Another Missouri High School Teacher Suspended For Peddling Porn

A few weeks ago, Brianna Coppage, a Missouri high school teacher, was suspended after the discovery of her OnlyFans account.

This week, a former colleague of hers has met the same fate.

Megan Gaither, 31, was an English teacher and varsity cheerleading coach at St. Clair High School, but she was put on leave after a student put a note under her classroom door saying they ‘knew her secret.’

The married teacher had been working at the high school for four years and said she started her raunchy page to supplement her income.

From The St. Louis Post-Dispatch:

Gaither, who was placed on administrative leave by her school district on Friday, joined the subscription-based platform to help supplement her teaching salary and to pay off her more than $125,000 in student loans.

“Teaching does not financially support a person,” Gaither told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. “It’s really hard to stretch those paychecks during the summer. That’s why I did it.”

Gaither, who joined OnlyFans in May, made around $47,500 last year including her pay for coaching cheerleading according to the Post-Dispatch. After the news created by Coppage came out, she deactivated her account.

The soon-to-be former teacher had about 1,500 subscribers and was pulling in between $3,000 to $5,000 off her content. She never showed her face in an attempt to juggle teaching and content. That worked until recently.

Rumors about Gaither began to circulate at the school last week and she says a student slipped a note under her door at school that suggested they knew about her special afterschool activities. She had appeared in a video on Coppage’s account in footage from a St. Louis hotel room.

Gaither’s face never appeared in the video, but a picture from the party that was posted publicly did. She was wearing the same costume in the video and the picture. Someone did the math and here she is trying to boost her subscriber count.

“I was in like maybe four minutes of the entire thing, and I definitely did not think this would be the thing that would ruin my entire career,” Gaither said.

With the realization that she is never going to teach again, Gaither is focused on making the best of her current situation.

“Right now, I am just hoping to make enough to support my family,” she said. “In order to make change, you have to make noise, and I think that is what Brianna did.”

Gaither added, “And I think that’s what maybe I’m getting ready to do – make noise about how unfair teacher pay can be.”

She also said she suspects activity on the website is more widespread than people realize, including among teachers.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if there are other teachers out there (in Missouri),” Gaither said. “Teachers are probably freaking out right now because two teachers from the same school, in less than a month, have been caught.”
