‘Double Lives of Suburban Wives’ star insists she didn’t rat out fellow teacher-turned-OnlyFans creator that led to firing
“Double Lives of Suburban Wives” star Brianna Coppage has “receipts” to prove she didn’t leak the story that got fellow OnlyFans creator Megan Gaither fired from her teaching job.
Coppage, 32, spoke exclusively to Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” about the drama unfolding in the TLC show’s debut season, including the accusations that she was the reason Gaither, 34, lost her job.
“I already told her I didn’t do it,” Coppage told us. “I did not do it, and towards the end of the show, there are receipts.”
Coppage kept the nature of her receipts under wraps, coyly explaining that a “reporter won’t reveal the source.”
Meanwhile, her “Double Lives” co-star Tammy Thompson, who goes by Erika Swingz on her social media platforms, said they “don’t actually know” what’s going to be shown on the series.
“We haven’t seen anything,” she told us. “As the viewers are seeing it, we’re seeing it for the first time.”
“Double Lives of Suburban Wives” follows a group of St. Louis-based mothers and wives who secretly create adult content to provide for their families.
In September 2023, Coppage’s OnlyFans account was exposed, and she was placed on administrative leave from her job as a high school English teacher. She resigned from St. Clair School District the following month.
A few weeks later, Gaither — another St. Clair English teacher and varsity cheerleading coach — was also suspended after her own OnlyFans account was outed.
Because Gaither never showed her face in her steamy content, she believed Coppage — who, at the time, was her best friend — had leaked the story and ruined her teaching career.
In her confessional, Gaither says she would do things differently if she could go back.
“If I could go back in time, I wouldn’t do it,” she admits. “I wouldn’t make content.”
The two women were earning just over $40,000 a year as teachers, which they supplemented with lucrative OnlyFans careers.
Coppage was earning between $8,000 to $10,000 each month on the platform, while Gaither was earning between $3,000 to $5,000.
In March 2024, Coppage made headlines again when she got fired from her new job as a community support specialist at Compass Health for “[violating] social media policy.” She worked with the company for less than a week before her content was discovered by her employer, and she was subsequently terminated from the position.
“Double Lives of Suburban Wives” airs Sunday nights at 10 p.m. ET on TLC.
