A second teacher at a high school in Missouri was put on leave after administrators discovered her OnlyFans side hustle.

Megan Gaither, 31, said during an interview with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that she was placed on leave from her English teaching and varsity cheerleading coach position on Oct. 27 after district officials found out about her account on the OnlyFans platform.

My wife was a teacher. I've seen what teachers get paid and what they need to pay for (supplies for their room that are essential but that the districts refuse to pay for). It's actually very likely that this teacher was barely scraping by on her teacher salary.

Edit: From the article:

According to the report, Gaither's pay, which includes a stipend for coaching the school's cheerleading squad, was around $47,500.

The article also mentions that she had $125,000 in student loans. She wasn't living a life of luxury on that salary. Opening an OnlyFans was a means of making ends meet.
