Missouri Teacher Resigns to End Controversy Over OnlyFans Account
A Missouri high school teacher, Brianna Coppage, who faced backlash and controversy after her side gig on OnlyFans came to light, has decided to resign from her teaching position. Coppage, 28, taught English at St. Clair High School, and she made this choice to help her students get back to their normal school lives.
In a recent interview, Coppage expressed her desire for the school to stop receiving negative attention, stating, “I don’t want the school to continue getting hate. I would like the education of students to be able to return to normal; they deserve to have a great year.”
The Controversy Unveiled
Brianna Coppage’s double life as a teacher and an adult content creator was revealed when district officials discovered her OnlyFans account. She acknowledged the inappropriateness of students being exposed to her content, and she believes that if an adult hadn’t discovered it and reported it, the students might never have known about it.
Coppage explained her decision to resign, saying, “I knew that nothing was ever going to be the same if I went back.” She also mentioned that she has an idea of who might have informed the school district about her side job but added, “I don’t want to fight the school district; I’m just ready for peace.”
A New Career Path
After officially leaving her teaching position, Coppage is now focusing on her career in adult content creation. Her OnlyFans profile now bears the slogan, “Yes, I’m THAT teacher.” She revealed that having her face and name widely known has boosted her following and received significant support.
Financial Motivation
Coppage initially turned to OnlyFans to supplement her $42,000 teacher’s salary. She explained that her decision was financially driven, aimed at helping with student loans from her master’s degree and improving her financial situation. Her OnlyFans earnings added approximately $8,000 per month to her yearly income.
Addressing the Expectations
Despite the controversy, Coppage believes that teachers should be moral guides for their students. She emphasized that she focused on teaching the curriculum and didn’t impose her thoughts or beliefs on her students. She also stressed that her actions are not illegal and that she is a good friend and family member. She acknowledged the stigma surrounding sex work but does not see it as something to be ashamed of.
Looking Ahead
While Coppage does not regret her decision to join OnlyFans, she wishes things had unfolded differently. The controversy has caused a significant shift in her life, and she is now focused on her new career path.
Fox News Digital reached out to both Coppage and the school district for comments, but there have been no responses as of yet.
