High school worker suspended after she's outed as a porn star

LEVIS, Que. — A high school clerical worker who moonlights as a porn star had her cover blown when a student asked her for an autograph after he recognized her from a blue movie.

The woman, known by the stage name Samantha Ardente, has been suspended without pay while Etchemins High School near Quebec City decides whether the star of Serial Abusers 2 will keep her day job.

“It’s a first in our history,” school board spokeswoman Louise Boisvert told QMI Agency. “Even if she didn’t work directly with the students, we have to evaluate the impact that this story will have on her, on the students and on the staff.”

The administrative employee was recently confronted by a student who had seen one of her films. She refused his request for an autograph and told him to keep quiet about her double life. He instead told his friends and word eventually got back to the administration.

A teacher at the school says the news of the clerical worker's secret second job dropped like a bomb at the school of 1,400 students.

“What she did was inappropriate,” said the teacher, who refused to give his name. “But it’s not illegal, either. So we told the students that there’s no place for that (situation) here and we’ll see what happens next.”

The porn star will remain on suspension for two weeks while the school board decides her fate.

Meanwhile, the producer who hired Ardente told QMI Agency he had warned her about the potential risks to her reputation.

“She was very nervous,” said Nicolas Lafleur, owner of Pegas Productions. “She didn’t want to lose her job and I don’t think she told everyone, so it wasn’t easy for her.”

Lafleur has set up a Facebook page for Ardente where people have expressed their support.
