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.
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.
Here I am just aghast at the mass acceptance of capitalists dictating ANYTHING about what ANY employee does when they are not being actively paid and/or working their assigned hours.
I will tell any supervisor that attempts to infringe on my non-working hours, what I do the second I leave here is not up for discussion here, and I add that my goal when I leave work is to pretend this place doesn’t exist.
Modern corporate culture under capitalism set these antagonistic terms, then they get all indignant when their employees don’t pretend to admire them. They already get to exploit us under threat of homelessness, so fuck pretending to enjoy it like the A-type class traitors pining to be their oppressor’s favorites.
Would you include protesting? What about protesting an abortion clinic? What about attending a MAGA rally? What if you found out a coworker was heavily involved in the KKK but never discussed it at work?
I’m asking these questions because I entirely agree with you. Activities outside of work should have no influence on your treatment at work. This includes both things we support and things we do not support.
Would you still agree?
I would. I consider the capitalists we’re forced to work for under threat of homelessness to be the primary cause of the emboldened cults of willfull ignorance you mentioned.
They’ve been propagandizing us en masse since Reagan to reject evidence for their profit, stuff like “climate change is a hoax to sell books!” That led to a self-sustaining American proud ignorance they can no longer control.
The MAGA people are the capitalist’s Frankenstein. The capitalists are more responsible for them than the poor gullible bastards are for themselves.
And I can’t report them, as they own this fucking place and all of us. The MAGAts and freshly emboldened white supremacists are just side effects of Wall Street.
Are you comparing a domestic terrorist organisation that regularly commits hate crimes to adult work?
I’m comparing two topics that tend to be controversial.
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.
IMO, we NEED teachers. We DON’T need more porn. And a high school teacher doing porn seems like a conflict of interest. And frankly it’s not about prudes as much as some of these comments want it to be. This sort of optics exists for lots of jobs.
If she wants to quit being a teacher to do porn, go for it. But, and I know this is going to be a wild concept for people, but you can’t get everything you want the way you want, i.e. “you can’t have your cake and eat it too”.
How are the two related? Why are you saying that it is a conflict of interest? It literally is about prudes, otherwise people wouldn’t give a shit and “optics” as you call it wouldn’t matter.
I get it you’re hot for teacher… Considering you put optics in quotes I’m going to guess you’re a kid yet. “As you call it”, fucking lol.
If someone wants to do porn do porn. If someone wants to have a lot of casual relationships and private of their own home go for it. But if you’re going to sit there and act naive that teenagers don’t have access to the internet and don’t know what porn sites are and don’t talk… And you can’t figure out how that’s a conflict of interest… When you’re supposed to educate the kids. That’s a mental disconnect on your part, and everyone else at downloaded me that I can also assume that just wanted to see a naked teacher because fetish.
Try again weak troll. All you are worried about is “what would the people think?!” Which when you don’t care what people think about you, is not an issue at all. She’s there to do a job - teach people. Her also being a porn star doesn’t make her job any different, it makes prudes like you worry, because you can’t imagine a world in which someone doesn’t care about what people think about them.
Try again weak troll
So a troll in your mind is just someone that doesn’t agree with you… ok.
You’re making a lot of wild assumptions, acting like you know me at all. You REALLY need me to be this mega-prude because that’s the only truth you know in your mind, it’s the only way your argument holds water. Gosh, would be weird if I said… she could do porn I wouldn’t care… but being doing porn AND being a teacher, probably not so much.
You act like teenagers don’t go to porn sites. They do. You act like teenagers don’t talk. They do. Your acting like kids wouldn’t lie about their age and use their parents money to pay for crap online (porn or otherwise), they do. You’re acting like a class full of hormone fueled teenagers are going to be respectful and pay attention in class and not be disruptive… delusional. You seem to believe actions shouldn’t’ have consequences so long as you agree with it because it fits in your personal world view and everyone should just shut up and agree. Sorry, world doesn’t work like that.
