The article is trash. She has to do what she has to do. I have two employees that have done stuff and we don't care.
EMTMarv
Me reading this as I go into my second job... I love EMS but the pay sucks
xMCioffi1986x
This is the result of a country founded on puritanical ideals. The fact that she saves lives every day is irrelevant because whore.
kelseysaurusrex
Interesting that the FDNY man who was interviewed for the article, disparaging her for not working 80+ hour weeks as an EMT was able to
Maintain his anonymity.

There are two problems with this story. A) Why can't a person working a full time job afford to live in the city they work in? B) Why +
can't a n adult have a side gig where she sells pictures of herself online without it being "scandalous"?
rattytom
Good for her. F#%K that reporter and anyone with the audacity to throw stones when you just know they're just hiding their own garbage.

AOC might just be the thing to restore my faith in the US of A.

I mean, it's the NY Post which is newspaper making ends meet by being a tabloid trash magazine.
paulus1978
Don't tabloid shame, if people would pay an honest price for news they wouldn't have to go to those measures to cover all thier expenses.
MrsUnderstoop
I fail to see how it’s anyone’s business but her own.
Magjee
She told a reporter so they could write a story about how they were underpaid, she wanted to remain anonymous. But the reporter was a POS.

I'm a man, but if I thought having an OnlyFans with a few nude pics would make me some side $$, you bet I'm doing it. These are dark times.
thisisbologne
It is very common for people in EMS to have multiple jobs. Its a horrible trend of paying them extremely low.

Between that and the increase in drug and alcohol deaths, we are there. All we need now is for the currency to collapse. Give it a year.
relsky
It's important to note that: reporter found her, discovered her name, pursued her for the story, took her defending herself as "quotes" 1/
and then ignored her pleas to not dox her. The author is absolute scum and should be scraped off of someone's shoe.
NanoTox

TheDayTheBrainStoodStill
At the publication he works at, that kind of behavior means you're angling for a raise.

Sounds like someone needs doxxing. Do I normally agree with it? No, but this guy is a piece of shit and probably spanked to her pics >>

That women need to prostitute themselves to earn a living wage is outrageous.
pyroplumbus7
She asked to remain anonymous, fuckbag reported should have respected her wishes.
shepahrdjhon
the point is( or should be) , why does a medic even NEED a side gig. Doesn't matter if she was driving an Uber, programming or doing this.
Callynd
No one should need a side gig to survive. A full time job should be enough.
ItsKindaComplicated
Why is a woman having an Only Fans page deemed "newsworthy"? Adult content is a $10Billion a year industry, so why is it a big deal?
VodkaReindeer
Because people will click on it. It's a tabloid, they don't need any other reason.
amglasgow
Because sex is scary
NotASwordButADickinDisguise
Because despite being obsessed with sex, our culture thinks it's the greatest sin for any woman to be sexual and for others to enjoy it.

RequineCounts
Because how DARE she also have the audacity to operate in the public with the REAL PEOPLE /s
the male owners of media are still old conservative misogynistic assholes. They knew what the artcle would do to her.
The New York Post is a publication read by the kind of people who appreciate being able to judge women and jack it to them at the same time.
becauseurwrong
She's a medic so she already has a "real job worthy of respect"? Same ppl that ignore desperate exploited women everywhere.
thegelatoking
Because the Christian lives she saves doing her day job will go immediately to hell now.
Adamarket
Because other people are prudes who look at porn on the DL. It's such hypocrisy.
IThinkYouGotAFineBrainJack
Maybe they're trying to help her blow up. /s
Because our culture still hates women, especially women who take ownership of their own sexuality.
Because sex work isn't real work... except when we count it as part of the GDP and it generates dividends for our portfolio, but that's it!
Or, as we Seattlites historically did, just label the prostitutes as “seamstresses” and pass a “sewing machine tax.”
I love how every attempt to inhibit sex work inevitably fails or succumbs to a loophole because you can't legislate away human nature.
Or because they don’t tackle the root of the problem (like, cultures they view sex as an entitlement for men while treating women >
>sometimes children as nothing more than livestock). The most successful programs aimed at protecting sex workers >
DaisyfromDownunder
10 billion a year is kind of a big deal.
ChrisMorray
Because she's a medic trying to make ends meet, since she is underpaid in her main job.

Because it's the New York Post, and they peddle schlock.
TheOneThatGotBanned
its not and there was no reason for Dean Balsamini and Susan Edelman to hang her in public with name, age, work place and even tried to get
a respond from her employer, that is just beyond mean.
'Beyond mean'? From the fucking *New York Post*? All of their 'reporters' deserve being shot on sight on principle.

