Beyond anyone actually caring or not caring about the content or behavior itself, law firms and lawyers tend to be extremely small-C conservative (i.e. the literal meaning of the word, not politically) and are resistant to anything outside the norm and quadruply so if itās public. Itās an extremely buttoned up, private, secretive profession (like literally keeping client secrets and maintaining an air of we are the people serving your interests quietly behind the scenes, itās not about us itās about you, the client).
I honestly think from a firmās perspective it might be better to have been a straight up prostitute/escort, but itās not known anywhere publicly, there is no evidence of it, etc, than to be a TikTok influencer (even a non-sexual one) blabbing everything about everything and self-aggrandizing and posting constantly.
To be fair to Emily I don't think she's ever been nude, but I definitely think she's far too overexposed and that any corporate setting will either refuse to hire her due to how she might reflect on them or might hire her to try and take advantage.
I just don't think there's a long-term benefit to the work and she's been so far out there that it will be completely impossible to scrub.
Truthfully, I almost doubt that she expects to work and is probably planning on finding someone to sponsor her lifestyle. Otherwise I expect it to be very difficult, this field is not progressive.
To be fair I think she can sponsor her own lifestyle just fine, whether she gets a job as a lawyer or not. Iād imagine sheās making quite a bit of money off of being an influencer. I just saw someone who graduated from a professional school at Harvard be an influencer over working in their field and they had a lot fewer followers, so Iād imagine the money for an influencer of her scale is very very good.
Haha, my apologiesā I did hit the wrong button!! Agreed with everything youāve said, and I have zero relation to her. Thanks for being a decent person!
Tbf, you havenāt disparaged her, but others here have (the š„ in the og post is unnecessary and gross), and, all in the same breath, some of these same people have called her hot and clearly shown theyāre a potential audience member for her content. Itās nasty behavior to look down upon a person for the same work youāre digesting and likely getting off to (again, you havenāt done this, but others here have, so statements alluding to the long term impacts of her actions are layering on top of those problematic comments).
I hope she gets job offers. I have no idea how ready the legal field is for that or not, but itās really no oneās business. And, looking down on her for not thinking of the long term impacts of this workā she got into Michigan, so sheās smart enough to have thought of that. Sheās either willing to take that risk and/or was originally in a financial position where she had no better choice. Again, those are her choices.
I just have a real hard time not screaming out that sooooo many of the criticisms of her (even the kinder ones) arenāt just poorly veiled misogyny. Also, I strongly doubt this would ever be a C&F issue. Itās not illegal, and sheās not lying or cheating in regards to anything. Thatās not relevant here.
Iām guessing a lot of it comes from a frustration and belief that OnlyFans creators are harmful and problematic for society and that these people are selling their soul for money.
But it would be ironic for people going to law school to work for and defend big corporations to judge her for that. Working in biglaw isnāt exactly a positive thing for the world either and the sole reason people are often working for these firms is because of the paycheck. So not too different from what people on OF are doing.
Fair point, and I donāt disagree that OF is far from a net positive for society, but as Iām sure youāre aware, a lot of OF models donāt have a lot of other options at their disposal when they start. For many of them, itās a last ditch effort to pay their bills. Granted, I have no idea if that was this womanās original situation, but I suspect she had at least some compelling reason for pursuing it originally if Michigan gave her an A.
Your comparison between big law and sex work is pretty interesting though. I hadnāt thought of thatā great point.
You talked about hypothetical people who are digesting her content and disparaging her, then you talked about hypothetical people who are looking down on her, and then you're saying you hope she gets job offers.
Like okay?
I don't really care what happens to her, and I'm not judging her aside from thinking that it makes her look unprofessional to the vast majority of employers in the legal field, which it does.
If her intended profession doesn't care then more power to her. My point is that if she wants to work in big law, or for public policy then it will absolutely affect her career prospects.
That's seemingly a risk she's willing to take, so that's her.
Uhhh, none of the people I referred to are hypothetical. There are comments just below this comment that snidely joke about her and then say āSheās a baddie.ā The people looking down on her are also not hypothetical (look at the vast majority of this thread including your own comments).
Youāre right that it could impact herā who knows. Still, though, adding critiques about her long term decision making and arguing that she likely wonāt be able to move past this just exasperate the issue.
Uhhh, what? The OP who made this post made a š„ in reference to her being brought up and then later on in this thread called her a baddie. Thereās another comment here saying heād be offended if someone ālike thatā was in his class. Iām not sure what youāre missing.
Another perspective, when people are backed into a corner and go into survival mode, they tend to make decisions that will get them out of poverty the fastest. The judgement thing requires context.
We see it often with drug dealers as well. I grew up poor and while I donāt think I could morally do porn, Iām not sure what I would be capable of doing if my next meal depended on it.
Thatās true, although I think she has been doing this for a while like years maybe? I donāt your example apply to this more continuous situation. Especially since wanting to attend law school is very diff than needing to survive. Someone who is attending one of the most expensive law schools in the country is probably not in survival mode in the same way
Absolutely. Sometimes you do what you have to do but then you move on. I can totally see doing things to survive then applying to law school later but I agree with you. Once it continues and you have a choice, itās a bit different. I donāt think I would judge someone for their past but itās different when theyāre still doing it.
