American educator who changed her name to Nkechi loses teaching job after it was uncovered that she has Only Fans page

An American educator formerly known as Rachel Dolezal has been sacked from her position in a local school district after it was uncovered that she has an Only Fans page. 

Dolezal, who legally filed to pick a Nigerian name Nkechi Diallo in 2016, had been teaching at an elementary school in Arizona since August 2023, according to a report from News4 Tucson.

She was fired this week after her OnlyFans account was brought to the district’s attention, as its posts are “contrary to our district’s Use of Social Media by District Employees policy and our staff ethics policy”, said Julie Farbarik, the district’s director of alumni and community relations. The account was linked in Diallo’s public Instagram profile.

“We only learned of Ms. Nkechi Diallo’s OnlyFans social media posts yesterday afternoon,” Julie Farbarik, a spokeswoman for the Catalina Foothills Unified School District #16, said in a statement. “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.”

On Tuesday, NBC affiliate KVOA reported that Diallo was an employee at the Catalina Foothills School District and was linked to an OnlyFans account. The outlet noted that explicit images appearing to be Diallo were being shared on Reddit.

An Instagram account with Diallo’s name and former name includes several mentions of an OnlyFans page, where she posts “creative content and [gives] fans a more intimate look into my life” for a $9.99 per month subscription fee. The link to the OnlyFans account includes the name Rachel Dolezal.

According to district board meeting records, Diallo was hired as an after-school instructor, effective on Aug. 9, 2023, reports the Arizona Daily Star. The contract would run through May 24, 2024, and pay $19 an hour. 

Diallo was the center of controversy in 2015. She identified as Black, despite being the daughter of two White parents. She later resigned as president of the NAACP chapter in Spokane, Wash. amid the scandal. 

In November 2015, she admitted on The Real that she was “biologically born White to White parents, but I identify as Black” and said she began identifying herself as Black in 2006. She also published a memoir, In Full Color: Finding My Place in a Black & White World.

In 2017, The Guardian reported that Diallo legally changed her name. A week later, Reuters reported she changed her name to Nkechi Amare Diallo, citing court records. A judge granted her request in October 2016.
