A CATHOLIC nursery school teacher turned OnlyFans star is set to sue the dad of a pupil who got her sacked after leaking her X-rated snaps.

She was suspended without pay from her job at a nursery in north Italy after refusing to delete the account before being sacked.
Although she fought fiercely to stay, church leaders said her adult content had exposed the school to "reputational risks".
Now Elena is suing the dad she says found her OnlyFans profile and leaked the subscriber-only pictures to a football fans' group chat.
The racey snaps spread like wildfire before the dad's wife reported the miss to the school authorities.
Elena said: 'There are parents who accused me, but they are the same ones who paid to see me. It's embarrassing.
"They made me look like a harlot, but who is the immoral one?
"I want to give voice to all those women who, like me, have felt condemned or punished for doing things that men also do without facing any consequences.
"Me, who can do what I want with my body in my spare time, or them, who pay to watch and then condemn?
"I'm tired of the injustices I've suffered."
Elena also filed complaints against three social media users for allegedly defamatory comments posted after the revelation broke.

The miss turned OnlyFans star is also facing a second legal battle in an appeal for financial compensation against school officials who she says dismissed her without reason.
She said: "Despite everything, I miss the children - but not the problems related to that job that I loved.
"But today I would not go back."
School authorities said her contract would be terminated "for just cause with immediate effect.
It claimed that her OnlyFans account "contrasts with the Catholic inspiration that guides the educational direction of the school".
The controversy was unearthed after the father of one of her pupils allegedly bought photos from her OnlyFans.
Maraga claims that the man's wife found out after he distributed the pictures to a football group.
But the 29-year-old has blasted the way her former employer handled the matter.
She said: "They attacked me, saying I was seeking media attention.
"Taking compromising photos has never compromised my professionalism at work.
"The school has never wanted to talk to me, they have always acted with letters and have never wanted dialogue.

"I am surprised that a Catholic school that preaches morality treats an employee in this way."
The Italian education ministry has signalled its intent to draw up a new code of ethics to prevent teachers appearing on adult sites, The Telegraph has reported.
Maraga told Italian media she has a degree in Educational Sciences and that she had been working in a Catholic nursery for five years.
She told Il Messaggero: "I love being a nursery school teacher, it was my vocation since I was a child."
She added that she opened the account one month ago "partly for fun, partly out of curiosity, partly to see if you could really earn money".
She said: "In one day I get a month's salary."

