Forced out of teaching job, former St. Lucie educator turns to porn
Tiffany Shepherd became a minor Internet sensation a bit more than a year ago when she lost her job teaching biology at Port St. Lucie High over her second job, serving drinks as a bikini mate on a fishing charter (shown at left).
Fifteen months later, she's still unable to snare another teaching job. She has lost custody of two of her children, and she has been evicted from two apartments.
So Shepherd has turned to another profession where her looks matter most. She's now starring as Leah Lust in porn films. Page2Live.com, a Palm Beach-area gossip Web site, caught up with Shepherd to talk about her latest turn.
“I’m not particularly proud of it. To be honest, I hate it,” Shepherd told the site. “I’m an educated woman, but I never thought it would come to this. No one gets brought up thinking they’ll be a floozy.”
