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.

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.

Why is everyone always so afraid of conservatives and their hypocritical positions? So what if conservative parents make demands against privacy? You know what happens then? You deny them. You fight for privacy. Showing them your belly is never a winning political position.

It's not that simple. You can push back against them yes, but ultimately they exist in this world with us. You act like they're not going to push back or fight and that it's some sort of easy win.

It's ultimately easier to work around them and avoid fights when necessary.
