Teacher Who Left School After OnlyFans Discovered, Fired From New Job Within Days

Brianna Coppage, a former high school English teacher from St. Clair, Missouri, found herself at the center of controversy and public discourse once again after being fired from her new job. Coppage was let go just five days into her new gig at Compass Health, a nonprofit healthcare organization.

If Brianna Coppage sounds familiar, it's because she made headlines back in October 2023. Coppage's career as an educator at St. Clair School came to an end when her OnlyFans account was discovered, leading to her resignation. The controversial headline sparked a national conversation about teachers' pay, secondary employment, and personal freedoms. Coppage, who began her OnlyFans to supplement her $42,000 annual teacher's salary, quickly found herself earning significantly more through the platform, reportedly making $1 million shortly after her story became public.

Despite the financial success, Coppage had a desire to return to a more traditional job, seeking "fulfillment and stability" outside the realm of adult entertainment. "I was a teacher doing public service, helping people and helping kids," she told the Riverfront Times, emphasizing her longing to make a positive impact in a more conventional setting.

Her recent employment at Compass Health as a community support specialist was short-lived, lasting only five days. Coppage claims she was dismissed after her colleagues discovered her OnlyFans page. She claims that she did not violate any of the company's social media policies and that her previous employer did not conduct thorough background checks before her hiring.

This situation mirrors the experiences of others in similar circumstances, where personal online activities have led to professional consequences. Coppage's case continues to raise questions about the balance between an individual's private life and professional responsibilities, and the extent to which employers can or should regulate off-duty conduct.

As Coppage looks at what's next, she may potentially explore fields like cosmetology.

Compass Health has not yet responded to inquiries regarding the situation. See the full story here via The Riverfront Times.
