Cheerleading Coach Who Did Porn With OnlyFans Teacher Brianna Coppage Says She’s Also Been Suspended by School

A second teacher at a Missouri high school has been placed on administrative leave after her she appeared on OnlyFans video with a former colleague, reports said. 

Megan Gaither, an English teacher and head cheerleading coach at St. Clair High School, said she had been placed on administrative leave Friday after school officials learned she had appeared in a pornographic video with her former colleague Brianna Coppage.

Coppage, 28, a fellow English teacher, told The Messenger last month that she quit her job after the school suspended her for posting on OnlyFans, a website where creators can be paid for content directly. 

Gaither told The Missourian she and Coppage appeared together in a video using pseudonyms and that she had hidden her face in an effort to avoid recognition. She said students accessed Coppage’s page and shared her content, spurring speculation that Gaither had appeared in the video.

She said a student slipped a note under her classroom door claiming they “knew her secret.”

The educator told The Missourian she was weighing whether or not to resign, but felt it was “absolutely ridiculous that adults get treated this way for being adults.” She told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch she expects to be fired for going public. 

“I was in like maybe four minutes of the entire thing, and I definitely did not think this would be the thing that would ruin my entire career,” Gaither told the Post-Dispatch.

Coppage and Gaither independently created OnlyFans accounts and didn’t know the other was on the site until June. Now, they’re best friends, Gaither said. 

Gaither told the Post-Dispatch she began posting on OnlyFans to help pay her $125,000 worth of student loans after obtaining a second graduate degree earlier this year. Coppage also turned to the website to boost her income.

“Teaching does not financially support a person,” Gaither told the Post-Dispatch. “It’s really hard to stretch those paychecks during the summer. That’s why I did it.”

Gaither said she believed she could have remained anonymous on the site if Coppage’s page hadn’t been reported by an unknown subscriber. Gaither told The Missourian she deleted her own account in a panic after Coppage's was discovered, despite earning an additional $3,000 to $5,000 a month. 

Since Coppage’s resignation, her success on OnlyFans has ballooned, the Post-Dispatch reported. Her subscribers quintupled. 

School district Superintendent Kyle Kruse didn’t immediately respond to an inquiry from The Messenger about Gaither. Neither Gaither or Coppage immediately responded to inquiries.
