The
Arizona-based educator formerly known as Rachel Dolezal has been ousted from
her position in a local school district due to content posted on her OnlyFans
account.
Dolezal,
who legally changed her name to Nkechi Diallo in 2016, had been teaching at an
elementary school in Arizona since August 2023, according to a report
from News4 Tucson.
She
was fired this week after her OnlyFans account was brought to the district’s
attention, as its posts are “contrary to our district’s Use of Social Media by
District Employees policy and our staff ethics policy”, said Julie Farbarik,
the district’s director of alumni and community relations. The account was
linked in Diallo’s public Instagram profile.
“We
only learned of Ms Nkechi Diallo’s OnlyFans social media posts yesterday
afternoon,” she said, according to News4. “She is no longer employed by the
Catalina Foothills school district.” The district did not immediately respond
to request for comment.
Diallo
is best known for controversy surrounding her racial identity, identifying as a
Black woman for years and even heading the local chapter of the National
Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) before her parents
publicly revealed she is white in 2015.
After
the controversy, Diallo lost her role teaching African studies at Eastern
Washington University and launched an
account on OnlyFans in 2021 after struggling to find work. She has made 600
posts in the years since and shared hundreds of paywalled adult videos and
photos. Diallo could not be immediately reached for comment.
Diallo’s
is not the first example of an educator being terminated or resigning due to
OnlyFans content. In 2023, a Missouri teacher was suspended and
later resigned after her account was discovered and shared on Facebook. Some
have argued the
presence of teachers on OnlyFans underscores the financial pressures those in
education face, with the average school teacher making $66,745
per year and 40% of all education professionals earning less than $25,000 per
year.
OnlyFans,
a subscription-based adult content site, exploded in popularity during the
pandemic, going from 1 million global creators in 2020 to 3 million in 2023.
The average OnlyFans creator makes only $151 monthly, but some of the top
accounts bring in as much as $5.4m per year.