I don’t know how to help you. Honestly at this point, trying to show you how teacher selling porn is not ok… it’s like trying to argue with a Tumper that the election wasn’t stolen. Both of you have dug your heals in and only subscribe to your truth and everyone else, every reasonable argument be damned, and you lash out to anyone who doesn’t agree.
So, I’m checking out of this pointless conversation with you.
Nah, you are a mega prude and don’t even see it. I said already - people who don’t care what people think about them don’t give two shits. If you think a class full of teenagers can’t “pay attention” because their teacher does porn, you are part of the problem. Otherwise, no attractive young teacher can teach, since “horny teenagers”. You know jack shit about teaching, about this topic. You just throw in your worthless 3 cents with a centuries old “would someone please think of the CHILDREN?”

That’s super interesting. All this time I thought she was doing it on the side in a “mind your own business” way.
But intentionally advertising like this bridges the two lives so the “other life” is correct to respond, IMO.
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.
Why look for a regular job? Continue OF for another year, retire with this fuck you money and do whatever you want.
I think she’s just doing this for free promotion. Every article that’s written about her she probably gets tons of new subscribers.
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.
I mean… for that salary and the work you must do, I am surprised anyone is interested in being a teacher.
Unpopular Lemmy opinion: A HIGH SCHOOL teacher shouldn’t be making easy to find, non-anonymous porn
There are reasons why that opinion is unpopular
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.
But what if you like teaching, and also like making porn.
Teachers shouldn’t have to, but they should be allowed to if they want to.
“Not having to get up and go to a 9-to-5 has been tough on my mental health,” Coppage said.
Oh, the humanity! That poor thing.
Eh, it actually is very hard to change all your habits.
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
Then wake up that early anyway 🤷♂️
No one is forcing her to sleep in while she’s not working.It actually isn’t that hard. You know, compared to actual problems.
It actually is hard, habit psychology has been thoroughly researched. However, once she stabilises she’ll be in a much better place than she was before.
She’ll be right in between two dudes pounding away if this news is correct
Idk, i had friends who were in between jobs for a month or two and almost lost their minds. I had shingles for almost a month and had the time of my life.
Yes, not being able to deal with bordom or entertain yourself can lead to mental problems.
But that is not caused by getting fired or not finding a job. If anything it’s a problem that is masked by the having job.
I’m not entirely sure this is a fair take. Although i can understand where you’re coming from, i think it’s reasonable to consider that a decent number teachers (although certainly not all) are both passionate about their profession and also underpaid. This almost forces teachers to have a second job (side hustle) to enable them to continue teaching. The teacher in the article chose a less socially acceptable side hustle, but not an illegal one, and once found out, her employer activated a morality clause to fire her.
From a purely monetary standpoint, she’s probably fine (assuming she continues her other job), but I’m not sure it’s reasonable to say that money is the only thing she cares about. Being fired from her (probable) passion of teaching sucks.
Also, being unemployed sucks. It isn’t really about being bored so much as not feeling like you’re part of society. And for many, of course, it’s a financial hardship, but it can definitely be mentally taxing when feel like you don’t have a meaningful role in life or your community.
There is also added social connotation. For example, meeting people, you often ask what you do. “I’m a teacher” will elicit significantly different responses than “i used to be a teacher” or “I’m an onlyfans model.” Whether or not any of us agree that it’s “ok” has no bearing on her future interactions and life. Labels like these matter to a lot of people, so i could definitely see how this would be mentally and emotionally taxing.
“I’m a teacher” will elicit significantly different responses than “i used to be a teacher” or “I’m an onlyfans model.”
This sums up the key point. Being financially on good footing is a part of happy living, but being proud of your contribution to the world is another. This is not just because it’s taboo, but because it just doesn’t feel like it should be as valuable. I’d say the same problem could befall a firefighter turned corporate lawyer.
Oh, we’re just judging in this thread? Cool cool cool
my friend says that’s disgusting! he’s also asking what her account name is…?
