Blame Howard

Filed under: Legal Matters > Howard Stern

wenn5130840.jpg

You know when Howard Stern is involved there's bound to be controversy.

Stern held a contest this past May for the "Ugliest Dude, Hottest Wife" contest.

The winner was a second-grade teacher who ended up skipping work on a "sick day" to take part in the competition.

Marie Jarry and her husband joined Stern on his show with her wearing a bikini and talking about her sex life.

And, just shortly after winning the $5,000 prize for the contest, Jarry resigned from her teaching position at Thalberg Elementary School in Southington.

According to Jarry, she only left after being forced to resign.

So what happens now?

Obviously, Jarry has decided to sue the school officials and her union.

She has already filed her lawsuit in the Hartford federal court.

Jarry is now demanding that she be given her job back, as well as receive back pay from when she resigned.

We bet some of the parents won't be too happy to have her back.

People are prudes in the U.S.!

    It's not a question of our country being prudes - she belongs to a UNION and there are strict guidelines regarding sick days and sick pay … If she had requested an unpaid day of leave, the school district wouldn't have been able to force her out.

    Give me a break! EITHER talk about your sex life publicly to win contests OR have a job working with impressionable young children. Why do you have to do both?

  19. 19

    I'm kinda torn for this one, first off OF COURSE the school should be upset. She is a second grade teacher and the students aren't supposed to see her this way but on the other hand she has a right to say and do what she pleases. Any second grade teacher who would risk one of her kids seeing her this way is not a very good teacher. I kind of agree with the school on this one but they'll probably lose in court.

    What kind of moron thinks she can get away with that? She's an elementary school teacher. Most professionals, ESPECIALLY TEACHERS, are held to some sort of behavioral standard. I certainly wouldn't be look upon too favorably if I went on the Stern show, in a bikini, and discussed my sex life. Then again, I wouldn't be so incredibly stupid as to let everyone know about it. Anyway, the woman is an idiot and clearly lacks common sense - she shouldn't be teaching.

  23. Amy says – reply to this
    23

    This chick did nothing wrong So what if she called off work Who hasn't?So I guess teacher's are not allowed to have a sex life anymore.It's not like she was fucking a student like some teachers out there.She should get her job back and pay from when the forced her to leave.PEREZ is right SOME people in the U.S are just prudes..

    I love, love, love Howard Stern. I caught the show she was on and I would like to know how everyone found out about her bit. Listening to his show is a choice and her being on it was a choice and bragging about it was a choice- maybe a bad one. Leave Howard alone Perez

    I'll say throw the books at her and throw the lawsuit out!! She knew what she was doing when she went to Howard's show, she knew what the show was about, and I bet she knew she was going to get in trouble. It's like Perez going to a gay stripper show and then going to a priest to confess about being unfaithful to the Catholic religion. Come on, it's like asking to go straight to hell.

    I think that teacher was really stupid. That WASN'T her own time. She did it while she was suppossed to be working. TEAM SCHOOL!

    I agree with you Jul. It was about lying to get the day off. Yes, teachers have a personal life but you are in a position where you are supposed to be a role model. I cant imagine if I heard about one of my teacher's sex lives. I would not be able to concentrate on my schoolwork, just imaging my teacher naked.

    Perez…I KNOW that you're a Howad fan and listen all the time. This is very old news. Artie Lange even held a benefit show for this couple several weeks ago. She was wrongly accused of a morality issue. Stern's show is only available on closed curcuit (not on the open air waves) and she did and said nothing wrong. I heard the show in question myself. The school district reacted with a knee jerk because she was on the Stern show and then wrongly coerced her to resign "or else". Sad story. She sounded like a dedicated, talented teacher.

    Re: Amy – It's not about having sex, which you are allowed to have in the PRIVACY OF YOUR OWN HOME, WITHOUT ANYONE WATCHING! She went basically on a public radio sex show, which was transmitted all over the country. Doesn't it amaze you all of these teachers, or people in important positions, that go out to the internet or the radio and get basically naked and when they comeback to their jobs they cry the victim card when they are fired. FOR GOD SAKES, YOU ARE A TEACHER!!!! Being a role model comes with the profession.

    Re: Suze – sure, she sounded like a dedicated teacher, she only forgot she was one, I guess. And just because some perv teachers are having sex with their under aged students, it doesn't mean that what this teacher did is ok. I say do not let her comeback to her job. What's next? Does the school district have to make the teachers sing a morality clause? RIDICOLOUS.

