Lauryn “Pumpkin” Efird says she was blindsided when a Georgia private school withdrew her daughter Ella’s acceptance after learning about the reality star’s OnlyFans content. Efird told TMZ she was called into a meeting last Friday and was reportedly informed the school felt her social media didn’t align with their values — and that they would refund the family’s money.
According to Efird, the school completed the admissions process without ever flagging her account, then reversed course at the meeting. She says Ella — who had been excited to start at the private school — was left waiting in the front office and unaware that her acceptance had been rescinded.
Efird says she’s weighing her legal options, arguing the school should have disclosed any concerns about her OnlyFans before admitting her child. The “Mama June: From Not to Hot” alum told TMZ she is exploring whether a lawsuit is warranted over how the situation was handled.
“They should have told us up front — my daughter didn’t deserve that surprise rejection,” Efird said, according to her account of the meeting.
Page Six reached out to Efird and the school for comment but did not immediately hear back. For now, Efird says Ella will be homeschooled while the family figures out next steps.
Efird launched an OnlyFans account in March and has since announced plans to post more explicit material. She previously said she would begin releasing what she described as “hardcore” content — including girl-on-girl scenes and possible threesomes with her boyfriend, Darrin Kitchens.
The subscription platform has proven lucrative for Efird; she told TMZ she’s earning between $14,000 and $15,000 per day from her OnlyFans page. That success is part of why the move has drawn public attention and scrutiny from the private school’s administrators.
Efird publicly criticized the school’s handling of the admissions reversal on Facebook, saying the episode could have been handled with more transparency and consideration for Ella. She wrote that her daughter deserved better than to be left waiting in the office while adults decided her fate.
Efird’s mother, Mama June, expressed reservations about her daughter’s new career move, warning that not every money opportunity is the right one and raising concerns about how Efird’s grandchildren might encounter the content later in life. For now, Efird says she’s focused on her kids — and on whether to pursue legal recourse against the school.
