In a surprising turn of events, former Missouri high school teacher Brianna Coppage, 28, who was placed on leave after her OnlyFans account was discovered by district officials, has made a life-altering decision. Coppage has chosen to embrace her career in the adult entertainment industry full-time, resigning from her teaching position to allow her students’ lives to return to normalcy.
In an interview with The Messenger News, Coppage expressed her desire for the school to no longer face scrutiny, stating, “I don’t want the school to continue getting hate. I would like the education of students to be able to return to normal; they deserve to have a great year.”
Her double life as an English teacher at St. Clair High School came to light when district officials stumbled upon her OnlyFans account. Coppage acknowledged that students should never have been exposed to this facet of her life and believes that if it weren’t for an adult reporting it, the students might have remained unaware.
She also revealed that she has her suspicions about who tipped off district officials but expressed her readiness to move forward without engaging in a legal battle with the school district.
Following her resignation, Coppage is now fully immersing herself in her career in adult entertainment, boldly embracing her OnlyFans persona with the tagline, “Yes, I’m THAT teacher.”
Embracing her newfound visibility, Coppage shared that her face and name being “plastered all around the world” has significantly expanded her following, leading to an outpouring of support on the platform.
Addressing her decision to join OnlyFans, Coppage emphasized the financial motivation, as she sought to supplement her $42,000 teacher salary and address her student loans from her master’s degree. Last year, her OnlyFans account contributed an additional $8,000 per month to her earnings.
Reflecting on the controversy, Coppage acknowledged the societal expectations placed on teachers as moral guides, but stressed that she focused solely on teaching the curriculum without imposing her personal beliefs on her students. She reiterated her belief that she has not engaged in any illegal activities and emphasized her role as a responsible friend and family member.
Despite the unconventional career shift, Coppage expressed no regrets about joining OnlyFans and advocated for destigmatizing sex work, asserting that it need not be perceived as shameful. She expressed a desire for a different path to unfold, recognizing that perceptions can vary widely, but ultimately stands by her choices.
