Former HS Teacher Tiffany Webb Loses Job From Seductive Photos From 12 Years Ago
Many say she is just too hot and sexy to be teaching and maybe that is why she no longer has her teaching job now.
Reports say Tiffany Webb, who is a highly regarded guidance counselor at Murry Bergtraum HS for Business Careers downtown, was fired after 12 years with the Department of Education. Its all because photos of her in lingerie and bikinis from an early career as a model have still been floating around the Internet. It's kind of hard to imagine photos from before the turn of the century are making there way back into her life.
Tiffany Webb is now 37 and says she posed as a model for lingerie from ages 18 to 20, but stopped modeling several years before she became a city teacher in 1999. Her teaching career has included working in elementary, middle and high schools.
But the photos — virtually all Photoshopped or altered, she says — kept popping up without her permission on sleazy sites such as “Mo Girls Entertainment” and “Showgirlz Exclusive,” even though she demanded their removal.We can tell the photo above and some online are altered.
Webb disclosed her former career when first hired. Yet she was investigated by the DOE three times — and twice spent a year in the “rubber room” — while officials probed the photos.
Each time, she was cleared to return to work with students.Though she received good ratings, and was respected at Murry Bergtraum HS, her ex-principal Andrea Lewis claimed that a student showed her photos of Webb.
It was last year on Dec. 23, just days before Webb was to get tenure as an $84,200-a-year guidance counselor, is when she was dismissed for “conduct unbecoming” a DOE employee.
“The inappropriate photos were accessible to impressionable adolescents,” a three-member chancellor’s committee ruled by 2-1. “That behavior has a potentially adverse influence on her ability to counsel students and be regarded as a role model.”Some former fellow employees state she should not be punished for her actions years ago.
Consequently, Tiffany Webb has changed her name and taken a teaching job in New Jersey but she's not done with the DOE. She is now suing the DOE in Brooklyn Supreme Court, charging:
- wrongful termination
- sex discrimination
- violation of First Amendment rights
“I am a dedicated professional and enjoyed being a guidance counselor,” she told The Post. “I did my job well, and my students and parents thought very highly of me. I would love to return to the DOE and resume the career I have chosen to help and guide students.”Well, we can understand if its true that the photos are resurfacing without her permission that this would be an issue. If she has left that life behind her and has proven this by her work as an teacher, then she should not be punished. But had she really left that kind of life completely?

After a quick search on the Interwebs, however, it appears that the counselor was also known as Tiffani Webb and was talking about modeling as recently as 2008. Writing for The Black Urban Times, she did admit that she was finished with modeling work and wanted to serve as a role model for young women who aspired to enter the profession. Webb is also the host of YouTube talk show series "Girl Talk NYC."Source
