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.

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.

If what she is doing in her own time is against school policies, they better be paying her for that time too.

[-] TurtleJoe@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago

US society sees a woman using her own body to make a bunch of money, and wants to cancel her. It's not necessarily about being sexual, although that's part of it.

While I agree with this, it's a subset of the wider issue which is why does your boss get to care what you do when you are not there doing what they have paid you to do.

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

[-] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 133 points 1 year ago

I think she's just doing this for free promotion. Every article that's written about her she probably gets tons of new subscribers.

[-] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 60 points 1 year ago

Yup, work the system for all it's worth. The damage to the reputation is long done, so bleed it dry.

[-] Manos@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Cossty@lemmy.world 68 points 1 year ago

I mean.... for that salary and the work you must do, I am surprised anyone is interested in being a teacher.

Or maybe she's falling back on her only option after she had to quit and got fired.

[-] jj4211@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

she’s not interested in being an educator.

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.

“Not having to get up and go to a 9-to-5 has been tough on my mental health,” Coppage said.

Sounds insane to me, but whatever, different strokes for different folks.

[-] exscape@kbin.social 49 points 1 year ago

Most people need something to do. Being free all the time is rarely good for mental health.

Her skill was teaching kids, probably wanted to keep doing that for fulfillment despite the poor pay. But they wouldn’t let her.

Because maybe they actually love being a teacher?

[-] anarchrist@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 1 year ago

Sorry you cannot be a teacher unless you're poor. That's why the pay is shit.

[-] ji59@kbin.social 97 points 1 year ago

They claim that I violated their social media policy, but will not respond to me with how I violated it.

WTH is social media policy? Is it written somewhere that employees can't have OF? (And also who found her on OF and snitch on her?)

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.

It's insane that this is just possible. That labour rights are so terrible you can just fire someone directly after employing them when they clearly stated what they are and were doing.

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

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.

So my initial reaction was I wouldn't want that teacher. Then I actually thought about it try to find valid arguments for my position and I found none. So here's my opinion.

There are two main issues here:

  1. Teachers are payed way too little for the work that they do;
  2. Sex (talk, work, etc.) still has a stigma associated with it.

This whole situation is a symptom of that. I still think an employer has the right to choose the employees just as I get to choose my social circle. I wouldn't want to be associated with Nazis or KKK. Similar reasoning can be applied to employers.

Now is this situatios fair? Abslosutely no. Should this outcome be expected? Saldy, yes. Until there's a major economic and societal shift in values, these things are to be expected and will happen again.
