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...

  1. Sex work is real, valid work.
  2. There is nothing wrong with sex work. Sex-shaming is Puritanical horseshit.
  3. "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.
  4. Every other argument criticizing her for her sex work during her non-teaching hours is fucking moot.

Why look for a regular job? Continue OF for another year, retire with this fuck you money and do whatever you want.

I think she's just doing this for free promotion. Every article that's written about her she probably gets tons of new subscribers.

[–] [email protected] 61 points 1 year ago

Yup, work the system for all it's worth. The damage to the reputation is long done, so bleed it dry.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (3 children)

If you follow the link another helpful commenter left, it's pretty obvious she's not interested in being an educator. She's using the controversy to promote her dick-sucking videos.

[–] [email protected] 67 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean.... for that salary and the work you must do, I am surprised anyone is interested in being a teacher.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago

Or maybe she's falling back on her only option after she had to quit and got fired.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

she’s not interested in being an educator.

I think it's probably better to say: " she’s not interested in being an educator anymore. "

You are probably right now, but I'm willing to believe that she did at one point want to be an educator, but the financials didn't work that way. Can't blame her.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

While I don't think she should have been terminated from her role, I do wonder why this tactic seems to work so well.

Many smaller news outlets (especially in the UK) regularly run stories about a young woman going through employment disputes, being dumped in some way, or going through something borderline newsworthy, and many times these women have a OF page they actively promote.

I wonder if it's just easy stories from people that want to be promoted?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I don't want to dismiss the issue of people being fired for doing completely legal things, but I can't help but agree, this always seems to be the case. I saw an article recently about a woman struggling with other parents and teachers at school because of the size of her breasts. Seemed sad enough and didn't really understand why it was newsworthy, until I saw the mention of her OnlyFans and it all clicked haha.

“Not having to get up and go to a 9-to-5 has been tough on my mental health,” Coppage said.

Sounds insane to me, but whatever, different strokes for different folks.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Most people need something to do. Being free all the time is rarely good for mental health.

Develop an interest or a skill for God's sake

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Her skill was teaching kids, probably wanted to keep doing that for fulfillment despite the poor pay. But they wouldn’t let her.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

teaching kids online pays as much or more.

China was desperate for proper kids teachers to teach English and everything else (as opposed to the ESL teachers, or the "generic white people whose only skill was being born in North America").

She already has the equipment for it too.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

If she gets financially stable from OnlyFans, she can probably find a way teach. There's no need to rot just because your time is free.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

absolutely. online is super easy (to find work for someone with her training).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Thanks for the reply. But this is not what I meant. She seems politically locked out of schools, not inable to find application forms.

I was thinking more along the lines of non-profits which are always looking for volunteers. She could even spearhead an advocacy group with her current influx of money and fame

One can dream

Lacking external forces to structure your week and help motivate you? "Just be internally motivated!"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure my mates mum would die if she ever stopped working, she recently had to slow it down and give up one of her 10 jobs.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

... different strokes for different folks.

According to her videos, she has mastered several different strokes.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It's about structure and routine. A lot of people hospitalized for psych report issues with too much free time. And for a lot of people one of their only protective factors is a stable and satisfying professional life

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I have no idea how people like this exist.

If it's your own business or hobby then cool. But people out there feel the need to do some sort of basic job is crazy to me.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Income isn't stable and isn't enough to be considered fuck you money.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

A million in 6 months, I think if she could keep up near that for a couple of years, she could invest in something safe and live off of the gains.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

if she could keep up near that for a couple of years

Which part of "not stable" did you not understand?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What part of “if” and “near” and “a couple of years” did you not understand.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That's a mountain-sized if pretending to be hamster-sized.

Because maybe they actually love being a teacher?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Sorry you cannot be a teacher unless you're poor. That's why the pay is shit.
