Teacher Tiffany Shepherd Fired After Becoming Bikini Mate
Tiffany Shepard, a biology teacher, had to take a second job after divorcing her husband earlier this year. She is the single mother of three children, ages 2, 6, and 9.
“I wasn’t making enough money,” Shepard says of her job with St. Lucie County School District. “This was perfect because I could get paid to fish. It was easy money. In two days of fishing, I make more that I do in a week teaching.”
Shepard was one of several attractive women hired by Smokin’ Em Charters. Some of the women agreed to go topless, but not 30-year-old Shepard. “They’re under the impression I’m doing a topless charter, that I’m a stripper. I wasn’t doing anything wrong. I wasn’t in a thong, I was in a regular bathing suit,” she says.
Shepard said she began working for the charter on April 19 and four days later was told she was not to go to work at the school for the rest of the year. A school district spokeswoman Janice Karst said Shepard was fired after missing 30 days of work with unexcused absences.
Karst said the school didn’t know of the teacher’s job as a bikini mate until after she was fired.
