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...

  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.

“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.

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

So get a hobby.

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

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.

... different strokes for different folks.

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

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.

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
