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.
Imagine if we just paid teachers better so that they didn’t sometimes resort to this to make ends meet. Nah, let’s persecute the poor teacher instead!
this is america, doing anything else is communism!
The average teacher was in the bottom 20% of their class. It seems like we need to incentivize higher skilled people to teach. Pay is just part of it.
It’s hard to spend years getting a master’s degree and then to go work on a teacher’s salary. But then to be a professor, it’s another 6-8 years above and beyond a master’s to get a PhD (during which you’re making jack shit and aren’t allowed to work off campus). On top of that, higher ed is apparently ridiculously competitive and an insane amount of thankless long hours for a slightly higher shit salary than high school teachers. The whole culture around and within education needs changing. A lot of changing. It’s so disappointing.
Someone gets naked so everyone loses their minds.
People shoot up schools: thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers…
Religion is insanity.
To be fair I doubt a teacher that shoots up a school would be allowed to keep their job either, but these days who knows.
Imagine giving a shit if someone makes porn in their free time.
Somebody’s gotta do it! 😁
I had a home ec teacher that was found out to do playboy spreads. As a young teenager I did not care. My parents did not care(they were hippies). Who cared the most were dumbass older teenage boys for some reason writing her porn name on the chalkboard before she came in one day. It was like they were angry at her for turning them on. That’s when I realized men’s sex education and support for processing complex thought and feelings around relationships and sex is abysmal.
As a young teenager I did not care.
Were you a young teenage girl? Because you seem to completely lack understanding of teenage boys’ psychology. There’s absolutely no reason they would be angry at her for making them horny. That makes no sense at all.
I would agree with your other replier on this. Furthering that, I would say this is the teenage boys’ attempt to challenge authority by undermining her authority with her open sexuality as a tool. They found a leverage to have power over her. And they’re going to use it to the full extent. They’re at a point in time of their growth where they find their social hierarchy. Almost every male mammal engages in this. They pick fights and they learn where they stand by winning and losing. And they want to get as high as possible. This explains the anger that you pointed out, because challenging authority and fighting is inherently similar emotion to anger.
Because you seem to completely lack understanding of teenage boys’ psychology. There’s absolutely no reason they would be angry at her for making them horny. That makes no sense at all.
Ah. I see you are one of those types of bigots.
As you surely didn’t forget a whole array of other non binary genders some of which actually get beaten to death for ‘turning straight men on.’
Also some cultures will stone women for ‘turning men on enough to rape them’. That has nothing to do with ‘challenging authority’ in fact it’s gross you even compare it to that. It’s all about attacking vulnerable.
Probably not a popular take but I can at least understand it from the perspective of it just being easier to put her on paid leave than to play whackamole punishing every kid who starts bullying her or disrespecting her because stupid teenagers.
It’s the dumbfuck no tolerance logic that inadvertently encourages kids to respond to being bullied by pulling a knife since they gettin’ punished either way for being in a fight, but it does make the twisted kind of sense you can expect from admins who hate nothing more than doing their jobs instead of sitting at their desk playing minesweeper all day.
Perpetuating the stigma isn’t going to help either. Kids take their cues from adults.
Humans are social creatures. We are affected direct and indirectly by other people whether you like it or not (unless you want to become a hikikomori).
The fact that other people give a shit about about someone making porn in their free time, should make you give a shit. This is irrelevant to whether you think they should give a shit or not. Your lack of ability to give a shit signals your lack of foresight into how this affects your life as well as lack of social skills. If she wants to be an OF model, and therefore chooses to do OF content, that’s fine. If she wants to be a teacher and thinks she can do OF without consequence, she’s stupid.
L take and completely wrong. Fuck people for not only judging for something harmless, but also for directly impacting her life because of it when she didn’t impact anyone else’s.
What part am I wrong about? Her OF account has clearly affected her job as a teacher. The evidence of what I said is right there. You’re in denial of facts of what has already occurred. If she didn’t see this coming, she’s stupid.
I don’t care if you think people shouldn’t be judgmental. You’re being judgement of me right now. And I am of you right now. People always are, always have been and always will. That’s how humans work. Your denial or calling it out as bad is irrelevant in your ability to plan for the future.
Edit: Let me be clear. I am not defending the judgmental. I am pointing out the lack of social understanding.
In that same vain then, I shouldn’t dress “slutty” in public otherwise I’m just asking to get raped right? Get fucked.
Because you couldn’t point out what was wrong, you decided to take a strawman? No, that is not the same vain. The logic isn’t consistent.
It would be: If she doesn’t want to get raped, she should take precautions based on the risks involved.
If this teacher doesn’t want to be fired, she should understand that there are risks that follow her actions.
If I follow your logic, the statement of the teacher would become:
She must’ve wanted to get fired, so she did OF. No, the predicate the consequences are backwards.
Being stupid is not a defense. And your argument is illogical.
Imagine being a horny 16 year old and finding out your hot teacher posts nudes online…
I feel like I missed out on seminal moment in my childhood because all my teachers were like 50 years old. Where was my hot English teacher? All I got was an old bat who hated children and didn’t bother to hide it.
How do those “officials” find these OF accounts? 🤔
I mean she did use her real first and last name on the account? Not exactly intense detective work.
That implies they’re specifically searching for their female teachers on onlyfans like horny 14 year olds.
Or the horny 14 year olds found her account and, being 14, didn’t keep it to themselves.
Why would they tell these “officials” lol? The next question would be “you didn’t masturbate did you?”
They don’t need to say it directly, kids are dumb and gossip in earshot of other teachers.
But but but, what are those “officials” doing on OF if they think it’s “bad”?
