Florida Mom Sues School District Over Volunteer Ban Due to OnlyFans Account

January 26, 2023

What you need to know:

  1. Victoria "Snooks" Triece, a 31-year-old Florida mother, is suing Orange County Public Schools for barring her as a volunteer due to her OnlyFans account (linked here).

  2. Triece is a mother of two students at Sand Lake Elementary School and had been volunteering for five years before being dismissed.

  3. Triece's attorneys claim that many other parents in Orange County Schools are also involved in adult-oriented professions, such as topless dancing and online sexting.

  4. Triece's legal team is arguing that the explicit images attached to the anonymous email that led to her dismissal were "circulated … to OCPS staff and employees that were not in need of the information."

  5. The only factor listed that disqualifies volunteers in the school district is a criminal record, which Triece does not have.

Florida Mom Suing School District for Being Barred as Volunteer Over Racy OnlyFans Account

A Florida mother, Victoria "Snooks" Triece, is suing her children's school district, Orange County Public Schools, after being banned from volunteering due to her OnlyFans account. Triece, who is a mother of two students at Sand Lake Elementary School, was outed by another parent, who sent a letter to school officials.

According to Triece's attorneys, "many other parents of children in Orange County Schools are also participants in OnlyFans as well as other adult oriented professions, such as topless dancing, adult-themed acting, online sexting, among others." The suit is the second for Triece over her volunteer ban. In 2022, she sought to force the district to reverse the decision, but Circuit Judge Paetra Brownlee ruled that Triece "does not have an unequivocal legal right to participate" in the school program.

In her new complaint, Triece and her legal team argue that explicit images attached to the anonymous email were "circulated … to OCPS staff and employees that were not in need of the information," according to the Orlando Sentinel. Triece had volunteered for five years before being banned when Sand Lake Elementary Principal Kathleen Phillips learned about her X-rated side gig on the subscription-based OnlyFans.

Triece's attorneys argue that the only factor listed that disqualifies volunteers is a criminal record, which Triece does not have. Triece, whose postings were not a secret, also said she always dressed appropriately on school grounds. During a news conference Wednesday, Triece and her legal team said they filed the lawsuit to make sure this doesn't happen to any other parent. Triece said she may still volunteer in her younger child’s classroom — but only virtually.

"The main reason I’m doing this is not for myself. I can only imagine who’s been through this and couldn’t fight it and they’ve been told we don’t know how to fight this and how many people are to come that do the same exact thing I do," Triece said, according to ClickOrlando.com.

Orange County Public Schools has yet to make an official statement.