It's newsworthy that a medic needs a second job to live.

Somehow this belief is unironically called "family values"

No she isn't. It should say "Medics in New York need two jobs to survive." I know paramedics who live quite comfortable lives outside of NY.

I'm just hoping her only fans blows up big so when she gets cut as a medic she'll have better income than before.

dovo1695
Kind of hard to replace a $25/hr medic gig on only fans. It's crappy the NY Post published that.
forthoseabouttobork
Honestly though, as a lifelong New Yorker, $25/hr doesn’t go very far here. It’s maddening.
BrokeMyFunnyBone
There are plenty of people making 10x that on OF. With this much free exposure, I'm willing to bet she'll make over a mil.
zohrehownz
25/hr is pretty bad pay for NYC area. Cost of living is through the roof even in the outer boroughs.
philipwright1
You realise that OnlyFans workers make 6 figures a year right?
YouHaveNoodsAndIHaveAnInbox
Jesus, we’re only paying nursing staff $25/hr? Thats barely enough to rent a house in CA. You can make more with a GED loading trucks.
DarkZalgo
Gonna go out on a limb here and guess her medic gig didn't pay $25/hour, which is why she started an onlyfans.
Orthy
Or it did and she’s got loan payments.
Leevalleyoftheshadowofdeath
I mean hell she's in NYC, can't imagine living costs there are close to reasonable
OmnipotentBeing
$25 an hour in New York will barely pay your rent bro.
She said she was making $25/hr in the article. It's a pretty decent wage that would be hard to easily replace.
idonthaveanyideawhatthehelliamtalkingabout
is it a pretty decent wage ? you are saying this on a post about a woman that didn't live on that waghe
Ialwayslookhungover
Its a decent wage most places. In NYC, it means she only needs 3 roommates to afford a decent apartment.
At $10/month, she would only need an additional 417 fans to make an additional $50k/year.
She's a professional, and her profession is her priority. The article said she deleted her OF account. Plan B is not an option.
[deleted]
Yeah I feel that Dean Balsamini and Susan Edelman are no better than Brock Turner.
AOYearOfBirth
So could she sue now?
I wish, but what would be the claim? It's not libel if it's true, and I don't think there's an expectation of privacy on Only Fans.
suiseiseki
You have to have money to sue and this ensures she doesn't. 'Murica.

madpathmoth
American business owners can fire anyone for any reason, only accountable if you have irrefutable proof it was discrimination.
I'm not really talking about the legality of a termination, but the morality of it. We cannot have naked skin, omg!!
My point is... Any twisted 'moral' reason are fine in America because of the laws, and because sexist conservatives are so normalized here.

Misogyny. Men have oppressed women for centuries for being open with sexuality, whilst men have also sexualised them to retain power.
SniffMyPinkies
Women doing this on their own behalf take the power of objectification away from men.
Now let's watch the downvotes of salty men roll in.
Yeah, a woman having to prostitute herself cause her wage isn't enough is so liberating /s
She did it because she had to, but if you think the fucking *New York Post* reported on it for anything but the titillation value...
Yes, they're fuckers, but it's not just a "second gig" either
There's the judgement. Its awful that she needs to do this to survive. But she is not prostituting herself.

Not all jobs say they can decide what you do outside of work, whatever she signed decides if she can sue if she is fired.
They're assholes for publishing it. $25/hr jobs don't grow on trees. Even if she keeps her job, I can't imagine facing coworkers after this.

