Brianna Coppage, a former English teacher and cheerleading coach at St. Clair High School, says she earned nearly $1 million from the OnlyFans account that led to her leaving the school system.

Coppage was put on leave and later resigned from the school after Nexstar’s KTVI reported in September that she was using the adult content platform to boost her teaching income.

In a recent FOX News digital report, Coppage disclosed that she made almost $1 million from the account. She stated that the account was unrelated to her work duties through the school district and that she worked on it only during her personal time.

Coppage also admitted that various financial difficulties influenced her decision to make the account.

Coppage said she created the OnlyFans account to make extra money, as she had student loans and was pursuing her third degree. She had a master’s degree in education and was working on a special-ed degree.

She explained that teachers often seek higher education to increase their salary, but that also means more debt. She said money was not the only reason, but a big one.

Coppage said she was not sorry for resigning. She said people should respect each other’s choices and differences.

“I’m not here to change anyone’s mind,” said Coppage. “I just wish we could all be more tolerant and understanding. Maybe the world would be a better place.”

Coppage told FOX News that she never mentioned the account to any students. She said it was discovered by a group of adults who shared her account link in a community group.

Is it legal? Is it legal for a teacher or educator to have an OnlyFans account? Even if it’s separate from their work?

It’s not clear, but The Educator Online, an Australian education news website, discussed this topic earlier this year before Coppage resigned.

The main point: The legality of an adult content platform, like OnlyFans, depends on the laws and rules of where one lives and works.

Many school districts and educational institutions have codes of conduct that limit what kind of activities are allowed. Experts say “having an OnlyFans account may pose specific risks in regulated professions,” according to The Educator Online.

Even if the account was not seen by a student, parent, or school official, it could create safety issues for anyone associated with the educational institution, experts said.

“Schools should set their expectations when hiring and every year as part of safeguarding or code of conduct training,” Megan Kavanagh, an employment and safety lawyer, told The Educator. “Staff might be asked to disclose their social media accounts and make sure they follow the Code of Conduct or relevant social media policy.”

Another teacher at St. Clair High School was also reportedly put on leave in late October for having an OnlyFans account, and her case is still pending.
