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.

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

I'd say so, at least sometimes. Imagine finding somewhat recent Facebook posts from a new hire and finding out they're a Nazi, racist, etc. I'd still want grounds to fire them.

Whether this situation applies? I don't think so. Some company just doesn't want to risk bad PR.

Bad PR because they don't pay teachers enough or bad PR because sex work isn't considered legitimate by some?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Definitely the latter.

Sex work in the US is still considered highly shameful, even as the amount of content grows every year and is clearly consumed by a ton of people in the US. Businesses don't want to be associated with the taboo.

This happened in missouri, so I don't think they give a fuck what they're allowed to do.
