Teacher who resigned after her OnlyFans page was discovered says new employer fired her for violating social media policy (www.kbtx.com)

Had to supplement her $42,000 per year teacher salary with OF and made nearly $1 million in six months (almost 50 times as her salary) before the school caught wind of it and forced her to resign. Got a new job out of education and was fired five days later when they discovered news articles about her.

Edit: To those basically saying she had it coming because she made her OF account public...

Sex work is real, valid work.
There is nothing wrong with sex work. Sex-shaming is Puritanical horseshit.
"But her students could find her OF!" is a problem their parents should have to solve. It is not her responsibility to use an alias, because of points 1 and 2.
Every other argument criticizing her for her sex work during her non-teaching hours is fucking moot.

She was already making way more doing OF than being a teacher. She still chose to be a teacher even though she didn't have to. I trust that means she either already had ways of handling it or it didn't bother her. Either way, that's her decision to make, it shouldn't impact her being fired.

Being a porn star is not a sustainable careeer though. Not saying being a teacher is much of an alternative though.

If you make 20 years worth of income in one year maybe it doesn't need to be sustainable

Fair enough

She made 50 years of income in 6 months.

It's not, but she's making more than enough to retire early.

I'd rather not have a porn actor serving as a role model to kids.

Get over yourself. Even if they don't do porn, the kids will make shit up about the ones they find attractive. Or are teachers not allowed to be attractive, either?

There was a rumor at my high school that one of the math teachers used to pose for Playboy back in the day. Whether she did or not (I never found out, and who cares), she knew her shit and was a damn good teacher.

Let people live. For crying out loud.

I’d welcome it. It is an opportunity to teach young adults about consent and how women are not sexual objects. What’s next? Your religion says not to drink alcohol and your teacher is a bartender after work. *Straight to jail.

That's great. But there's a shortage of teachers so maybe unless they start paying more to attract people that don't have to resort to pornography, we should probably not put more restrictions on teachers, particularly if they are pointless puritan pearl clutching.
