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.

This all because US society views sex as something shameful, especially when it's a woman being sexual. I think that all these anti-porn laws we're seeing in the US is about controlling free speech, and controlling sexuality (women's moreso than men's)

If what she's doing on her own time isn't illegal then employers should not be able to fire her for it.

I guess the silver lining of all this is that she made a million bucks in six months. If she's smart with her money and invests it she could set herself up for life after doing this for few years.

If what she is doing in her own time is against school policies, they better be paying her for that time too.

US society sees a woman using her own body to make a bunch of money, and wants to cancel her. It's not necessarily about being sexual, although that's part of it.

While I agree with this, it's a subset of the wider issue which is why does your boss get to care what you do when you are not there doing what they have paid you to do.

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

[–] [email protected] 138 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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 (27 children)

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.

[–] [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.

“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 (3 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 (6 children)

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

They claim that I violated their social media policy, but will not respond to me with how I violated it.

WTH is social media policy? Is it written somewhere that employees can't have OF? (And also who found her on OF and snitch on her?)

Honestly who gives a fuck if people wanna make onlyfans pages. I live in America and y'all a bunch of closet prudes...we're totally fine with violence in the open but any bit of sexuality and omg the Jesus republican nuts come out but separate church and state amiright# ? Lol. Here's a thought...pay teachers significantly more and all school staff on that note.

Unpopular Lemmy opinion: A HIGH SCHOOL teacher shouldn't be making easy to find, non-anonymous porn

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is treating the symptom. Teachers shouldn't need to supplement their income by making porn.

I don't disagree with your statement, but I want to treat the root cause.

It's insane that this is just possible. That labour rights are so terrible you can just fire someone directly after employing them when they clearly stated what they are and were doing.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Honestly, I'm all for privacy and your employer not doing this, but this is a strange situation. If I recall, on another post I saw she essentially made her OF very public as if she wanted someone to find out.

Again, I support our teachers being paid enough to survive, and employers not invading your privacy and acting on your private life, but in this case she definitely stirred the situation up herself.

Edit: For anyone confused, let me put it this way. This woman brings up an important issue, but I can't sympathize with her specifically. She's making an insane amount money, and she was privileged to be in a position where she could abuse the news/media for even more exposure. There are absolutely teachers out there in her situation who don't have that advantage, who need both their regular job and their OnlyFans, and they likely lose what little sleep they're getting in fear of being found out and losing one of their sources of income.

Further edit: Discussed this with someone else for a bit, and I didn't think of it, but if this blows up further, conservative parents are going to see this. You are going to have conservative parents up at schools, you're going to have them in PTAs and other meetings, and they're going to be demanding more privacy invasion in the form of increased background checks on teachers and other school staff. Schools are already struggling with staffing, and you're going to potentially have people lose their jobs over it. Yeah, this lady is an asinine grifter for all of this.

Do these bogus "social media policies" even work retroactively?
