Former teacher says OnlyFans account started to help with low teaching salary, student loans

Coppage said she started the OnlyFans account to help offset the low pay from her teaching job, and help pay her student loans. Fox News reported her teaching salary to be $42,000 a year from the school district.

Coppage was placed on leave in September when the district was made aware that an employee, "may have posted inappropriate media on one or more internet sites," according to a statement from Saint Clair R-XIII School District Superintendent Kyle Kruse at the time.

Coppage resigned after a link to her OnlyFans profile appeared on a St. Clair Facebook group, and claims that the district's rules did not explicitly ban her from posting on the site.

“Our handbook policies are very vague and just say something about represent yourself well,” Coppage said. “Did I violate that? I feel like that’s a matter of opinion.”
