A Missouri high school teacher says she has been placed on leave after officials discovered that she was performing on a pornography website to supplement her salary.

Brianna Coppage, 28, who taught English at St. Clair High School, says her teaching days are probably over, but she acknowledged she knew the risks.

Coppage told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that she was put on leave on Wednesday after being interviewed by two administrators. Her access to school email and other software was suspended while the district investigates, she said.

“It was kind of always like this cloud hanging over my head, like I never knew when I would be discovered,” Coppage said in an interview. “Then, about two weeks ago, my husband and I were told that people were finding out about it. So I knew this day was coming.”

Jfc. I do my best to avoid porn and everything, but who fucking cares? Fucked up priorities.

[–] Soundhole@lemm.ee 35 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

On the one hand, I strongly agree with you. But when I think about it, she was teaching high school kids who would 100% get access to her videos. That just doesn't seem like a healthy situation for anyone involved. She sounds in the article like she accepts that she needs to do one or the other.

$42,000/year for a full time teacher is the real story here. That's outrageous.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Eh, deal with it. I'd rather have a moonlighting teacher than an unqualified one. At least this teacher was smart enough to not settle for $42k/year.

[–] Puzzle_Sluts_4Ever@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Who gives a shit if kids find out? If anything, it is a good lesson that teachers are human beings.

If you can't take someone seriously because you know they fuck? That is a you problem.

[–] miversen33@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lol as a teenager who had an attractive teacher for a class, I don't know if you understand what they're saying.

Teenagers are kids. Kids are, by their very nature, stupid. If they know said teacher is actively publishing content to an OF, they are absolutely going to find said content. It's just a whole mess for all parties involved.

Adults should absolutely be able to live their lives, but accept that kids are kids and kids do stupid shit.

Again, so what?

In High School, Ms Sell the british lit teacher was the "hot teacher". She talked about being a cheerleader in college and you can bet there were some of us who rubbed more than a few out imagining her in a cheerleader costume. And there was the really creepy and pathetic kid who cut up his yearbook and taped her face to a printout of a porn star he found online and pretended it was real... which was actually a good "holy shit some people are creepy fucks" realization in high school. It is a REAL learning moment to realize that, as awkward and pathetic as you are for jacking it with hand lotion in the bathroom while imagining your english teacher, you could be a LOT creepier.

So what? End of the day, she was the english teacher and (unlike one of the social studies teachers...) was not going to fuck students. End of story. Horny kids gonna be horny. But learning to interact with people is part of growing up.

Also, if the kid who taped her face to a printout was creepy, imagine the horror that is the deepfake present.


As for getting access to the content: If she were doing live chaturbate shows I would have more concerns. But this was a private OF account and it sounds like people never realized she was doing it until she did a collab with someone with a wider audience. And checking a few of the porn sites: The only uploads are specifically under her legal name with none under her OF name alone and are likely a result of this scandal. I would still have worn a mask if I were her and her husband but... whatever.


Also, getting back to Ms Sell: She had a kid junior year. I will always remember Ting frantically running up to a few of us at lunch and saying "Ms Sell is pregnant! That means she had sex!!!" and, before we could say "no shit?", Phil said "Why?" and we still mock him for that when we get together over a decade later.

So... are teachers also required to not get pregnant for fear of overstimulating the children?

What a small world. My social studies teacher was also banging a student. Did yours also end up in jail?

Not as far as I know. Woman banging boys so "cool" rather than "what the fucking shit? Call Chris Hansen!"

[–] Resolved3874@lemdro.id 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

On the surface I agree but these are teenagers. What do you think the chances are of one of them subbing to her account and requesting her to make custom videos for them 😂 I would say pretty damn high. Hell it's still probably going to happen but at least the kids won't be sitting in class while watching videos of their teacher getting fucked.

[–] Puzzle_Sluts_4Ever@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Considering they would be using their parents' credit cards for this: Pretty low actually.

[–] theUnlikely@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lots of high schoolers have jobs and bank accounts with debit cards starting at 16.

[–] Puzzle_Sluts_4Ever@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

From googling:

  1. It is unclear if OnlyFans actually accepts debit cards. Some verbiage says yes but people don't realize they have a credit card instead of a debit. Others say no but there is no difference between a cc/dc. I assume there is a regional discrepancy there since I know europe loves debit cards. I also suspect it has more to do with the backend (? visa, mastercard, the other ones) than anything else since there is a constant war against sex workers in that regard.
  2. At least in the US, the vast majority (I want to say "all" but) bank accounts and debit/credit cards require a parent to co-sign if you aren't 18. I have no idea how that manfiests as providing credit card info to a website but it does mean the parents have access to the statement and will see the porn charges.
[–] theUnlikely@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Interesting. It's been quite a while since I was that age, so I don't really remember needing a parental co-signer. One more thing, supposedly prepaid visa cards work so there's always that.

[–] Astroturfed@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Have you ever been around highschool kids?... They're definitely going to make it a problem if they find out.

[–] blazera@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Why the hell would they get access to her videos?

[–] clegko@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They're horny teens with a hot teacher. 100000% a teen dream for most that age who are into ladies.

[–] blazera@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They can be horny all they want, it wont conjure a link to a specific person you dont even know has done any porn.

[–] clegko@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

No, but you can bet their asses they're looking for the link to their old teacher's OF now.

There are sites that scrape and republish OF and the like. Less likely if they aren't doing public streams, but if someone puts up a bounty, it will likely show up.

But mostly this is just the ongoing "porn is the greatest threat to society" bullshit that tate-esque incels love spewing these days.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I agree. She can't continue teaching high school or probably even middle school boys once this comes out. She'd probably be fine teaching elementary age kids. There'd be a lot more dads attending parent-teacher conferences so it might even be a positive thing.

[–] Rakonat@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Why not? We need to stop treating sex workers like they are subhuman. The fact that parents aren't monitoring their childrens internet behavior isn't a reason to limit another person's career prospects if they chose to monetize their bodies past or present.

As long as the teacher in question isn't advertising her pornographic career or material to her students then why can't she continue to teach and earn money on the side as long as she's not bringing it into the classroom?
