Quick Summary

Sheena Sittner, a Missouri substitute teacher, lost her job after having an OnlyFans account discovered by someone who did extensive online searching. She had maintained the account privately for two years as additional income since teaching paid insufficiently. Sittner claims that while she knew her content could jeopardize her teaching career, she was unaware it would affect her ability to volunteer at her son’s school. Kelly Education, which contracted her, warned of potential termination and restricted professional contact with schools but clarified this does not impede parental involvement in their children's education.

Story summary

Sheena Sittner, a 42-year-old substitute teacher from Ballwin, Missouri, lost her job after Kelly Education, the staffing company that placed her in schools through the St. Louis County area, discovered she had been running an OnlyFans account for over two years to supplement her income. Despite knowing the risks of maintaining such an online presence while employed as a teacher, Sittner felt compelled to create the account due to insufficient pay. The discovery led to Kelly Education suspending and threatening to terminate her employment, instructing her not to contact any school districts. This situation has sparked debate over whether educators should be penalized for extracurricular income-generating activities if they do not interfere with their professional duties or safety of students.
