Missouri English teacher resigns, embraces porn career on OnlyFans: 'I'm THAT teacher'

A high school teacher in Missouri who was previously placed on leave after school officials discovered that she had an OnlyFans account has now resigned from her teaching post and has embraced a full-time career in pornography.

Brianna Coppage, 28, said that the reason why she turned to OnlyFans is because she wanted the lives of her students to return to normal. She went on to say that she does not want the school she taught at to continue to receive "hate," adding that her former students "deserve to have a great year," per The Messenger.

Coppage, who taught English at St. Clair High School, was discovered to have an OnlyFans account by district officials. However, it is uncertain who first discovered that she had an account.

"Never do I think that students or children should have been exposed to this, and I truly believe had an adult not found it, and I was told that an adult is who reported it, students never would have known," Coppage said.

"I knew that nothing was ever going to be the same if I went back."

Fox News reported that the English teacher had suspicions about who it may have been who ratted her out, but she did not reveal the identity of the person.

"I don't want to fight the school district. I'm just ready for peace," she said.

It appears that Coppage has fully embraced her online pornography persona on OnlyFans, with her biography on the site reading, "Yes I'm THAT teacher."

She went on to say that the immense attention she has received since being put on leave has helped grow her following on the site, saying "I've gotten a lot of support on the site, so that's definitely encouraging."

Coppage apparently decided to turn toward the pornographic side of things to support her $42,000 salary from teaching, noting that it was the financial component that motivated her to start creating adult-oriented content. She also said that the money has been able to help her pay for student loans she accumulated while she was getting her master's degree.

The Messenger reported that the OnlyFans side hustle has managed to provide Coppage with about $8,000 per month, on average.

"There is this expectation that teachers should be the moral leaders of students, and I do not disagree with that," Coppage told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch last month.

"I taught the curriculum. I taught students reading and writing, and I didn’t guide them on my thoughts or beliefs. … And I can’t control what people think of me. I just know that who I am as a person, I’m not doing anything illegal. I am a good friend. I am a good family member. That is all I can think about right now."

"I do not regret joining OnlyFans. I know it can be taboo, or some people may believe that it is shameful, but I don’t think sex work has to be shameful," she added. "I do just wish things just happened in a different way."
