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.

    Why look for a regular job? Continue OF for another year, retire with this fuck you money and do whatever you want.

        While I don’t think she should have been terminated from her role, I do wonder why this tactic seems to work so well.

        Many smaller news outlets (especially in the UK) regularly run stories about a young woman going through employment disputes, being dumped in some way, or going through something borderline newsworthy, and many times these women have a OF page they actively promote.

        I wonder if it’s just easy stories from people that want to be promoted?

        I don’t want to dismiss the issue of people being fired for doing completely legal things, but I can’t help but agree, this always seems to be the case. I saw an article recently about a woman struggling with other parents and teachers at school because of the size of her breasts. Seemed sad enough and didn’t really understand why it was newsworthy, until I saw the mention of her OnlyFans and it all clicked haha.

        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.

                  Nobody was talking about “getting rich” In some states you cant even live on a salary of a teacher and people are forced to work secondary or part time jobs. Of course, teaching is beter for sociaty than making videos for onlyfans, but I don’t blame her one bit.

              You’re missing the forest for the trees. Teachers need to be paid more so that they can actually support themselves. Making derisive comments about people moving to other careers because they pay better is just attacking the wrong people. Making millions on OF is an extreme exception, but there are plenty of teachers who have left the education field to become a bartender or such, because teaching wasn’t paying them enough to afford rent and groceries. Teachers leaving the field are the victims of this, get mad at the system not at the people trying to survive.

                No, you don’t get it. Every single person needs to grab their bootstraps and pull so hard that everyone is promoted to management! Then we’ll all make management salaries. Having no employees left to manage, we’ll resort to managing each other.

                I was simply saying it’s kind of a shitty thing to say “I’m surprised anyone wants to be a teacher”

              How about: it’s a good thing, so we should properly compensate people willing to do it and do it well. This is a societal problem, not a her problem.

              Btw, putting the onus on the woman is something that misogynists would do, so you’re probably not really making any kind of point anyone would agree with except for maybe misogynists

          I think it’s probably better to say: " she’s not interested in being an educator anymore. "

          You are probably right now, but I’m willing to believe that she did at one point want to be an educator, but the financials didn’t work that way. Can’t blame her.

              teaching kids online pays as much or more.

              China was desperate for proper kids teachers to teach English and everything else (as opposed to the ESL teachers, or the “generic white people whose only skill was being born in North America”).

                  Thanks for the reply. But this is not what I meant. She seems politically locked out of schools, not inable to find application forms.

                  I was thinking more along the lines of non-profits which are always looking for volunteers. She could even spearhead an advocacy group with her current influx of money and fame

            Idunno, just didn’t do the math. I’ve definitely done it before and knew that at typical safe interest rates you can live comfortably off of the interest of…. Something in the realm of 1-10 million.

              you can live comfortably off of $50k USD/yr, which at a shitty 3% interest is $1.7million.

              But that’s my point. You don’t need more than $2million. The $3mil-$10mil in your range is crazy.

              This is why we shouldn’t just eat people with over 1000 million dollars, but even 50 million is an insane amount to need.

                    Your first message to me was fine, and my response was even keeled, simply explaining why I said what I did. But then you tacked on “crazy” in your follow up, which seemed a bit unnecessary. Now you’re calling me child. Idk….
