Ex-Teacher Turns to Adult Films After Firing Over Bikini Photos

Tiffany Shepherd, 31, who was fired from her teaching job at Port St. Lucie High School last year (coincidentally after pictures of her as a bikini-clad "mate" for a charter fishing boat operation were discovered), has given up finding a new teaching position after thousands of resumes have been rejected. She's changed her name for her new career, as well: Leah Lust.

While Tiffany Shepherd (AKA Leah Lust) lost her teaching position, the school district originally said it wasn't related to the bikini pictures. In fact, they said, the termination was because of more than 30 unexcused absences from work.

Although the charter she worked for advertised that some "mates" worked topless, Tiffany Shepherd insisted that she did not do her mate's job topless.

Quite obviously, you might surmise with the moniker Leah Lust that Tiffany Shepherd has entered the world of adult films, and you'd be right. She turned to adult films, she said, after sending out 2,500 resumes without landing a new teaching job. Also, since her firing, not only has Tiffany Shepherd been unemployed, she's lost custody of two of her children.

Interestingly, despite her claims that she never appeared topless for her charter boat gig, it's the boat's captain that claims to have introduced Leah Lust, er Tiffany Shepherd to the biz.

Gil Coombes, and his wife Kat, besides owning the charter boat Smoking 'Em, own a porn webcam studio, KLC Productions.

“We sat down with her and told her she’d never get a teaching job again. So I told her, use ‘em before they fall to the ground. But God, does she need to work on her acting!”

Tiffany Shepherd says she's not proud of her new career as Leah Lust, but I'd have to ask: you were OK w/ the bikini-first-mate gig? At any rate, she said:

“I’m not particularly proud of it. To be honest, I hate it. 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.”
