An elementary school teacher from Arizona has been fired from her job after officials found that she had been running an OnlyFans.
Rachel Dolezal, who now goes by the name Nkechi Diallo, had been employed by the Catalina Foothills School District in Tucson, Arizona.
But the former teacher ended up losing her job after it emerged that she was running an OnlyFans account.
OnlyFans allows users to post content behind a paywall on their account.
While users can post many kinds of content, the platform is commonly used to post adult entertainment and has become widely associated with this.

The school district confirmed that Diallo had an OnlyFans account which was linked to her Instagram page.
She had had the account since 2021, but the account has only just been discovered by the school district.
In a statement, the school district told Arizona Republic: "We only learned of Ms. Nkechi Diallo’s OnlyFans social media posts (Tuesday) afternoon.
"Her posts are contrary to our district’s ‘Use of Social Media by District Employees’ policy and our staff ethics policy. She is no longer employed by the Catalina Foothills School District.”
The agreement about private social media accounts states that employees at the district cannot be unprofessional in their communications outside of work in a way which would “significantly and adversely impact the employee’s work-related reputation.”
She was first employed as a part-time, after-school extended-day instructor and a substitute teacher in August 2023.
Diallo previously made the headlines when she revealed that she identifies as Black, despite being born to white parents.
In November 2015, she revealed that she had first 'known' that she was Black at the age of five, and styled her hair and tanned her skin.
This isn't the first teacher to leave a teaching job over an OnlyFans account.
In 2023, teacher Brianna Coppage was placed on administrative leave after it emerged that she was using the platform as a side hustle.
Coppage subsequently quit her job and went on to post content on the platform full time.
She told Fox News Digital: "I started it, one, to just supplement my income and kind of see what happens and possibly make extra money."
But the account soon took off, with the former teacher saying she has made more than $1 million from the site.
She said: "I will also say that I have tens of thousands of fans now. And I have, you know, far exceeded my teacher salary for the year."
