Missouri Substitute Teacher Fired After Agency Finds Two-Year-Old OnlyFans Account

Kelly Education suspended Sheena Sittner pending termination after identifying an active OnlyFans account linked to her identity. Sittner, a substitute teacher in the St. Louis County area, argued the discovery was no accident. The account had existed for more than two years, meaning whoever found it likely performed a targeted search. She had continued teaching while managing the platform, acknowledging the risk but surprised by the speed of the crackdown.

The immediate fallout included a directive from the staffing company: "Please refrain from contacting any school or districts." Sittner objected to this blanket ban. Her child attends a school within that district, and the order threatened her ability to participate in her kid's daily education. She insisted her personal life had always been separate from her professional duties, citing years of clean record.

"My personal life is completely separate from my professional life. I have kept those two separate forever," Sittner told KTVI. She pointed to financial pressures as a primary driver for the side income. "If teachers were paid better, women wouldn't have to resort to online content creation," she said. "Sex sells."

Distinction matters here. The school district later clarified that Sittner retains all parental rights. A district spokesman noted she passed background checks and completed safety training, allowing her to volunteer and interact with her child’s school like any other parent. Kelly Education also walked back the broader ban, confirming the restriction applied only to her professional role, not her status as a guardian.

This is not an isolated incident in Missouri. In 2023, Brianna Coppage, a St. Clair High School English teacher, resigned after administrators found her OnlyFans account. Coppage cited a $42,000 annual salary as insufficient, leading her to supplement income through adult content. The issue followed her to a healthcare job in March 2024, where she was fired after five days for violating social-media policies. The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education requires background clearance for substitute teachers, but no specific state law prohibits teachers from maintaining adult content accounts outside of school hours.
