Tiffany Shepherd, the 31 year old teacher who was fired from her teaching job at Port St. Lucie High School in Florida last year, after she was allegedly caught moonlighting as a bikini clad escort on fishing boats has been reportedly said of becoming a porn star.

According to sources, she goes by the pseudonym “Leah Lust” while working in the adult film industry.

“I am not particularly proud of it. To be honest I hate it. I am an educated woman. But I never thought that it would come to this,” said Shepherd. Tiffany reportedly claimed that she wasn’t able to find a teaching job since she was fired last year even after sending as many as 2,500 applications to various companies.

Hence, in a desperate attempt to earn a living, Tiffany, the divorced mother of three who had even lost custody of two out of her three children, ventured her career in the porn industry.

“I need money for the appellate court and raise my three kids. I tried everything, every avenue. Last year I refused $10,000 to strip, then I had to pick between paying rent and buying Christmas presents,” said Tiffany. Inside sources suggest that it was Gil Coombes, the owner of the fishing boat charter with whom Tiffany worked as the bikini mate, was the man who had taken her to the porn industry. Gil and his wife reportedly owns a porn web cam studio titled as KLC productions and Tiffany/Leah Lust has appeared in several porn clips under the KLC banner.

The 31 year old teacher turned porn star has reportedly expressed her unwillingness of joining the porn industry.
