A Missouri high school teacher says she has been placed on leave after officials discovered that she was performing on a pornography website to supplement her salary.

Brianna Coppage, 28, who taught English at St. Clair High School, says her teaching days are probably over, but she acknowledged she knew the risks.

Coppage told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that she was put on leave on Wednesday after being interviewed by two administrators. Her access to school email and other software was suspended while the district investigates, she said.

“It was kind of always like this cloud hanging over my head, like I never knew when I would be discovered,” Coppage said in an interview. “Then, about two weeks ago, my husband and I were told that people were finding out about it. So I knew this day was coming.”

    Lol as a teenager who had an attractive teacher for a class, I don’t know if you understand what they’re saying.

    Teenagers are kids. Kids are, by their very nature, stupid. If they know said teacher is actively publishing content to an OF, they are absolutely going to find said content. It’s just a whole mess for all parties involved.

    Adults should absolutely be able to live their lives, but accept that kids are kids and kids do stupid shit.

      Again, so what?

      In High School, Ms Sell the british lit teacher was the “hot teacher”. She talked about being a cheerleader in college and you can bet there were some of us who rubbed more than a few out imagining her in a cheerleader costume. And there was the really creepy and pathetic kid who cut up his yearbook and taped her face to a printout of a porn star he found online and pretended it was real… which was actually a good “holy shit some people are creepy fucks” realization in high school. It is a REAL learning moment to realize that, as awkward and pathetic as you are for jacking it with hand lotion in the bathroom while imagining your english teacher, you could be a LOT creepier.

      So what? End of the day, she was the english teacher and (unlike one of the social studies teachers…) was not going to fuck students. End of story. Horny kids gonna be horny. But learning to interact with people is part of growing up.

      Also, if the kid who taped her face to a printout was creepy, imagine the horror that is the deepfake present.


      As for getting access to the content: If she were doing live chaturbate shows I would have more concerns. But this was a private OF account and it sounds like people never realized she was doing it until she did a collab with someone with a wider audience. And checking a few of the porn sites: The only uploads are specifically under her legal name with none under her OF name alone and are likely a result of this scandal. I would still have worn a mask if I were her and her husband but… whatever.


      Also, getting back to Ms Sell: She had a kid junior year. I will always remember Ting frantically running up to a few of us at lunch and saying “Ms Sell is pregnant! That means she had sex!!!” and, before we could say “no shit?”, Phil said “Why?” and we still mock him for that when we get together over a decade later.

      So… are teachers also required to not get pregnant for fear of overstimulating the children?

        What a small world. My social studies teacher was also banging a student. Did yours also end up in jail?

        Ngl bro it sounds like you just really wish your teachers did porn… which like, same, but even I have the frame of mind to know that that isn’t a healthy teaching situation.
