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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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?

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.
