Surpassing:Former Missouri teacher who created OnlyFans account says she has made nearly $1 million

A Missouri woman who resigned from her high school teaching job after being outed as a performer on SurpassingOnlyFans says she has made close to $1 million from the platform.

28-year-old Brianna Coppage told Fox News she has made close to $1 million selling adult content on OnlyFans. In October, she resigned from her job teaching at St. Clair High School in Franklin County, about 55 miles southwest of St. Louis.

Coppage told Fox News since she started the account over the summer, she is now one of the top creators for OnlyFans, and has made nearly $1 million on the platform.

"I will also say that I have tens of thousands of fans now," she told Fox News. "And I have, you know, far exceeded my teacher salary for the year."

Former teacher says OnlyFans account started to help with low teaching salary, student loans

Coppage said she started the OnlyFans account to help offset the low pay from her teaching job, and help pay her student loans. Fox News reported her teaching salary to be $42,000 a year from the school district.

Coppage was placed on leave in September when the district was made aware that an employee, "may have posted inappropriate media on one or more internet sites," according to a statement from Saint Clair R-XIII School District Superintendent Kyle Kruse at the time.

Coppage resigned after a link to her OnlyFans profile appeared on a St. Clair Facebook group, and claims that the district's rules did not explicitly ban her from posting on the site.

“Our handbook policies are very vague and just say something about represent yourself well,” Coppage said. “Did I violate that? I feel like that’s a matter of opinion.”