Does 50k a year even provide ends meat in NYC?
spacecowboyein
Just barely. You can afford a cheap apartment or go in with roommates.
DeeDoubleYu
You can get the end meat but not the middle, and the middle is the tastiest meat.
Jawesome19
If you live outside the city maybe
hurrdurrcure
Ends meet, although I used to think it was ends meat too, my brother made fun of me about it, makes sense though
Sorry, I make sausages and other cuts of meats, it's all meats. Want to meat up and discuss meatings?
I make $60K/year living paycheck-to-paycheck. Ate canned soups, grilled cheese, and ramen noodles. I also had a roommate. Fuck capitalism
StuckInBetweeen
If you live outside of Manhattan yes. Outer areas of the Bronx and Queens, definitely.
It doesn't make you rich by a long stretch, but it's a middle class income. The median income in NYC about $51k.
MrZev
Min wage is $15 an hour , so 30k
Damn, I'm single in WNY making that... sure doesn't seem like I would survive in NYC... barely being middle class here.
TheVermonster
51k in NYC is barely surviving. Just because it's median doesn't make it comfortable. You'd be in a shared apt, maybe even a shared room.
ImtheGuyWhoGotShotInTheDickByRobocop
Employment lawyer here. Employers are not custodian of employee character. Off-duty conduct is normally not disciplinable. 1/
If she has a union then employer probably not allowed to terminate without just cause, even if it is an "at-will" state. 2/
If the employer can terminate with notice and without cause l, there may be a sex discrimination issue. My 2 cents: leave it alone. 3/3
zylokun
Everything you said is wrong in the USA
lol, they're touchy. Can't criticize the all mighty US or their brand of capitalism. No, no, no, that's a -1 :D Here's +1 back.
Right to work states don't care. Theyd allow the termination
SerYoshi4
She was fired.
That being said employers can fire you without citing reasons or having valid reasons, so none of that matters. If they want to, they will.
CRSSWRD
Thought this depended on the state you lived it. Idk I'm not a lawyer.
Typically only if they provide notice or pay, and even then it can't be discrimination.
Unless you can prove its discrimination, it's not. No fault is very common, employees in America don't have rights
Presumably you're going to lend her the money for her lawsuit to prove it was discrimination?
No but I'll Subscribe to her onlyfans of I can find it.
Aysling
Teachers and other professionals are routinely fired for the same thing, though? I've heard of it happening at least three times recently.
Very limited (and sometimes controversial) exception where conduct damages employer's business and/or reputation.
truthsmiles
IMO, what damages their reputation is not paying her enough.
Kunitsu
probably depends on the contract you signed, alot have been including social media and shit just to cover their own asses or have an easier
Every employee has a contract. Terms that are not written are implied by statute or common law.
reason to get rid of people they dont like
I'll add that I'm Canadian and even though we're both common law jurisdictions, employment is somehow treated differently.
crazyspelling
If you're a Canadian lawyer and don't understand how two different common law countries can treat employment law differently, that's bad.
That's not what that means. It means we both incorporated legal principles from other sources when we became independent.
WhyDoThis
US workers dont have rights. We can be terminated for a slew of reasons. Only a couple reasons they cant touch because of Labor Laws 1/2
Medical and racial are about it.

On the other hand, she'll probably make way more than she ever did through OF with all this exposure.
bochikiniki
In defense, you are a medical provider & hav responsibility to hold up a imagine of professionalism. That being said she should be paid more
No. I could MAYBE see that argument working for like a teacher or someone who's suppose to be a "role model" but a medic should only have 1
a responsibility to practice medicine. 2/2
We ARE role models....
exactedgenticles
Uh, well if med. professionals aren't getting paid a living wage all bets are off for their supposed "image of professionalism"
What about employers who don't pay living wages? That is more of a violation of professionalism imo

That would only be a defense if she were taking the pictures at work. Once people go home they're just people.

Think of it this way too - you pay dues for things like this, it isn't extra $ out of your pocket. AA mechanics took 4 years to get a 1/

That's the company dragging things out to demoralize you and cost you money. Time to go on strike instead of arbitration. Or maybe the 1/

There are plenty of people making 10x that on OF. With this much free exposure, I'm willing to bet she'll make over a mil.

Its a decent wage most places. In NYC, it means she only needs 3 roommates to afford a decent apartment.

At $10/month, she would only need an additional 417 fans to make an additional $50k/year.

I don’t imagine anyone who makes money off of selling naked selfies would be shy about it.

Her co-workers are probably subscribed
drunkpanther
Why would she be embarrassed?
kingkongkeom
Because now everyone she has ever known googled her nude photos. It's one thing to do it in "secrecy" but exposed to the world is different.

Because despite pretty much everyone masturbating to porn, a lot of people still live to slut shame people for being sex workers. So (1

Her subscriptions probably doubled after this article!

I read somewhere that shut it down because the public exposure was too much for her
paulus1978
Thats a joke you didn't mean to make right? She left Onlyfans because of too much exposure?

