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.

I don't even know if it's the habitual aspect that would weigh on you.

I know folks that objectively have it easy, but are bothered by a lack of perceived "value" to society. That being a soulless middle management in some certain company does nothing that feels valuable, but you get crap tons of money. Then someone else who makes real changes in the lives of young folks, but society feels like keeping them around poverty level. Feeling both of those can weigh on someone with a conscious. I was doing something important and couldn't eat, but now I can eat, but it makes no sense that this should be valued more.

Listen, I was trying to limit my assumptions as much as possible. The main point of my comment is that a change in lifestyle has a transient negative effect on mental health