    43

    …ohh…and on another note…all this woman said on the show was that she was very much in love with and attracted to her HUSBAND and had sex with him all the time. PLEASE….in a world where the Jamie Lynn Spears is getting pregnant at the age of 16 and she's the star of a kid's show, this one closed circuit episode is NO BIG DEAL. She's talking about how much she loves her HUSBAND! I thought she was a very classy lady.

  44. Baby says – reply to this

    If anyone listened to that episode of the Howard Stern show, they would've heard a dedicated woman who was head over heels in love with her husband. They talked about sex, but it wasn't anything dirty - it was a woman in a dedicated marriage talking about how she loves to make love to her husband. Like any other job, there are teachers who don't hold up to the high moral standards that we think they should.

    I think it's the fact that she skipped work, not what she was doing. If she were discovered getting her hair cut, shopping, or at an amusement park on a sick day, I'm sure she would still be in trouble (although probably not as much). She's not being punished for her morals (or lack thereof), but rather her lack of integrity: denying her students a day of education to be a guest on a radio show to talk about her sex life and how ugly her husband is.

    As if teachers don't have the most vacation time of any profession as it is. The problem is that she called in sick, accepted sick pay, and required the school to pay for a sub that day. Beyond that she did not get fired for the incident; she resigned. It has nothing to do with what she did with her time, she could have gone to a ball game and it would have been just as big a problem. She lied, committed fraud on the school by accepting sick pay and then quit all on her own. how is any of that anyone elses fault but her own?

    America has hang-ups regarding nudity and it's ridiculous, but the thing is, what else did this broad expect? She's a second grade teacher, teaching arithmetic to 7-year-olds is her priority and parents are gonna have a problem with her freely talking about her sex life on Howard Stern. Not a great idea on her part.

    For us working stiffs who have real jobs; yes, this issue all depends upon the language in her union contract and/or the written policies of her school district.
    I disagree that she should be fired - freedom of speech and all of that. However, if she broke a written rule about use of sick days, etc - then I guess she must pay the price.
    If you're gonna use a paid sick day, and then appear on a broadcast radio show, well then - you take your chances about getting caught! (pretty stupid on her part to believe that no one would find out about the radio show!)

    Re: eb – These people should not be judged because of the jobs they have they are just like everyone else. People are so worried about what she does outside of work & it is nobodys business even if she does go on a public radio station..It's not like she was broadcasting the show on the schools PA system.

    she could be prosecuted for faking sick b/c she is a teacher (at least that is the case in Ohio), so she should feel lucky that she only got fired

    Perez love your site and almost always agree with you. But, not on this one. Im a teacher and I understand that doing something like going on Howard Stern in a bikini and talking about your sex life, on a sick day nonetheless, is ridiculous. First there is a morality issue for sure. More importantly, something like this and the attention she brought to herself, will take the attention from what actually matters- the students and their education.
    I had a teacher friend that put something up on YouTube and the kids and parents were talking about it all year, I cant even imagine if one of us did what this idiot did.
    SHES STUPID. Unfortunately, too many teachers are.

  65. Perez says – reply to this

    Keep your opinions out of education. Would YOU want to drop your 7 yr old off in school to learn to read, write, and do math….with visions of the 2nd grade teacher doing a bikini contest/sex talk with Howard Stern??? Teachers don't have to be prudes, but they need to be positive role-models. We don't know all the details in this case….if the teacher spoke about the students or not. I bet there's more to this story.

    Re: EBRe: EB – I guess I'm kinda confused. Do you think that teachers should sign a morality clause or not? Personally, this teacher did nothing wrong. She appeared on a PRIVATE/SUBSRIPTION only radio show, and on that show, said nothing inapropraite. What's next….if a parent of a studuent sees a single teacher out at a club, dirty dancing and having a good time, should that teacher be brought up on charges??? Even THIS comarison isn't appropriate as this woman was acting with much more class and decorum. She really was a "lady" in every sense of the word….she was in a simple bathing suit….spoke kindly of her husband and acted kinda prudish actually…in a nice way. She was a stern fan (I think this is what is she's being persecuted for really), and she wanted a chance to win 5 grand to help pay for her graduate school to further her education.
