TUCSON, Ariz. — The woman who gained national headlines as a white woman who identified as Black has been fired from her teaching job after it was found she had an OnlyFans site.
Rachel Dolezal, who now goes by the name Nkechi Diallo, had been an employed by the Catalina Foothills School District in Tucson, Arizona, KOLD reported.
But her employment ended after school district officials confirmed that Diallo had an OnlyFans account that had been linked to her public Instagram account.
She has had the OnlyFans account since 2021, but the district only recently learned about it.
The district released a statement that said, “We only learned of Ms. Nkechi Diallo’s OnlyFans social media posts (Tuesday) afternoon. Her posts are contrary to our district’s ‘Use of Social Media by District Employees’ policy and our staff ethics policy. She is no longer employed by the Catalina Foothills School District,” according to the Arizona Republic.
According to the agreement, employees cannot be unprofessional in their communication, which could “significantly and adversely impact the employee’s work-related reputation.”
Diallo was hired in August 2023 as a part-time, after-school extended-day instructor and as a substitute teacher, the Republic reported.
In 2014, then-Dolezal was the president of the NAACP’s Spokane, Washington, chapter. She left that job in 2015 after she admitted that she identified as Black although she was white. She was not only a civil rights leader, KVOA reported, but she also taught African Studies at the time.
She told NBC News in November 2015 that the way she styled her hair and tanned her skin led people to believe that she was Black and she did not correct those beliefs. She said she had started to believe that she was Black at the age of five.
In 2019, she was sentenced to community service for welfare fraud and ordered to pay back $8,847 that she had received for government assistance.
