A Missouri high school teacher who was put on leave last week after being dismissed as an OnlyFans entertainer wants to return to the classroom — despite admitting that some of her students may have seen her X-rated content.
Megan Gaither, 31, is the second educator to be suspended from St. Clair in a few weeks for running the OnlyFans page.
The university’s English teacher and cheerleading coach said she was placed on leave after another faculty member told the media that she had sex on camera with her “best friend” and former colleague, Brianna Coppage.
Coppage, 28, was suspended from St. Clair last month after administrators discovered she and her husband were making adult content on a subscription porn site.
“There is nothing in our contract other than being an example that I violated, so I let them do the investigation, I involved the teachers’ union. So I’m just waiting to see the results of the investigation, to see what they think,” Gaither told The Post Monday.
“Would it be weird, huh?,” he added of returning to teach children, who might find the content raunchy.
“But I also know the level of connection I have with my students and the respect I have.”

Coppage, who also teaches English, stepped down from his role as an educator after his suspension — and claims he’s made $1 million on OnlyFans in the month since leaving.
Gaither, however, has every intention of returning to the classroom.
“They deserve certified teachers and the fact is, they don’t have any. They technically don’t have two now,” he said, referring to Coppage.
Coppage agreed that they had not breached their contract, but decided it would be too difficult for him to resume teaching high school children given the content of his channel, which features everything from solo sexual acts to full-on intercourse.
“I think, after adults put our stuff out there for kids to see and I don’t think it’s appropriate to go back into the classroom and be able to do my job effectively after students might see things like this. ,” he told The Post.

“A lot of people say ‘this is against the contract they signed and the teachers have a morality clause,’ and we don’t. We have no moral clause; I didn’t sign a contract saying I wouldn’t do something like this.”
The two married women’s journey into the world of adult content begins in the spring, unbeknownst to each other, to supplement their meager teaching salaries.
“Brianna and I didn’t know that each other was doing it, it wasn’t something we started together,” Gaither explained.
The motivation for Coppage to go all online was “60% financial,” he said, as he wanted to top his $42,000 salary.

“As we know, Missouri is one of the lowest rated states in the United States for teacher pay and the St. Clair is one of the lowest paying districts, like, in our immediate area.”
In just a few weeks, Coppage says he earned 25 times his previous annual income — and flew to New York and Los Angeles for television appearances to promote the X-rated work he loves.
“It was never meant for students to see, they shouldn’t see this, and like adults are still posting in local Facebook groups both me and Megan’s stuff for kids to see, which is not appropriate,” Coppage said.

Gaither also started his yard, which he says is more vanilla, in the spring after facing $125,000 in loan payments for his two master’s degrees.
As an honors English teacher and cheerleading coach, she earned $47,500. Since last Friday he has earned almost a quarter of that salary.
“It was something that we did and because we were really close friends, we were like at a baseball game, I don’t know how it actually happened, we just looked at each other and were like ‘you did it. right?,’” Gaither recounted.
Once the cat is out of the bag, the two team up for some “girly” action on Coppage’s channel, according to the cons.
Gaither said he knew the scene was risky for his career but said he didn’t think he would be recognized because he was filmed “completely from behind.”
“I didn’t get any financial gain for it, I just did it because we had fun and I wanted to,” he said.
Gaither came out after someone posted a photo of her at a party wearing the clothes she wore in her sex scene.

“In a small town like St. Clair speculation is all you need to be crucified,” said Gaither from the small town 50 miles southwest of St. Clair. Louis.
She said she had been “shamed” by many people in her hometown less than 5,000 years ago – just for wearing make-up to school and tracksuits to cheer practice.
“I’m a woman and some people don’t like me in society, I’ve known this for three years now. I’ve been slut-shamed, I’ve been ostracized at work, I’ve had basically no support, especially last week which was the hardest week of my life,” Gaither said.
The English teacher said her “passion” for education dates back to her own school days — when she would come home and relay the day’s lessons on the blackboard to her stuffed animals.
“I’ve always loved learning and reading,” Gaither said.
Coppage also shared his devotion to education, saying he will “definitely miss it[es] my students and the moments I share with them.”
However, he admits his teaching days are over.
The newly minted millionaire said he expects to do porn for another five years before launching his own business.
School district officials did not immediately return requests for comment on Gaither’s future job prospects Monday.
But the X-rated educator has words of advice for anyone rushing to judge him.
“Death is a sliding scale, and just because you think something is immoral and it’s against your code of conduct doesn’t mean it’s against someone else’s code of conduct, and to impose your ideals of how one should behave and act on someone. others are incorrect,” Gaither said.
“People have the right to be individuals, and it’s okay if people have different beliefs and we shouldn’t crucify and shame them,” Coppage added.