I am UK's most-trolled influencer, mums tell me to kill myself & say I'm too fat to live – I attempted suicide over it
AS SHE uploads her latest makeup tutorial Miah Carter, braces herself as streams of comments come flooding in. Of the thousands of messages the 22-year-old will receive, she knows at least half will be from vile trolls branding the 22 stone influencer 'disgusting' and even telling her to kill herself. 7 These messages - coming in by the dozen - are horrific. But sadly for Miah this is not a one-off. 'I must be one of the most trolled influencers in Britain,' she tells us. 'The hate almost broke me, but I am determined not to let it get to me. 'I am subjected to a new 'toxic high' of brutal 'troll targeting' every day. No one should have to live with this.' Miah says there seems to be no consistency to her trolls who she says range from just six to people in their 40s. 'I have had primary school aged children and mothers tell me to kill myself,' she says. 'It got so bad I tried three times to take my own life. If it hadn't been for my partner and mental health professionals, I would be dead. 'More must be done to protect people like myself online.' Bullied on council estate Miah lives in Reading, Berks with her boyfriend of eight years, Marley 23, a bricklayer. She grew up watching other people's lives on social media and found it an 'escape'. Trolls tell me I'm 'punching' with my hot husband & constantly ask why he's with me, but size isn't everything 'Like most people my age I have been active on social media since I was a child,' she says. 'I grew up in a council house on a rough estate and was bullied for being overweight. 'I was a big child, my dad is bodybuilder and big-boned, I was always plus size. 'I was wearing women's clothing in primary school. I was mixed race and hated for being overweight, obese and different. 'School bullies loved trying to physically assault me or verbally attack me. 'Watching other people's lives on social media was an escape.' Miah left school at 16 and studied acting at college before starting work on the makeup counter at a local Boots store. 7 7 'I was a size 24 and weighed 22st,' she says. 'I am good at doing makeup and good at selling the best makeup products for a person's skin.' Miah admits she was determined to make it as a social media influencer and in March 2020 at the start of lockdown began posting makeup tutorials on TikTok. 'I quit my job and gambled it all on social media success,' she says. It wasn't until September 2020 when Miah shared a post of herself crying about being unhappy with her weight, she went viral for the first time. 'I posted a video with no makeup, crying and upset about my size, weight and looks,' she explains. 'I didn't expect it to get a reaction and was shocked when it did.' Within 24 hours Miah had gained 10,000 followers and within a week she had another 50,000 fans. 'People praised my honesty and realness which is a rarity online,' she says. 'But there was an element of people wanting to see other people suffer and fix what was upsetting them.' The increased interest in her account prompted Miah, who at the time was a size 24-26 and weighed 22 stone, with a BMI of 50.5 to focus on losing weight and sharing that journey with fans. 'I used the TikTok fashion challenge to lose weight which is targeting your weight loss to fit into a favourite pair of jeans or dress you were too big for,' she says. Imagine being trolled by mums and kids in primary school. It was soul destroying Miah Carter 'I ate healthy lean meats and fruit and vegetables.' Miah posted updates on her weight loss, shared her thoughts, her ups and downs and fan favourite makeup tutorials. 'I was very honest, and my followers applauded that and with their support I lost four stone,' she says. When she reached 18st Miah admits she was hit by the realisation that she wasn't being authentic to her body type. 'I decided to be what I wanted to be and post about plus size positivity,' she explains. 'I could spend all my life trying to be the 'super thin' girl and hate myself or be the 'Miah girl.' 'That year I chose to be the 'Miah girl.'' When Miah hit 200,000 followers in January 2022, the trolling increased dramatically. 'I'd post a video and within 24 hours the trolls had gathered,' she says. 'I was told to kill myself and that I was so fat I didn't deserve to live. 'A six-year-old told me to kill myself. It started a rapid decline in my mental health.' Miah also lives with a skin condition known as Acanthosis Nigricans which causes her skin pigmentation to darken around her mouth and neck and found herself targeted for her suffering. She explains: 'The haters attacked my skin condition. I was told I was dirty and 'needed to wash.' 'I was told I was 'disgusting,' a 'waste of space' and a' bad example'. 'I was even targeted with racist abuse, the haters had no limits to how much vitriol they spewed at me.' Miah says many of the trolls were women and even mothers. 'Imagine being trolled by mums and kids in primary school. It was soul destroying,' she says. Within months Miah explains she had tried to take her life on three separate occasions. She admits: 'I was broken by the hate. I was just trying to share my life and be positive.' With the help of mental health professionals the 22 year old slowly recovered. WHAT IS THE UK LAW ON TROLLING? Trolls love to use public platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to sew the seeds of abuse. If you're getting horrible messages to your private inbox that's not trolling, it's bullying. Online bullying has grown by 88 per cent in just five years, with thousands of children and teenagers being targeted. But just because you have a Twitter account, doesn't mean you should have to put up with it. In October 2016, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) introduced new laws that could see those who create 'derogatory hashtags' or post 'humiliating' Photoshopped images JAILED. Inciting people to harass others online, known as virtual mobbing, is among the offences included in the guidance. Baiting – when someone is humiliated online by being branded sexually promiscuous – is also mentioned in the guidance. The CPS also announced the launch of a hate crime consultation, issuing a series of public policy statements centred on combating crimes against disabled people, as well as racial, religious, homophobic and transphobic hate crime. Director of Public Prosecutions Alison Saunders said: 'Social media can be used to educate, entertain and enlighten, but there are also people who use it to bully, intimidate and harass. 'Ignorance is not a defence and perceived anonymity is not an escape. Those who commit these acts, or encourage others to do the same, can and will be prosecuted.' Some people worry that the new guidelines on social media pose a threat to freedom of speech. But Miah credits her boyfriend, Marley who she met when she was 15, with being the inspiration she needed to live again. 'We were sitting on a bus one day and I was crying looking at the comments,' she says. 'He told me to ignore those people and to 'live my dream.' He was right. 'It was life changing.' Miah has had 'live my dream' tattooed on her arm and said that show of love from Marley was what she needed to stand up to haters. 'I used to spend hours deleting trolling comments,' she says. 'Often, I couldn't keep up with the hate. I'd delete one comment and another would pop up. 'Instead, I decided to ignore the trolls. To let the comments stay. I was not going to validate the haters by spending my time deleting what that'd written.' Miah also realised trolls actually helped her to earn money. She says: 'It's a weird situation. The more people who watch your videos the more you earn. 'If you are trolled the social media algorithms notice the 'peaked interest' and feed more potential followers and yes potential haters to you. 'I realise the haters' hate, was actually in a weird way, paying off.' A study by Avast, an international consumer brand trends company discovered trolling is on the rise. In Britain almost two-thirds of 16–24-year-olds or a staggering 64% admitted they have trolled someone else online. While studies found that impacted up to 5% of British internet users who found themselves victims of cyber bullying A 2017 Ofcom study reported that 1% of UK internet users experienced online trolling with that number increasing to 5% among Gen Z or 16-24 year olds. While in the year ending March 2023, more than 847,000 children aged 10 to 15 in England and Wales had experienced online bullying behaviors Miah, a Gen Z member, reported the hate she experienced to social media website companies but admits there is very little they could do. 'There are no universal global laws against hate or hate crimes which trolling is,' she says. 'People use fake profiles or nameless profiles. I found many people who used established platforms, but a reprimand doesn't stop their 'free speech.' In February 2025 Ofcom launched new draft guidance aimed at improving the experience of women and girls online. Dame Melanie Dawes, Ofcom's chief executive, aims to produce a "proper blueprint" for protecting women and girls online if tech first adopts it. 'I have shared my online bullying with a tech firm, but they could do nothing,' Miah says. 'The draft could work but only with international support and tough penalties. 'It's commendable but my experience shows without global agreement nothing will change. 'There is nothing the police can do, and we need to. 'That doesn't mean trolling is OK or acceptable, 'It means people like me have to endure a terrible toxic level of hate which increases daily.' Miah now has more than 3.3million followers on TikTok alone and has amassed 123.3 million in likes. The 22-year-old admits her success has been life changing saying it has allowed her to treat herself and her partner to holidays and herself to designer goods. In October 2024 Miah revealed she was to undergo a gastric sleeve surgery free on the NHS. 'I had put on weight and crept up to 32st,' she says. 'I was working hard and dealing with the hate made me comfort eat. "I had let the abuse have a physical side effect of trolling. "It undid all the work I had done losing weight when I first started on social media.' Miah underwent the NHS procedure at Kings College in London in October last year. 'I shared everything on social media and even though I was losing weight the haters have continued to attack me. Miah now weighs 22 stone and is a size 18-20. 'I feel healthier, happier, and re-inspired,' she says. 'Every day I get messages from fans all over the world. They thank me for having the guts to put myself out there on social media. 'I get praised for my confidence, my makeup looks, and my positive approach to life.' The 22-year-old now boasts deals with Charlotte Tilbury, Lancome and Maybelline and refuses to let the haters hate. 'You have to create your own tribe and be loyal to it,' she explains. 'The trolls, the haters, the so-called keyboard warriors are white noise. They are little people with little ideas. 'I may be one of the most trolled women in Britain; however, I know it has made me stronger, tougher, and more determined to stand up for people who cannot stand up for themselves.'

Shocking moment Brits cheer as two men engage in street brawl while woman begs them to stop in latest violent scene involving Brits to spark anger in Tenerife
Two men have been captured having a vicious fight on film as a crowd of Brits cheer them on at the holiday island of Tenerife. Footage from Playa de las Américas, a purpose built holiday resort, and shared to Instagram showed the men throwing hard punches at each other and dozens egged them on, with just a handful of people trying to break up the fight. It's not currently clear why the fight, which happened in the early hours of Saturday morning. Though the pair looked evenly matched, swinging their fists and legs at each other for a few seconds, one man, seen wearing a white T-shirt and blue shorts, caught the other's face with his fist which sent him to the ground. As the shirtless man was seen scrambling to safety, a British woman could be heard screaming: 'Stop it! Just stop it!' As the shirtless man was seen running, she was heard screaming: 'Please stop it, this is bullying!' He was apparently tripped up by a bystander, giving his opponent a chance to tackle him to the floor and beat him relentlessly. This gave others in the crowd the idea to join in, and several people were seen swarming the two men. The footage, shared to social media, drew heavy criticism One person, seen in a black hat, T-shirt and shorts, was spotted taking a run up before kicking the shirtless man in the back. Though the pair were initially held back from each other, giving the shirtless man a chance to breath, the video cuts to a few seconds later where he is being brutally punched in the face over and over again before they lock each other's arms up. Finally, the pair were pull away from each other. The footage, shared to social media, drew heavy criticism. One social media user said: 'Instead of calling the police or trying to separate them, they encourage him to fight the other guy. I'm really amazed at the s***ty tourism we really have.' Another wrote: 'Police security is zero, what a shame.' It comes days after two British women were caught on camera brawling in the street at a popular Tenerife nightspot with the footage sparking fury among locals. A shocking video shows the pair violently tussling on the ground in Playa de Las Américas while leering yobs cheer them on. At the start of the clip, one of the women appears to tackle the other, sending her crashing onto the tarmac. The holidaymakers then exchange several punches before finally being pulled apart by bystanders. This latest incident has intensified calls for increased police presence and tighter regulation of nightlife activity. Authorities have yet to issue an official statement regarding the altercation, but the video's widespread circulation has already reignited debates about the impact of mass tourism on public order in Tenerife's most visited areas.
