TEACHER FIRED FOR ONLYFANS: Missouri Sub Loses Job for Adult Content to Pay Bills

A Missouri substitute teacher was terminated after the school district discovered she maintained an OnlyFans account to supplement her income. The educator had turned to the subscription platform—where creators earn money by posting content behind a paywall—to cover basic expenses, a financial pressure many substitute teachers face given their typically low hourly wages and lack of benefits. Her firing raises questions about the boundaries between teachers' private lives and employment, particularly as gig economy platforms become more common sources of supplemental income for workers in underpaid roles.
