The Missouri high school teacher who quit her teaching job after having problems getting an OnlyFans account revealed she was laid off from her new healthcare job.
Brianna Coppage, 28, was placed on leave from St. Clair High School in Missouri in the fall after administrators received a report that an employee “may have posted inappropriate media on one or more Internet sites.”
Coppage, who goes by the name Brooklin Love online, made headlines for the scandal that landed her $1 million in earnings on OnlyFans and allowed her to resign from teaching.
She said KMOV she then got a job at Compass Health as a community support specialist because she was bored of not working, but was fired after just a few days despite claiming she had disclosed her work history.
“They admitted they didn’t call my references or Google it before hiring me. They claim I violated their social media policy, but won’t respond to me explaining how I violated it,” Coppage said.
Brianna Coppage, the Missouri high school teacher who quit her teaching job after having problems getting an OnlyFans account, revealed she was laid off from her new healthcare job.
Coppage, 28, was placed on leave from St. Clair High School in Missouri in the fall after administrators received a report on her account.
She said she got a job at Compass Health as a community support specialist but was fired after just a few days, although she claimed she had disclosed her work history.
“I lasted five days before they put me on leave and then laid me off this month.”
“Not having to get up and go to a 9 to 5 has been hard on my mental health,” she said.
Coppage earned $42,000 a year as an English teacher at St. Clair High School in suburban St. Louis and used OnlyFans as a way to pay off his student loans.
Missouri has one of the lowest starting salaries for teachers in the country, according to the National Education Association.
“I started it, first of all, just to supplement my income and see what happens and possibly make some extra money. For example, I have student loans. I was working on my third degree. So I also have a master’s degree in education, and then I was working on my honors degree,” she told Fox News.
Coppage believed she was identified after her husband appeared in one of her videos and someone notified the local school board.
A post on his X account, formerly Twitter, says: “Y’all are crazy, someone shared my videos with my entire hometown.” Hope you enjoyed watching.
All OnlyFans users must be at least 18 years old according to the site’s terms of service.
But even though creators are subject to strict age verification checks, the platform only says that subscribers or fans “may be required to provide various personally identifying information” depending on their country of residence.
After being asked about the nature of her story and whether or not it coincided with her teaching career, she told them it was “completely separate.”
Coppage was not asked to resign following the meeting and district officials took “every possible step to ensure confidentiality” after Coppage’s page was discovered through social media posts, a Superintendent Kyle Kruse told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Coppage said she was making up to $10,000 a month on the website OnlyFans – before the story of her suspension made international news.

Coppage believed she was identified after her husband appeared in one of her videos and someone notified the local school board.
In the days that followed, her account gained over 100 new followers and she more than doubled the price of her subscription. She said at the time of her suspension that she would continue to post on the site.
“I don’t regret joining OnlyFans. I know it can be taboo, or some people may think it’s shameful, but I don’t think sex work should be shameful,” Coppage told the newspaper in September. “I just wish things happened a different way.”
After leaving her teaching job, Coppage told the Messenger, “I don’t want the school to continue to receive hate.”
“I wish students’ education could return to normal,” she added.
“They deserve to have a great year.”
