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.

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 59 points 8 months ago

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

[-] EnderMB@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

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.

“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 41 points 8 months ago

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

I'm pretty sure my mates mum would die if she ever stopped working, she recently had to slow it down and give up one of her 10 jobs.

[-] SoleInvictus@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

... different strokes for different folks.

According to her videos, she has mastered several different strokes.

[-] Wanderer@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

I have no idea how people like this exist.

If it's your own business or hobby then cool. But people out there feel the need to do some sort of basic job is crazy to me.

[-] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee -1 points 8 months ago

It's about structure and routine. A lot of people hospitalized for psych report issues with too much free time. And for a lot of people one of their only protective factors is a stable and satisfying professional life

[-] em2@lemmy.ml 25 points 8 months ago

Income isn't stable and isn't enough to be considered fuck you money.

[-] NightAuthor@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

A million in 6 months, I think if she could keep up near that for a couple of years, she could invest in something safe and live off of the gains.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

if she could keep up near that for a couple of years

Which part of "not stable" did you not understand?

[-] NightAuthor@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago

What part of “if” and “near” and “a couple of years” did you not understand.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

That's a mountain-sized if pretending to be hamster-sized.

[-] ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

why would you need more than a couple million?

7% of $2mill is $140,000 dollars a year, and anything you don't spend just makes you more money.

it's plenty enough to be "fu" money, though.

[-] strongarm@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 8 months ago

Because maybe they actually love being a teacher?

[-] anarchrist@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 8 months ago

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