Paige Duke Fired as Ms. Sprint Cup due to Private Nude Photos of Her Taken While She was a Freshman in College Surfacing on the Internet

     This week, Sprint fired twenty-four year old Paige Duke from her job as Ms. Sprint Cup due to a violation of the morality clause in her contract. WSOC TV Charlotte and numerous other media sources report that six years ago, while a freshman at Clemson University, Duke sent nude pictures of herself to her boyfriend. These pictures were private and never intended for others to view. Recently, however, the pictures appeared in mass emails and across the internet. Ms. Duke contacted her ex-boyfriend who has denied any knowledge of the pictures being published. Ms. Duke, her family, and family lawyers are seeking the source of the photos and contacting websites to have the nude photos removed.

     Ms. Duke has been devastated by the pictures surfacing and her firing, but she understands Sprint’s position. Many fans, however, have come out in support of Duke and want her reinstated. Regardless, Ms. Duke views this as an opportunity to reach out to teens and college students and warn them about the possible consequences of sexual texting and emailing, and to hopefully prevent others from making the same mistake.
