A Missouri-based OnlyFans model, Brianna Coppage, faced a whirlwind of employment challenges when her online adult platform came to light. After resigning from her high school teaching position due to her involvement in the adult entertainment industry, Coppage landed a new job as a community support specialist at Compass Health. However, her tenure there was short-lived as her employers discovered her OnlyFans account, leading to her termination for allegedly violating the company’s social media policy.
Reflecting on her experiences, Coppage claimed she had been forthcoming about her past employment history during the hiring process. However, her new employers only conducted digital background checks after offering her the job, ultimately leading to her dismissal. Despite requests for clarification on how she violated the social media policy, Coppage received no clear answers.
This was not Coppage’s first encounter with professional repercussions due to her online endeavors. In September 2023, she faced administrative leave from her teaching position at St. Clair High School after the school district uncovered her involvement in an adult website operated with her husband. Ultimately, Coppage resigned from her teaching position, expressing a desire for peace and normalcy in the education system.
Despite the setbacks, Coppage maintained a sense of humor about her situation, jokingly soliciting new job recommendations on Instagram while clad in only her underwear. She admitted that making light of her circumstances was a coping mechanism for her.
Financially, Coppage’s venture into the adult entertainment industry proved lucrative, with her claiming to have earned over $1 million since resigning from her teaching position. She also asserted that she ranked among the top 0.01% of models on OnlyFans.
However, Coppage confessed to struggling with the lack of a traditional routine after leaving her teaching job, which took a toll on her mental health. Her story also shed light on another teacher, Megan Ganthier, who faced similar scrutiny after her own OnlyFans account was discovered by the school district. Ganthier, an English teacher and cheer coach, turned to adult content to alleviate her financial burdens, including hefty student loans.
In the face of adversity and public scrutiny, both Coppage and Ganthier navigated the complexities of professional and personal life, highlighting the challenges individuals may face when their private endeavors intersect with their public roles.