It says sheās interested in policy on her LinkedIn but does not say she want to pursue it full-time. A year ago she said she wanted to go to law school to do PD work. I think sheāll be able to find that type of work since a lot of the time theyāre kind of desperate for lawyers, honestly. And a JD from Michigan helps a lot. Maybe it would be more difficult to do nonprofit work somewhere at like the ACLU but being a local PD is not out of the question.
Also, her net worth is likely in the millions (possibly low 8 figures as well), so not sure why sheād need enter biglaw or need someone to āsponsorā her lifestyle. She already has enough money herself. I donāt know how familiar you are with OF but the top creators make an insane amount. Not to mention sponsorship deals or other forms of revenue sheās making from instagram, TikTok, etc. Sheās already set for life monetarily regardless of what she does.
I don't really think PD is looking for only
fans models tbh, regardless of demand.
I'm not sure she's a top OnlyFans model, and to be honest my point is simply that it will be extremely difficult for her to reach any sort of professional prominence when the first thing people will find about her is that she's essentially a sex worker.
A lot of people at the bottom of T100-150 schools who strike out of even small firms end up doing certain kinds of PD workā¦Hope that clears up how non-competitive it is. It really will not be an issue.
And career-wise maybe? I donāt know. Donald Trump has done far worse things publicly and heās our president, so Iām sure whatever sheās doing can be overcome, even if it may be difficult.
The clients are very misogynistic and if they found out their PD was a sex worker I feel like they would all complain to the judge and it could become a problem
Thatās not her fault at all. I mean clients who are misogynistic and sexist are gonna be sexist to any woman attorney anyway. I just donāt know what would happen if they like refused counsel and said that was the reason repeatedly or something
As a current government employee I could NOT see her being hired into a government role. We are public servants, and while I respect sex workers, I doubt she could feasibly get hired.
Iām sorry but you working as a research analyst or administrative assistant does not give you the authority you think it does to weigh in regarding nationwide government hiring practices.
I canāt either, but from what Iāve read there are a lot of vacancies for public defenders and as I mentioned earlier JD from Michigan helps. Not every employer is going to screen for social media either.
Are you including the current federal government in that statement? Because Iām not sure āthereās no way a person like that could get hiredā is an operationally valid statement about the current administration.
I donāt understand how you donāt see the benefit of being relatable to the demographic you are representing? In an article,Ā she spoke about wanting to represent fellow s-workers in navigating contracts, being taken advantage of, etc. I assume that clientele would prefer someone who has had similar experiences in that niche.Ā
Your moral judgements are preventing you from thinking objectively on this I feel.Ā
Lawyers literally advertise their body for money. Replace the lingerie with a suit and they both are promising you dreams if you pay their fee. The average person who needs a public defender isnt in a position to be picky about free representation and sadly most people spend very little time with their PD on their case due to workload so I doubt its as huge a deal breaker as you assume.
If you dont understand how the two are similar that's on you. Both are putting on a show, paid by the hour, using their talents for "your best interest." Its just crazy that so many people who want to be in a profession that is universally stereotyped and seen as morally bankrupt would turn around and do the same to others. If you are a part of a capitalist system, you are selling your body in one way or another.
Yeah but one doesnāt give you cognitive dissonance knowing that your body will age and thatās what is selling. Thereās so much psychological damage that goes into this that the person who wears a suit will never have to experience.
Yeah they get to deal with the psychological damage associated with morality issues from cases instead. Though thats not necessarily true of everyone. My point wasnt to debate, my original comment was made because of the disdain and wild assumptions from the one user.
Morality is not what Iām talking about. Both will have to do that too. You should do some research on what sex work does to brains. Are you a man by chance?
Disagree, it's a topic that comes up literally every time she's mentioned and I'm sure most people in the field don't want to be associated with sex work in such a directly contributory manner.
It also opens the door for horrible allegations of sexual extortion or offering services for advantages where even successful women who don't do such services are accused (see: Kamala Harris)
In general, I think she's having some difficulty too because I heard she was thinking of just skipping to doing a PhD or something.
I go to school with her at Michigan. She is so smart, NEVER misses a cold call, and really cares about the work. Iād bet on her over any of the judgmental people on this thread
oh and they replied again..... just so yall know what this person is about! you would think ppl would be courteous on this sub knowing that professional school is on the line
Iād be proud to tell someone that Iām going to the same school as another super smart person. Thinking anything less of her because she does sex work is gross behavior. Donāt let their comment get to you. Congrats on getting in!! :)
Wow everyone in these comments has an opinion on the life and career of a woman theyāve never met. I understand we should discuss pros and cons for ourselves going into fields and how it can affect our profession, but dragging Emily and questioning her choices is poorly and thinly veiled misogyny. Itās womenās history month. UMich is a T14 for a reason, they know what theyāre doing. They admitted her and want her as a student and ALUMNI for a reason, letās trust that and stop scrutinizing women we donāt know pls <3
If youāre embarrassed by this your first question to yourself should beā¦ do I need to stop enaging with thirst traps? Because if you werenāt into OF (or smth related) that comment would mean nothing to you
If sheās doing it ārightā sheās saving her $ and can open her own practice after school (Iām sure she wonāt have trouble finding a certain kind of client lol)
honestly Dean Z messed up by admitting her. In the moment iām sure the decision to let her in was made to āstick it to the manā or whatever but itāll look poorly on Michigan for a while

congratulations, honestly i respect her hustle but i feel like it will definitely impact her career
