Pumpkin Considers Legal Action Over Daughter’s School

Pumpkin considered legal action after a Georgia school withdrew her daughter Ella’s acceptance over her OnlyFans presence.
Meanwhile, June’s daughter Lauryn Efird, aka Pumpkin, is weighing legal options after she said a private elementary school in Georgia withdrew her daughter Ella's acceptance over her On----- presence.
Per TMZ, Pumpkin said she first contacted the school about a week and a half before the decision and described staff as warm and communicative at first.
She also visited the school without anyone raising concerns about her online work.
That changed when administrators called her into a Friday morning meeting.
She said they told her they knew about her social media and were withdrawing Ella’s acceptance. The school also agreed to refund her money.
Pumpkin said she did not argue with the staff and responded back.
"Now that I know you guys are this judgy, my child doesn't need to be here anyway," she said.
The creator told the outlet that she believes the school should have raised concerns about her account before continuing with Ella’s application.
