A Canadian school district fired a special needs teaching assistant after discovering she had an OnlyFans account and she refused to shut it down.
Kristin MacDonald said she received an email April 28 from School District 43 in British Columbia, Canada, advising her to deactivate all accounts related to “Ava James,” a persona she maintained for her side activities online — specifically for her OnlyFans account.
“I was advised to deactivate all Ava James social media platforms immediately, including [Instagram], TikTok and OnlyFans, or possibly be terminated,” MacDonald told Fox News Digital. “I did not comply.”
The school district terminated her on June 16.
The school district called her conduct “egregious” and listed half a dozen reasons for her termination, including posting material that “involves the sexualization of the school environment” and that she allegedly disparaged the district in media interviews, during which she also linked her job and side-hustle and capitalized on the links between her jobs to make more money.

MacDonald told CBC that she felt “strongly … in this day and age, we should be able to do what we want as long as it’s not illegal,” and she insisted she was “not hurting anybody” with her side-hustle.

She revealed that the school conducted a three-day investigation, but that she felt “it was clear that the narrative had been concluded as I was repeatedly shamed for having an OnlyFans account” and for her content. That investigation included screenshots of her content, which MacDonald’s believes means the school used taxpayer money to subscribe to the account.

“I’ve gotten emailed screenshots from my OnlyFans account that my school district sent out to Myself, the union and HR, that only paid subscribers have access too, meaning I have proof that the school used taxpayers’ money to subscribe to my OnlyFans,” MacDonald stressed, claiming that it was against OnlyFans policy to share the content outside the website.
“At this point I’d like the ability to go back to working for a school district,” MacDonald said.
School District 43 did not respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment by time of publication.
