Former Missouri Teacher Resigns Amidst OnlyFans Controversy, Earns Nearly $1 Million in Adult Content Career
In a story that made headlines, a former Missouri teacher, Brianna Coppage, decided to step away from her teaching position at St. Clair High School, located an hour outside of St. Louis. Why, you ask? Well, it turns out she had a not-so-secret side job on OnlyFans, and it was making her some serious cash.
Coppage, who was just 28 years old at the time, was a dedicated English teacher. However, things took an unexpected turn when school administrators uncovered her rather racy online endeavor. In the end, she chose to resign.
Now, let’s dive into the details. Coppage, with her teaching job that paid her around $42,000, started her OnlyFans account to earn extra money and tackle her mounting student loans. She was pursuing her third degree at the time, including a master’s degree in education and a specialist degree.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Coppage explained, “I started it, one, to just supplement my income and kind of see what happens and possibly make extra money. Like, I have student loans. I was working on my third degree.”
It all began when she was placed on leave in September. She met with two school administrators after reports about her OnlyFans activities reached them. They were concerned about her having additional sources of income. Coppage shared the whole truth with them.
“They specifically said they got a report from an adult in the Sullivan School District, and they asked, do I have any other income streams like outside of teaching? And I said, ‘Yes, I do have an OnlyFans.’ They asked how long I had been doing it, if it was during my own time or … anything at school, which I told them.”
However, Coppage was firm in her stance that her OnlyFans work was entirely separate from her role as a teacher.
Superintendent Kyle Kruse of the school district stated that administrators were made aware of “inappropriate media” posted by an employee on various internet sites. A comprehensive investigation was initiated, and actions would be taken following legal guidance.
Despite the controversy, Coppage disclosed that she is now one of the top creators on OnlyFans and has earned almost $1 million since starting her account during the summer.
“I will also say that I have tens of thousands of fans now. And I have, you know, far exceeded my teacher salary for the year,” she shared.
In Coppage’s own words, she doesn’t regret her decision. She firmly believes that people are entitled to personal lives separate from their careers. She addressed concerns about students finding her content online, clarifying that it wasn’t students who discovered it or reported it. Instead, adults in a community group posted her link.
This story unfolded without the usual drama or moral panic that often accompanies such tales, and it raised questions about the intersection of personal lives and professional careers in the digital age. It’s a reminder that people can have more than one dimension to their lives, even if they teach English by day and engage in a very different line of work by night.
