An Ohio high school English teacher who was forced to resign after her secret OnlyFans account was discovered has revealed that she sold the explicit content to pay off debts and that part of her ‘died’ now that she is no longer teaching.
Jennifer Ruziscka, 50, was expelled from Springfield High School in Holland, Ohio, where she had worked for 28 years, when her “Jenniferssecrets” account was discovered earlier this year.
Ruziscka has now revealed that she turned to OnlyFans for extra income to support her family, deal with credit card debt and overdue mortgage and car payments.
“Running an OF site was quite easy because I could set aside 20-30 minutes each evening to produce content to post and then resume the 3-4 hours of work I so routinely took home every evening,” the former teacher told Fox News.
“Just when I thought I could breathe a sigh of relief that there was now an additional source of income to help me close the financial gap that was growing every day, I was told that the district was aware of my after-hours activities and was placed on paid administrative leave,” she told the publication.

The superintendent told her the district was aware of an educator’s online sexual behavior and “inappropriate behavior”
Adding: ‘A 28-year career at the same school was now in jeopardy.’
Ruziscka said she was heartbroken when she left teaching and now faces “a feeling of sadness, emptiness and heartbreak every day.”
“I truly loved entering that building, excited about what I had planned that day, because the energy in my classroom was electric, the camaraderie among my students was contagious, and the personal and academic growth was fulfilling,” she explained out.
“Without my presence in a classroom, it’s as if a part of me has died.
“I wasn’t just teaching students; I have reached out to students,” she added.
The 50-year-old said the heartbreak is even greater because it was a friend who revealed her secret to the school district.
“Knowing firsthand the pain and sorrow that comes with losing a job, I cannot bring myself to (reveal the friend’s name and) avenge that level of betrayal.
“That’s not who I am and not who I ever want to be.”
Superintendent Matt Geha said the school district became aware on Jan. 26 that Ruziscka was operating a “pornographic/sexually graphic website.”
After resigning, Ruziscka said, “I remain one of the finest English teachers to ever serve the Springfield Local School District.”
Ruziscka worked as a cheerleading coach and yearbook advisor, and her salary at the time of her dismissal was $74,720
Geha said in a letter to the Ohio Board of Education that during the investigation into the teacher’s conduct, “the evidence was secured under the guidance of the district attorney.”
He contacted Ruziscka and told her the district was aware of an educator’s online sexual conduct and “inappropriate behavior.”
Geha told Ruziscka in an email that the evidence found included “an online account open and available to the public maintained by you that contains sexualized images and videos of you.”
He said her conduct violated the Licensure Code of Professional Conduct for Ohio Educators, Sections 1, 8 and 9(h).”
Section 9, entitled “Appropriate and Responsible Use of Technology,” states: “While maintaining their constitutional rights, educators recognize that when using technology, the words they choose and the context of their statements may reflect negatively on the views, schools and the profession.”
A disciplinary hearing was scheduled for January 31, but she resigned beforehand.
In addition to teaching English, Ruziscka worked as a cheerleading coach and yearbook advisor. Her salary at the time of her discharge was $74,720.
