New York teacher who says she was fired 'lost everything' over topless selfie.
after a topless selfie from 2016 circulated around the school where she taught can't believe she lost everything she "worked so hard for over a selfie," she told ABC News in her first sit-down interview since the incident.
Lauren Miranda, 25, a former math teacher at Bellport Middle School on Long Island, said she took the "old" photo one morning when she was getting ready in her bedroom and sent it "to the person she was seeing at the time." She never expected it to go public, she said. "I think when anybody sends a picture they only expect it to be received by the person that they sent it to and nobody else," Miranda said.The photo then resurfaced three years later, she said, adding that she found out from a colleague who texted her on Jan. 11, saying, "The kids...are saying they have a naked photo of you."
The Monday after that, she was placed on home assignment without the opportunity to prepare her students for their quarterly exams. "I literally was told to stay home, to lay low, to not talk to anybody — anyone at the school obviously," she said."How it got out is still the million-dollar question," Miranda said.
