Sheena Sittner, a substitute teacher near St. Louis, Missouri, says she made nearly $25,000 (about £18,900) on OnlyFans in about a week and a half. She says the news of her suspension drove sales. She said on St. Louis radio that her subscribers rose from about 20 to perhaps more than 1,000.

Sittner, 42, earned about $140 (about £106) a day in the classroom. Her $25,000 equals roughly 179 days of that pay. Emails she shared show that Kelly Education, which placed her in Parkway School District classrooms, suspended her in September, pending termination.

How a Suspension Turned Into a Windfall

A manager at the agency cited reports of her OnlyFans activity and named her account, Sittner told The Washington Post. Local TV reported her story on 25 September, according to published reports. Five days later, she swapped the anonymous handle on her page for her real name, Breitbart reported, citing her profile. Fans pay $27.99 (about £21) a month, Breitbart added. The Washington Post later shared her profile on X; the message appears below.

The Post's update on X had drawn about 123,700 views by 13 October. The newspaper reported that customers must show proof of age and pay for requested content. Her husband, Tim, has cut back on his own business to handle the extra demand from fans, she says. On The Rizzuto Show, she added that none of her material involved pupils or school grounds. Sittner says her page went unnoticed at work for more than two years.

What Her Employer and the School District Say

Kelly Education says pupil safety is its top priority, and that its staff work with districts to respond quickly to concerns about substitute teachers. The agency's email asked her not to contact any campus or district office. In a statement to the local station FOX 2, the firm said that request covered only her teaching role. 'It does not, and cannot, limit anyone's right as a parent,' the company said.

A Parkway spokesman said the district would treat Sittner like any other parent, as she had cleared a background check and online safety training. Corey Silverstein, a Detroit-area First Amendment lawyer, says dismissals over such accounts are rising. He says more employers now include clauses about side work in contracts. Such accounts will come to light sooner or later, 'no matter how private you think they are,' he told The Post.

Pushback and a Missouri Precedent

On air, the show's co-host, Moon, pushed back. The co-host argued that parents who hand their children to staff may still have reasonable concerns about boundaries and vetting. The radio station says Sittner advocates for better teacher pay. She blames low pay for driving women to sites like hers.

In 2023, Brianna Coppage, then a 28-year-old English teacher at Missouri's St. Clair High School, resigned after officials suspended her over her OnlyFans page. Superintendent Kyle Kruse said the district did not ask her to resign. Coppage's second-year teaching salary was about $42,000 (about £31,800), according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The Associated Press reported that the site paid her up to $10,000 (about £7,600) a month.
