Megan Gaither is a former English teacher and varsity cheerleading coach at St. Clair High School in Missouri, who was placed on administrative leave last week after it was revealed that she had an OnlyFans account and appeared in a video with another suspended teacher, Brianna Coppage. The video, which was filmed in a hotel room after a party, showed the two women engaging in explicit sexual acts. Gaither said that she did not show her face in the video, but people were able to identify her by her costume.
The backlash
Gaither said that since she was outed, she has faced backlash from the community and fears she will be fired from her job. She said that she has been slut-shamed, ostracized at work, and had no support from her colleagues or the school district. She also said that some of her students may have seen the video, which would make it awkward for her to return to the classroom.
Gaither said that she opened an OnlyFans account to supplement her income as a teacher, as she had more than $125,000 in student loans. She said that she earned about $12,000 from the site in a few months, and almost a fourth of her annual salary from the video with Coppage. She said that she did not violate any contract or morality clause by doing so, and that she loves teaching and wants to resume her career.
The comparison
Gaither’s case is similar to that of Coppage, who also taught English at St. Clair High School and had an OnlyFans account with her husband. Coppage was suspended from her job last month after the district officials found out about her online activities. Coppage decided to quit her teaching position and focus on OnlyFans, where she claims to have earned $1 million in the month since leaving.
Coppage said that she felt it would be inappropriate to return to teaching after students had possibly seen her explicit content. She also said that she did not sign a contract stating that she would not do something like this, and that she did not regret her decision.
The conclusion
Megan Gaither is not dead, but her career as a teacher may be in jeopardy. She is currently on leave pending an investigation by the school district, which will determine whether she can keep her job or not. Gaither said that she hopes to return to teaching, despite the controversy and the potential embarrassment. She said that she did not do anything wrong, and that she was just trying to make ends meet. She also said that she enjoys teaching and has a good relationship with her students. However, some people may disagree with her actions and question her suitability as a role model for young people.
