Because I am old, I remember many years ago when an altporn model (I believe one from Burning Angel) was fired from her day job because of her habit of moonlighting as naked model — and brought the ACLU in to give her former employer the smackdown. I can’t remember if she won or lost her case — but apparently, it doesn’t matter, because girls are still getting fired from their dayjobs for their after hours (or long past) nudity, as evidenced by the current case of Texas probation officer Karla Escobar.
It doesn’t matter that she told her boss when she was hired that she’d previously worked as an adult model, it doesn’t matter that she’s no longer an adult model (or, for that matter, affiliated with the site her pictures appear on), or even that she’s reportedly great at her job and a pleasure to work with — she’s naked on the internet, and therefore immoral and unfit for her job.
This is progress?

If they were going to fire her on whim for it, they should never have hired her in the first place. She was honest and up front about it.
I’m more concerned with the fact people seems to think having nude pictures on the internet makes you morally unfit for your job. Should we act as though we are on the job 24/7? I think there’s something to be said for discretion, but I can’t figure out why people FLIP OUT any time they see a little nipple.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:32 amIt’s a generational shift. 30 and under have grown up online, the private/public divide is not so sharp and clear. There’s an expectation of privacy and whole separation from the professional coming from people who run very personal blogs or post photos online that are revealing or intimate.
The older generations don’t see that. The just see something to be ashamed and embarrassed of and seek to distance themselves from it.
I’ve seen the facebook/tumblrs/myspace pages of potential employees during the hiring process at my gig. Even had one person who did some gay stroke videos. I saw this, but my…older…colleagues seem to think twitter is a heart ailment.

October 24th, 2008 at 2:31 pmJust another good reason I try to keep my sex work anonymous, and even my blog anonymous from my sex work.
October 24th, 2008 at 3:41 pmWhat she does in her own time should be her own business. This is nothing more than slut shaming and discipline. The employer does not have the right to control what you do in your own time.
