- Megan Gaither, 31, worked as a varsity cheerleading coach and English teacher at St. Clair High School in Missouri.
- After a student left a note under her classroom door claiming to have “knew her secret,” she was sent on leave.
According to dailymail.co.uk. A second teacher at a local Missouri high school was suspended for using an OnlyFans account. She claimed that porn brings in an additional $5,000 per month, criticizing her $47,000 income.
At St. Clair High School, Megan Gaither, a 31-year-old English teacher and varsity cheerleading coach, was placed on leave after a student left a note stating they “knew her secret” beneath her classroom door.
Like her colleague Brianna Coppage, who was revealed last month, the married teacher claimed to have launched her filthy page as a means of supplementing her income after four years of employment at the high school.
Despite her best efforts to “hide very well behind an alias and no face pictures,” the teacher—who made $47,500—was exposed against her will, according to her statement. She was earning as much as $5,000 a month on OnlyFans.
She admitted to the Post-Dispatch that she started watching porn to pass the time during the holidays. “Teaching does not financially support a person,” the speaker stated.
Stretching those paychecks over the summer is incredibly difficult. It’s the reason I did it.
Gaither deleted her OnlyFans account, which had roughly 1,500 subscribers, after her fellow teaching colleague was exposed, but suspicions persisted.
Gaither made an appearance in a costume-wearing video on Coppage’s account last week following a party in the area.
However, once a picture of Gaither at the party wearing the identical outfit went viral online, people began to piece things together.
She said: ‘I was in like maybe four minutes of the entire thing, and I definitely did not think this would be the thing that would ruin my entire career.’
When a student placed a message under Megan’s classroom door implying that they “knew her secret,” things took a bad turn, she said.
Coppage and Gaither, who work in the same high school department, said that they were unaware of each other’s OnlyFans account until June, when they revealed it to each other during a teachers’ night out.
Gaither is now thinking about reactivating her OnlyFans account and leaving St. Clair with her spouse.
She added: ‘In order to make change, you have to make noise. and I think that is what Brianna did. And I think that’s what maybe I’m getting ready to do — make noise about how unfair teacher pay can be.’
Gaither also wrote on Facebook: ‘I’ve put a lot of thought into if I should say something on here publicly, and for my own peace of mind, I think I just want to say this…
‘I LOVE education and teaching, and I loved seeing my students and cheerleaders learn and grow into themselves. I’m damned good at helping them do that.
‘Hell, you don’t get 2 master’s degrees to better your craft and help your students if you don’t. So, while I understand the stigma and the ‘you signed a contract telling you how much you get paid’ argument, I will maintain that ‘morality’ is a sliding scale and what is moral to me may not be moral to you, and that’s ok.
‘Don’t like it? Don’t subscribe or follow.
‘I did NOT want this to happen. I hid very well behind an alias and no face pics. The fact of the matter is, this choice was taken from me.
‘I had multiple coworkers calling these newspapers to start my downfall here. Speculation about a pic and a vid with no evidence was fine, but if you are in education, you know… if media gets ahold of something like this, it’s over.
‘You’ll never work in this specific field again bc you’re tainted and seen as a liability for a school. Again, we knew the consequences of getting caught. I did NOT get caught in the traditional sense.
‘The media was going to publish the story with or without my statement and my words. SO, I took back my narrative. I took control of what I could take control of.
‘I had no time to make this decision, so to whoever thought it was their right to ‘out’ me to the media, with all disrespect, kindly f**k off my page, and enjoy seeing me everywhere. Bc I’m making noise.
‘I’m going to be loud and in your face about it. What adults do in their own time is their choice, and you have no right to dictate those choices for them, regardless of career choice.
‘So, I’ll be speaking to media. I’ll be telling my story. And hey. At least I didn’t try to neglect my duties of paying back what I borrowed to get educated, right? I made the adult choice of getting a side hustle. And guess what? It’s working out ok so far.’
This comes after 28-year-old Coppage stated that she was using OnlyFans to pay off her student loans and did not regret quitting teaching.
The National Education Association claims that Missouri has some of the lowest starting teacher wages in the country. Coppage, an online persona known as Brooklin Love, was a second-year teacher.
I started it primarily as a means of augmenting my income and to see what would happen, with the hope of earning additional funds. I mean, I have loans for school. I was completing my third degree program. Thus, she said to Fox News this week, “I was working on my specialist degree and I also have a master’s degree in education.”
The former teacher who is now a pornographer revealed to the network that she was put on leave in September after her school district was notified on the OnlyFans website.
Questioned about its nature and whether it ever coincided with her teaching job, she declared it to be ‘totally independent.’
Superintendent Kyle Kruse told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that after the meeting, district officials took “all possible steps to ensure confidentiality” after discovering Coppage’s page through social media posts, but Coppage was not asked to quit.
“An employee may have posted inappropriate media on one or more internet sites,” Kruse stated in a statement when she was put on leave last month.
Coppage claimed that before the news of her suspension went viral, she was making up to $10,000 a month on the OnlyFans website.
She more than quadrupled her subscription price and added more than 100 additional members to her account in the days that followed. When she was suspended, she said that she would keep up her postings on the website.
‘I do not regret joining OnlyFans. I know it can be taboo, or some people may believe that it is shameful, but I don’t think sex work has to be shameful,’ Coppage told the newspaper in September. ‘I do just wish things just happened in a different way.’
There are over 750 pupils enrolled in the high school, which is located 55 miles southwest of St. Louis.
“I don’t want the school to continue getting hate,” Coppage said to The Messenger after resigning from her position as a teacher.
“I hope that student education can resume its regular schedule,” she continued.
“They ought to have an amazing year.”
Coppage has updated her bio to include a statement to potential followers that reads, “Yes, I am THAT teacher,” but she is still unsure of who gave the tip to the school administration.
Coppage hinted in the same interview that he might have been a student who reported her to the police.
