A high school teacher put on leave after her OnlyFans was discovered has spoken out.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Megan Gaither,\u00a0an English teacher<\/a>\u00a0and varsity cheerleading coach at St. Clair R-13 School District in\u00a0Missouri<\/a>, was placed on leave on 27 October after the school found out about her\u00a0OnlyFans account.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The 31-year-old has since defended her ‘side hustle’ and explained why she first started it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In a post to\u00a0Facebook,<\/a>\u00a0Gaither noted she’s ‘put a lot of thought’ into whether she’d speak out publicly, but for her ‘own peace of mind’ wanted to address being placed on leave.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

She says: “I LOVE education and teaching, and I loved seeing my students and\u00a0cheerleaders<\/a>\u00a0learn and grow into themselves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“I\u2019m damned good at helping them do that. Hell, you don\u2019t get two master\u2019s degrees to better your craft and help your students if you don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“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\u2019s ok. Don\u2019t like it? Don\u2019t subscribe or follow.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Gaither explains that she ‘hid very well behind an alias’ and didn’t post any ‘face pics’ on OnlyFans and ‘did NOT want’ her side hustle to become public knowledge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Unfortunately, she says that ‘choice was taken from’ her, claiming ‘multiple coworkers’ called newspapers to ‘start [her] downfall’.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“Speculation about a pic and a vid with no evidence was fine, but if you are in education, you know\u2026 if media gets ahold of something like this, it\u2019s over. You\u2019ll never work in this specific field again bc you\u2019re tainted and seen as a liability for a school,” she continues.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But why did she risk starting an OnlyFans in the first place?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Well, Gaither told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that she first started OnlyFans because ‘teaching does not financially support a person’ and she has\u00a0over $125,000<\/a>\u00a0in student loans to pack back.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The outlet also reports Gaither’s pay as a teacher was around $47,500.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The English teacher said: “It\u2019s really hard to stretch those paychecks during the summer. That\u2019s why I did it [OnlyFans].”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Gaither says she made between $3,000 and $5,000 a month from her side hustle – before she took her account down that is,\u00a0when a fellow teacher was placed on leave for a similar reason.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Fellow English teacher, Brianna Coppage, was also placed on leave for selling explicit content\u00a0online<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Gaither notes they both ‘knew the consequences of getting caught’ but argues she ‘did NOT get caught in the traditional sense’.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“The media was going to publish the story with or without my statement and my words. SO, I took back my narrative.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“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\u2019m making noise,” Gaither says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The English teacher resolves: “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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“So, I\u2019ll be speaking to media. I\u2019ll be telling my story. And hey. At least I didn\u2019t 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\u2019s working out ok so far.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The school’s superintendent, Kyle Kruse, told Post-Dispatch that ‘district does not have a statement to issue at this time’.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
