Professional Past of Controversial Figure Halted by Explicit Online Content
Nkechi Diallo, the woman from Montana formerly identified as Rachel Dolezal — renowned for falsely identifying as black — has lost her teaching job after her OnlyFans account was uncovered. Diallo had held a position as an after-school instructor at the Catalina Foothills Unified School District in Tucson, Arizona earning $19 an hour, as reported by the Arizona Daily Star.
This news comes after explicit photos were found published on public websites, a discovery that raised eyebrows and was brought to light by local station KVOA on Tuesday. Diallo’s engagement in adult content creation on the notorious platform had remained unknown to the school until then.
In Violation of School Policies, Dismissal Follows
Julie Farbarik, the district spokeswoman, acknowledged that Diallo’s posts were not in line with their district’s ‘Use of Social Media by District Employees’ policy and violated staff ethics. “Her social media posts were in conspicuous contravention with our district’s social media policy”, Farbarik confirmed in a statement on Wednesday. Consequently, Diallo was dismissed from her role as a staff member of the Catalina Foothills School District.
The school district has clear stipulations, banning employees from communicating on social media in an uncouth manner that could adversely affect their professional reputation in relation to their work.
A History Marked by Racial Controversy
Before the latest controversy, Diallo had lived under the pseudonym Rachel Dolezal in Spokane, Washington. Here she masqueraded as a black civil rights activist, sparking a heated racial debate when her true racial background was disclosed.
Caught in a fabricated racial identity in 2015, Diallo declared herself to be “transracial”. She even leveraged her controversial identity to teach African studies at Eastern Washington University and author her memoir, “In Full Color: Finding My Place in a Black and White World”. She additionally featured in the 2018 Netflix documentary “The Rachel Divide”.
This recent issue underscores the impact of personal online activity on professional sectors, specifically education. It sends a stern message to educators regarding the risk of crossing boundaries in personal social media use. Meanwhile, for Diallo, her identity and credibility both in and beyond the classroom have faced another crushing blow with this scandal.
