How I lost my job and broke my life because of a silly joke

In 2010, a high school teacher got into the pages of the international media after her dance parody, performed with a colleague during a school holiday, caused a storm of outrage on the web and real life. For the first time in eight years, a woman who lost everything because of a ridiculous joke told her story.

Christy Fitchner's name came to light after a video titled “two teachers one chair”, which is still very popular on YouTube. Her candid and seductive dance has received millions of views on the Internet, attracting the attention of most media in Canada, where she is from, in the United States and other countries, as well as outraging her parents, writes The Daily Mail.

Fitchner was eventually fired from school, where she worked for two years. Soon after, the woman lost her apartment - she had to sleep in the car or on cots in friends' apartments.

The other day, Fitchner made the first statement after the incident. She thinks she paid more than enough for her offense.

“I think people think - oh, she’ll just find a new job, as if nothing had happened. But in reality this did not happen, says the 41-year-old woman. - I lost everything. It really, really happened. "

After the video she was so brutally hounded that the teacher thought about suicide several times.

The woman now lives outside Canada with a firefighter husband and two young daughters. She sometimes works as a substitute teacher, but uses her husband's last name so that she cannot be “identified” from that fateful video. Fitchner fears that the same dance will haunt her for the rest of her life.

She is confident that she is unlikely to ever find a full-time teaching job again, and will not be able to return home to Manitoba, no matter how desperately she would like to.

Speaking of the notorious performance, she said that she was chosen along with another teacher, Adaleh Ahmed, for a parody dance. The couple donned a football uniform and came to the school gym without a script. Fitchner said she was nervous before the start. Ahmed invited her to sit in a chair and said that he would dance around her. The woman agreed.

When they reached the middle of the hall and the teacher took her place, Ahmed squatted down and grinned at her, and then began to pretend that he was engaged in intimate caresses with her. Watching this scene, the students encouraged the teachers and laughed. Fitchner said that at some point she got carried away and joined the dance, playing along with her partner.

But after the dance was over, shame filled her. The video shows how she shakes her head and shrinks.

“It was then that I realized that it was not good. I was so embarrassed, ”she said. "And my colleague stood up with his hands up, as if it were a great moment to be proud."

The video caused outrage among the parents and the Winnipeg community: both teachers were suspended from school, Fitchner was later fired, and Ahmed was not renewed. Despite the fact that the actions of Ahmed in the video turned out to be much more controversial for the public, most of the negativity fell on the woman.

Eight years later, Fitchner still suffers resentment and anger: she believes that her life was broken because of a single short incident.

“I'm just a good person who made a mistake,” she said.

Fitchner hopes that one day she will be able to restore a ruined career, but for now she is trying to rejoice in her family, which she created during this time.
