Michaela Roth: Teacher’s Model Pictures Cause Italian School Controversy

An Italian kindergarten teacher’s risque model pictures are causing controversy with parents. American-born Michaela Roth’s modeling shots have caused several parents to remove their students from the Castello di Serravalle school in Bologna after a local newspaper revealed the images.

Roth doesn’t understand the controversy. She claims, “For me being a model is my second job. I do shoots when school is over and especially in the holidays when I am back in the United States. I am always dressed in the pictures and never naked.”

She doesn’t want to give up her modeling life, explaining, “Maybe I could have been a model but I just love being a teacher. I think there is a little bit of envy going on here and it has gone over the top.”

One parent told the local newspaper that “[Michaela Roth] is too attractive and I don’t want her teaching my son.”

In response, Roth said, “I imagined I might get some criticism but I never thought parents would take their children out of the school.”

Roth has also won several modeling contests, including “Miss Mamma Italiana” and “Miss Culetto D’Oro” (Miss Golden Ass).
