A topless photo ruined this teacher’s career. Now she’s speaking out
Lauren Miranda says what should have been an innocuous photo spun out of control – and would have a different outcome for a man in her position
Lauren Miranda’s nightmare began as a school day like any other. She was teaching math during first period at Bellport middle school on Long Island, New York, when she received a text from a friend in another building. There was a nude photo going around, and kids were saying it was her.
“I just thought it was impossible,” Miranda told the Guardian. “I was almost offended that she thought it was a picture of me.”
