A St. Louis County substitute teacher says she was suspended and put on track for termination after school officials discovered she has run an OnlyFans account for the past two years to supplement her teaching income.
Sheena Sittner told KTVI she had been posting X-rated content on the platform alongside her substitute teaching work, saying someone likely “did some deep-dive digging” to find it after two years online.
“If teachers were paid better, women wouldn’t have to resort to online content creation,” Sittner said. “Sex sells.”
Sittner said she was warned in an email from Kelly Education, the contractor that placed her in substitute roles, that she was suspended pending termination and told to “refrain from contacting any school or districts.”
“It’s like all of a sudden I’ve done something so wrong and sinful that I’m not even allowed [to] volunteer at his school,” Sittner said, referring to her own son’s school.
“I can find another job. I can handle the backlash and the criticism, but when it affects my child or my children, that’s where I draw the line,” she said.
Sittner maintains her online work has never crossed into her life as a parent.
“My personal life is completely separate from my professional life. I have kept those two separate forever,” she said.
She said she always understood the risk that her content could surface eventually — “because whatever you put online, it’s on there forever” — but didn’t expect to be “completely stripped away from being at my kid’s school.”
“It’s funny because I’ve had this account, this OnlyFans account, for two-plus years,” she said. “So, whoever did find it did some deep-dive digging, because two years later and now it’s being found out.”
A spokesperson for Sittner’s school district told KTVI she should still be treated as any other parent able to volunteer, since she had passed a background check and completed mandated online safety training.
Kelly Education told the outlet its warning applies only to Sittner’s professional role as a substitute teacher.
“It does not, and cannot, limit anyone’s right as a parent. Nothing in our request restricts their participation in their child’s education,” the company said.
