Another teacher at a Missouri high school was placed on leave after administrators found out she was selling content on OnlyFans, according to a report.

A second teacher at a high school in Missouri was put on leave after administrators discovered her OnlyFans side hustle.

Megan Gaither, 31, said during an interview with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that she was placed on leave from her English teaching and varsity cheerleading coach position on Oct. 27 after district officials found out about her account on the OnlyFans platform.

    Having the OF account isn’t just any old characteristic here. It’s the crux of it all. The likelihood of a student buying content from the teacher is not particularly low, and that’s just not an acceptable situation from someone in that position.

    I’m not saying it’s her responsibility or anyone else’s to avoid being harassed, but it’s an inevitable issue among many that would be piling up atop the already unacceptable scenario given above, all adding pressure in favor of the school understandably deciding to just cut ties.

      To play devils advocate, I’m guessing only like the top 5% or more can actually make a living off of OF work, so chances are that a good share of the content people are consuming is going to be someones co-worker/boss/HR rep/etc. Who decides who is and who isn’t allowed to have an OF account? It seems perfectly fine for all these kids/parents/co-workers to have an account to view creators, but it’s the problem of the content creators if these same people can’t treat them like humans after viewing content they sought out.

      If she was giving out discount codes, or free memberships to co-workers or students that would be one thing, but to regulate something that harms no one that a teacher does in their off hours to get by because we can’t pay teachers seems like a violation of their rights.
