Bikini teacher Tiffany Shepherd is opens up about bikini photos and why she thinks she was axed from her teaching job at a high school in St. Lucie County.
Tiffany Shepherd, who was fired last year after photos of her working on a charter boat in a bikini were discovered on the internet, has appeared on "The Tyra Banks" show this week.
Tyra said: "Take a look at these photos of Tiffany. She's a high school biology teacher and she says she was fired after she took a second job as a bikini mate on a charter fishing boat."
Tiffany Shepherd, who still works on the charter boat, said: "Once it all came out, they (the school district) came back and said that they let me go because of unexcused absences, which was not true."
Tyra asked: "I don't think it's the most gross thing for you to be on a boat with a bikini on, honestly I honestly don't. But I'm a little confused why the school thought it was so bad?"
"Well you know there were rumors that went around. People are mean. They want drama. So they tried to say that I was doing porn, had websites. All this stuff. All I was doing was going fishing," Tiffany Shepherd replied.
