I’m a teacher – my career is in ruins after pupils found my OnlyFans – I blame their parents
A TEACHER has told how her career has been ruined after pupils discovered she was flogging saucy snaps on adult site OnlyFans.
Kirsty Buchan, 33, was forced to quit her job yesterday at Bannerman High, in Glasgow, after her racy side hustle was exposed.
The physics teacher claims she was forced turn to the adult site in a bid to earn extra income as she feared not being able to pay her bills in the run-up to Christmas.
And the mum-of-one, from Coatbridge, Lanarkshire, blames the parents of her former pupils after the X-rated content was uncovered.
She said it was their fault for allowing their kids to find the site by not protecting their devices.
Kirsty said: "Some people are being so judgemental but I am on an 18+ site and if the kids get access to the content then that is down to the parents failing to protect their devices.
"Who are others to judge? It's my story to tell. I will do anything to provide for my son.
"How many parents can say they can do that.
“Now people have asked me if I am being stupid but I am not stupid, I have a physics degree and worked hard.
“I could go to my work and not be respected by my bosses - or I can post pictures and make money to provide for my son. To me, that is using my brain.”

The physics graduate says she was forced to set up the explicit site after her wages were cut when she had to take a few days off to look after her son, who fell ill back in March.
Kirsty says her pleas to work from home were rejected - and instead she ended up going off sick and on reduced money.
And she quit teaching yesterday after the scandal came to light.
It was recently revealed Bannerman teachers are to due to strike over concerns of violent and abusive behaviour by pupils.
Members of the NASUWT teachers’ union said that teachers at the school have been verbally abused and threatened by pupils.
The former-teacher claimed: "Teachers are sworn at and get physical and verbal abuse from the kids."
She alleges one teacher had a bag put over their head and another had a pupil threaten them with a chair.
Kirsty claims management were not supporting the staff adding: "If you call for help in an emergency you can't get someone. I've had fights in my class and teachers on other floors have heard me screaming and ran to help.
"I''ve had to split up fights in the road and nearly been hit by buses. Teachers are being told to improve their teaching method and are sent home for refusing to teach.
"There are no consequences for bad behaviour."
A Glasgow City Council spokeswoman said: “This teacher was under investigation prior to tendering her resignation following the widespread distribution of wholly inappropriate and pornographic images.
“The council has a code of conduct that all employees should adhere to and a teacher who has actively pursued a second income on this type of website brings their school, the council and their profession into disrepute.
“We will be referring the details of our investigation to the General Teaching Council (GTC) and have responded to parental complaints made to the school."

The spokesperson added: “It is very telling that this person has tried to deflect from this situation by taking advantage of current news stories about the school which has no relation to the disciplinary proceedings.”
