In this era of technology, social media is something that takes most of our energy and time. From posting regular experiences and updates to uploading pictures and videos of everyday life, everything has to be on Facebook and Twitter and Instagram. However, anything inappropriate related to you on social media or even in magazines and newspapers can sometimes lead to something bad, for instance, it can cost you your job. 

And in these cases, it did. 

Here’s a list of ten people who were fired from their job because of their ‘sexy’ pictures:

2. Sarah Hunter

Sarah Hunter was fired from two part-time jobs because she was working as a fetish model. 

Sarah Hunter, a fetish model by profession was fired not once but twice from her part-time jobs as a restaurant hostess and a waitress and that too in two months time. In an ‘at-will employment state’ like Pennysylvania, employers can fire anyone they desire by giving any reason, as long as they are not discriminating the employee. “I know plenty of very educated, very intelligent women, myself included, who get into the sex industry because it’s what they enjoy, it’s what they like and they’re good at it. But that doesn’t, in any way, make someone less capable of doing any other kind of job”, Hunter said.
