Administrator Fired As Her Past In Porn Is Revealed

Another one gone. (HT CNews Canada)



Consider this the Canadian version of the post School Teacher Resigns After Her Past Catches Up With Her .

Pictured above is Samantha Ardente. She was recently removed from her administrator post by a Quebec school board because she was outed on her porn star past. Here's more from CNews:

"The scandal began last month when a 14-year-old student learned the clerical worker's secret after watching one of her movies. He asked her for an autograph and she refused. The boy then created a Facebook page under her name and uploaded a racy profile picture of the woman in her underwear. The boy was later suspended, as was Ardente.

She told QMI Agency she agreed to stop making porn films to keep her job, and that she was even prepared to transfer to another location. But she said talks broke down over a demand she make unspecified changes to her personal life.

"There are some things that I could not accept," she said. "I promised not make (porn), but it was not enough for them.

"I always separated my personal and professional life. I will appeal this decision."

Ardente worked at the school for nine years. The office clerk plans to find a new job, and also expressed regrets about her porn career.

"I misjudged the consequences," she said. "I did not expect the media scandal. I regret this for sure."

I give her credit for not having any affairs with students as so many other women have done. However, the fact remains that school boards are very skittish when it comes to people who have a background in porn working for them. They won't risk the controversy, or the potential lawsuits.

This could be considered a different kind of teacher scandal. From KMOV:

"A west St. Louis County high school teacher quit her job after her x-rated past was exposed when one of her Parkway North students discovered her pornographic work in the adult film industry. That raised a red flag, and district officials are now left wondering if background and reference checks are enough.

The porn-star-turned-teacher tied to shed what she calls her worst mistake – one she made more than 15 years ago. This past continues to haunt her today.

“Either way, someone's gonna find out one day, and that's just like a bad look on you when you're a school teacher,” says student Sarah Mennicucci.

In 2006, teachers and parents stood by her when she was suspended from her teaching job in Paducah, Kentucky. Her contract was not renewed.

The superintendent there feared Myers’ past would be a distraction in the classroom.

(Tera) Myers (pictured above)even shared her story on Dr. Phil, and found work at Parkway North High School the following school year.

What Myers did was not illegal, so it did not show up on a background check. District officials say none of her references disclosed her past.

Myers will be paid through the end of the school year. She will not be returning in the fall."

The Bottom Line: It's sad that she was forced out of at least two teaching positions because of her past. It's pretty evident that she enjoys teaching. However, her past will make every school board/district very skittish about hiring her should they find out. In their view she wears a scarlett letter.
