Brianna Coppage said she made $1 million on the platform, which she was using to supplement her teaching salary.

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.

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

      She already has the equipment for it too.

      If she gets financially stable from OnlyFans, she can probably find a way teach. There’s no need to rot just because your time is free.

          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

          One can dream
