Levy directs and stars in a dramedy titled Good Grief. Coming in March, Millie Bobby Brown stars in a fantasy action movie called Damsel. Later in the month, Lindsay Lohan stars in her second rom-com, Irish Wish. April brings Zack Snyder’s sequel, Rebel Moon Part 2: The Scargiver.
Take a look below at the new additions that will be released in January 2024 on Netflix:
