Indiana mechanic, 24, is FIRED for creating an OnlyFans account on which she shared X-rated photos and videos to supplement her income

An Indiana mechanic has been fired after management found out she was making amateur pornography. 

Kirsten Vaughn, 24, was let go from the Don Ayres Honda dealership in Fort Wayne in mid-February, about a month after she created an account on the website OnlyFans and began posting explicit material. 

OnlyFans allows users to share content behind a paywall, with 'fans' having to fork out for a paid subscription in order to gain access. The website has become popular for adult entertainers, who can easily earn money without going through a middleman.    

Vaughn told BuzzFeed News Saturday that she was devastated to be let go from the dealership, stating: 'I was a phenomenal employee with a perfect record that never got in trouble. 

 'When I went to work and I was on the clock, I did my job and I was good at it. I was appropriate when I was at work. I wore my uniform. I did what I had to do.'

However, she did admit to sharing some explicit photos to her account while in uniform and inside the dealership's bathroom on her OnlyFans account. Vaughn told the publication 'she took pains to obscure any logos or identifying features'.

Vaughn set up an OnlyFans account, where 'fans' can subscribe to her X-rated content for $15 per month 

Vaughn says that she was sexually harassed by several of her co-workers at the dealership after they discovered her OnlyFans account. 

'I had a coworker come up to me and... he was telling me how the salesmen were all huddled up in a group, and that he had come up to the group and they were on an OnlyFans page,' the mechanic told BuzzFeed.

'They literally would not shut up about my page. I begged them to not tell anybody, and they would laugh in my face and say, 'Ha ha ha, we're helping you make money. Shut up.' 

Prior to being fired, Vaughn met with management, who questioned her about her explicit online account. 

They allegedly discussed ' the harm Vaughn's OnlyFans account could do to the reputation of their business.'

In one recorded conversation, the dealership's HR manager said that Vaughn seemed to have create a situation which would encourage her coworkers to harass her. 

'If there were coworkers over there who had access to your page, that might encourage them to approach you with unwanted sexual conduct or comments,' the manager is heard saying to Vaughn on the audio recording.  

Vaughn was later terminated for 'violating company policy'.

Vaughn did admit to sharing some explicit photos to her account while in uniform and inside the dealership's bathroom on her OnlyFans account. In this tweet she writes that she 'got down at her dealership'

'To me it just does not make sense that they're so concerned about their image and they're so concerned about [my OnlyFans page], but they just let [other] things slide,' she said, referring to the workplace harassment to which she was allegedly subjected. 

However, Vaughn is not the only Don Ayres Honda employee to appear in X-rated OnlyFans content. 

One male worker allegedly appeared in a raunchy video uploaded to his girlfriend's OnlyFans page, and was not reprimanded. 

Meanwhile, another female employee says she quit the dealership in February after she was harassed for uploading explicit content the website. 

 Vaughn says she does not regret creating an OnlyFans account, despite losing her job. 

She says she is making more money from posting saucy content than she ever did as a mechanic. She wants to use the funds to open up her own dealership. 

While Vaughn created her OnlyFans account prior to the coronavirus crisis, hundreds of out-of-work people have now also begun sharing their own explicit content on the site to make up for lost income. 

According to The San Francisco Chronicle 60,000 of them new creators signed up during the month of March - although not all will be sharing X-rated images and videos. Others share music, art and their writing in exchange for money.
