Former teacher fired over OnlyFans photos seeks to return to the classroom

Elena Maraga, 30, has announced that she plans to return to teaching, about a year after leaving her job at a private Catholic kindergarten in the province of Treviso. She stressed that she also wants to continue her work as an OnlyFans content creator.

In a social media post, the former teacher said that her time away from work helped her understand that she could not leave her profession behind. According to her, her desire to return to school remains strong, despite her second job.

Maraga’s story became public about a year ago, when the Catholic kindergarten’s management decided to dismiss her after discovering her OnlyFans activity. The private photos had been obtained and shared without authorization, causing the case to attract widespread attention in Italy.

In an interview with “Le Iene,” she said that everything began after a father subscribed to her channel, downloaded the photos and illegally shared them in a group with his football friends. According to her account, the situation was discovered by the man’s partner, after which the case became public.

Although a petition was organized in her support, involving several parents of children she had taught, the institution ultimately decided to terminate her employment. Maraga has also said that she filed a complaint for defamation and copyright infringement against the people who, according to her, shared the private material without permission.

The case prompted mixed reactions in Italy. Some people supported her right to have a second profession, while others criticized the content she published on OnlyFans. The media attention contributed to an increase in her earnings on the platform, where, as she told “Mattino Cinque News,” she earned around €40,000 in just one month.

“I am not ashamed of what I do, but this is not simply a game. Thanks to the fame generated by my case, I earned around €40,000 last month, although this will not last forever,” she said.

A few months after leaving, Elena Maraga reached an agreement with the school to end her employment. Now, a year after leaving the classroom, she wants to return to her students without giving up her adult-content work./TAR