Does 50k a year even provide ends meat in NYC?
spacecowboyein
Just barely. You can afford a cheap apartment or go in with roommates.
DeeDoubleYu
You can get the end meat but not the middle, and the middle is the tastiest meat.
Jawesome19
If you live outside the city maybe
hurrdurrcure
Ends meet, although I used to think it was ends meat too, my brother made fun of me about it, makes sense though
scraps0fmeat
Sorry, I make sausages and other cuts of meats, it's all meats. Want to meat up and discuss meatings?
bbchaz23
I make $60K/year living paycheck-to-paycheck. Ate canned soups, grilled cheese, and ramen noodles. I also had a roommate. Fuck capitalism
StuckInBetweeen
If you live outside of Manhattan yes. Outer areas of the Bronx and Queens, definitely.
dovo1695
It doesn't make you rich by a long stretch, but it's a middle class income. The median income in NYC about $51k.
MrZev
Min wage is $15 an hour , so 30k
scraps0fmeat
Damn, I'm single in WNY making that... sure doesn't seem like I would survive in NYC... barely being middle class here.
TheVermonster
51k in NYC is barely surviving. Just because it's median doesn't make it comfortable. You'd be in a shared apt, maybe even a shared room.
ImtheGuyWhoGotShotInTheDickByRobocop
Employment lawyer here. Employers are not custodian of employee character. Off-duty conduct is normally not disciplinable. 1/
ImtheGuyWhoGotShotInTheDickByRobocop
If she has a union then employer probably not allowed to terminate without just cause, even if it is an "at-will" state. 2/
ImtheGuyWhoGotShotInTheDickByRobocop
If the employer can terminate with notice and without cause l, there may be a sex discrimination issue. My 2 cents: leave it alone. 3/3
zylokun
Everything you said is wrong in the USA
GlebReawer
lol, they're touchy. Can't criticize the all mighty US or their brand of capitalism. No, no, no, that's a -1 :D Here's +1 back.
Lightsmith
Right to work states don't care. Theyd allow the termination
SerYoshi4
She was fired.
StuckInBetweeen
That being said employers can fire you without citing reasons or having valid reasons, so none of that matters. If they want to, they will.
CRSSWRD
Thought this depended on the state you lived it. Idk I'm not a lawyer.
ImtheGuyWhoGotShotInTheDickByRobocop
Typically only if they provide notice or pay, and even then it can't be discrimination.
StuckInBetweeen
Unless you can prove its discrimination, it's not. No fault is very common, employees in America don't have rights
TheDayTheBrainStoodStill
Presumably you're going to lend her the money for her lawsuit to prove it was discrimination?
ImtheGuyWhoGotShotInTheDickByRobocop
No but I'll Subscribe to her onlyfans of I can find it.
Aysling
Teachers and other professionals are routinely fired for the same thing, though? I've heard of it happening at least three times recently.
ImtheGuyWhoGotShotInTheDickByRobocop
Very limited (and sometimes controversial) exception where conduct damages employer's business and/or reputation.
truthsmiles
IMO, what damages their reputation is not paying her enough.
Kunitsu
probably depends on the contract you signed, alot have been including social media and shit just to cover their own asses or have an easier
ImtheGuyWhoGotShotInTheDickByRobocop
Every employee has a contract. Terms that are not written are implied by statute or common law.
Kunitsu
reason to get rid of people they dont like
ImtheGuyWhoGotShotInTheDickByRobocop
I'll add that I'm Canadian and even though we're both common law jurisdictions, employment is somehow treated differently.
crazyspelling
If you're a Canadian lawyer and don't understand how two different common law countries can treat employment law differently, that's bad.

That's not what that means. It means we both incorporated legal principles from other sources when we became independent.
WhyDoThis
US workers dont have rights. We can be terminated for a slew of reasons. Only a couple reasons they cant touch because of Labor Laws 1/2

Medical and racial are about it.

Why though? At what point did we let the people that get their panties in a twist consuming porn judge the creators and get them fired?

On the other hand, she'll probably make way more than she ever did through OF with all this exposure.
bochikiniki
In defense, you are a medical provider & hav responsibility to hold up a imagine of professionalism. That being said she should be paid more
haveyouheardabouttheseinternetmemes
No. I could MAYBE see that argument working for like a teacher or someone who's suppose to be a "role model" but a medic should only have 1

a responsibility to practice medicine. 2/2

We ARE role models....
exactedgenticles
Uh, well if med. professionals aren't getting paid a living wage all bets are off for their supposed "image of professionalism"
exactedgenticles
What about employers who don't pay living wages? That is more of a violation of professionalism imo
KinetoPlay
That would only be a defense if she were taking the pictures at work. Once people go home they're just people.
KevynDietz
What she does off the clock is her business. If it's not illegal, it's immoral to fire her for it.

They make less than $20/hr in New York City. In the words of her mayor they don't need get paid more because "their work is just different"