How did they discover the page? I’m curious about this.
Gaither said in the interview that she made an account on the direct-to-subscribers website because she has over $125,000 in student loans and needed the extra income.
“Teaching does not financially support a person,” Gaither said. “It’s really hard to stretch those paychecks during the summer. That’s why I did it.”
According to the report, Gaither’s pay, which includes a stipend for coaching the school’s cheerleading squad, was around $47,500.
When Gaither took the account down, she claimed to have had around 1,500 subscribers and was bringing in an extra $3,000 to $5,000 per month.
47,5/12= ~3.96k per month
With an onlyfan page, she made more than the teaching job. The issue isn’t her onlyfan page. It’s the paycheck at the end of the month. They must pay more. Supervisors also have to stop going on onlyfan for other thing than work. I don’t believe they discovered it by chance.
Onlyfan is one of the symptoms of low income not a problem.
She’s a high school teacher. I’m gonna guess the students figured it out first.
I’m in the “her life her business” camp, but I can at least see how that could be a problem given teachers like Mary Kay (I can’t spell her last name, the blonde that seduced the 6th grader) but I’m also in the camp of: “parents it’s your responsibility to police your kids” if the parents are concerned about their kids seeing nudity

At 12, you are still developing and cannot give consent to an adult for something like that. The fact that he said it was fine as an adult is irrelevant and is why the term grooming exists. (By the way, he said during their separation that he realized it was never a healthy relationship.)

This is DISGUSTING. Someone please post her handle or website so I can avoid it.
Damn I accidentally bookmarked this. Shoot
34DDD 5’4 160lbs 😳
Probably not smart to use your real full name for this as a teacher
Or it is, because once you get expelled from teaching and your name is making headlines, you can rake in the $$$ from all the free advertising
I think this is the reposting of her site, like she had it another way but her name is out there so might as well use it now
Speculation about Gaither’s involvement on the platform began in mid-October when she was seen in a video posted on Coppage’s account. While the video didn’t include Gaither’s face, it was recorded at a party, and she was seen in a public picture wearing the same costume that was worn in the video posted on OnlyFans, according to the report.
So are we not going to call into question the “professionalism” of whoever found this video? Or did someone just accidentally make their way to onlyfans and pay to access her content. 🙄
Don’t imagine they knew who it was before paying for it, seeing as the only way to see who it was is to pay for it first. To be fair I’d be surprised and uncomfortable if I knew my kid had a teacher who they could find videos of her spread eagle naked whenever they wanted. If the sexes were reversed and it was a male porn star who was teaching children there would be a national uproar. I don’t have anything against sex work but some jobs just don’t really mesh together too well, this is one such situation. The obvious solution is just to pay our fucking teachers more so they don’t have to get second jobs to live but people would rather just yell at her like she’s doing this for shits and giggles because that’s easier than addressing the root problem.
Ridiculous that we “cant find” the money to pay the people educating the next generation more than this women is/will be making this year from posting photos and videos of herself online. Reveals a number of priorities that are out of line.
Yeah agree entirely. And we’ll pay it for as the years go on. I really don’t understand how investing in the future of our country is somehow a partisanship issue. I guess republicans just love inflicting misery more than their so called “patriotism”.
Maybe they should pay the teachers then.
Horny parents outraged that their obsession is also teaching their kids.
“She’s on OnlyFans!”
How do you know?
“Uh…”
Plus 125k in student loans and ~50k salary? What the fuck else is she supposed to do?
Lmao, ok here me out.
I think, maybe, just maybe, that some horny teens at the school figured it out and told. Just a bold theory.
Not a theory, the article says a student slipped a note under her door saying “We know your secret”.
I don’t know how to feel about this tbh.
I don’t have an issue with someone doing OnlyFans, and obviously teachers are ridiculously underpaid.
But I still don’t think it’s alright for someone teaching kids to have OF as a side job, especially once it’s something the kids are aware of.
Make better financial decisions?
Lol. Feeling called out, are we?
Lol, memers these days.
Maybe someday people will solve your problems for you.
Just keep waiting and doing what you’re doing.
Gonna block you in the meantime.
This is the only reaction people will have when the article drops about her getting fired. Then she gets more viewers, and probably makes more than she ever would have as a teacher.
This is ridiculous. What she does on OnlyFans has absolutely nothing to do with her performance as a teacher and it is disgusting that teachers that we desperately need are not only getting fired for being forced to do outside work to afford to be able to live and also buy supplies for their own classrooms but that they’re getting excoriated for it.
Whatever she does or any teacher do after work is non of any body’s problems. If any teacher wants to show their bodies on the web… Let it be. I don’t see any issues with it. We have many problems around the world and out of nowhere this is an issue???
For someone in that position, it is a problem, though. If students get around to seeing their teacher naked or engaged in sexual acts, that becomes an issue. If it were 100% guaranteeable that that couldn’t happen, then you’d be right, but with it on the internet, that’s just not ever going to be a foolproof thing.
What’s the difference between it being their teacher and the millions of other naked women they can see on the internet?
Because the millions of other people (this isn’t a gender thing) aren’t responsible for those minors. It’s also not just finding “naked people on the internet”. Onlyfans’ whole objective is to profit off of parasocial relationships. Models are directly engaging with their customers, and in a situation where a teacher ends up willingly or otherwise selling sex media to their student, obvious problems arise.
Damn, if the kids are signing up for OnlyFans, maybe their parents are the responsible ones for not monitoring their Internet usage?
That problem would probably get a lot less acute if you guys over there finally started to pay decent wages to teachers
