A reporter who was fired last year from the Houston Chronicle after she was outed as a stripper has landed a new journalism job.
Sarah Tressler, 30, was fired in April as a society reporter for the newspaper after failing to inform her supervisors of her after-hours career, which she chronicled on her blog, “Diary of an Angry Stripper.” Tressler’s second job was revealed by Houston Press’ Richard Connelly in a blog posting in March.
She’s now a reporter for the San Antonio Express-News, covering “cops, crime and general mayhem,” according to her Twitter account, which has more than 1,500 followers.
After hiring celebrity attorney Gloria Allred, Tressler sued her former employer’s parent company, the Hearst Corp., which also owns the Express-News, alleging that the firing was unfair.
“I was notified … that I was being terminated because my prior activity as an adult dancer was not disclosed when I applied for the job,” according to the gender discrimination complaint filed with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. “I believe that the stated reason for my termination was pretextual in that I answered the questions that were put to me truthfully in connection with my application for employment. The true reason from my termination was discrimination on account of my gender.” Sarah Tressler, Houston Journalist Is Now A Full Time Stripper, Hired As Breaking News Reporter
The journalism industry isn’t known for the big bucks. Often young writers seek work on the side ranging from freelance jobs to exotic dancing as a supplement to their measly income.
One former society journalist, Sarah Tressler, lived a double life doing the latter, raking in around $2,000 a night.
Last March, however, Tressler was stripped of her reporting gig at the Houston Chronicle after their competitors, the Houston Press, exposed her secret identity.
But now the “Angry Stripper” has some great news.
She just landed a new job at The San Anotonio Express-News as a breaking news reporter, the Houston Press reports.
Editor Mike Leary told the Houston Press via e-mail that Tressler is the newest member of the paper’s “Go Team,” which “covers breaking news, primarily for our Website.” She started on Jan. 11.
While moonlighting as a an exotic dancer and writing under the pseudonym “The Angry Stripper,” Tressler detailed the sordid details of her nighttime clients including an anecdote about oral sex from actor Jeremy Piven while studying for her masters in Journalism at NYU, Gawker reported. Her bare-all style earned her a book deal and national tour.
Tressler is not alone. She is among a slew of professionals with sexed-up double lives.
Stacie Halas, a California middle-school teacher who wasfired for her porn star past was recently offered a new job, too. Dennis Hof of Nevada’s infamous Nevada Brothel, Moonlite BunnyRanch is interested in hiring Halas.

Tressler, in a statement obtained by FoxNews.com in May, said she was told by “many editors” that she was doing good work as a reporter.
“I don’t believe that I should have been terminated because of a claim that I did not disclose on my employment application that I worked as an exotic dancer,” the statement read. “There was no question on the form that covered my dancing.”
Allred said Tressler had been employed full-time by the Houston Chronicle from Jan. 19 to March 27. She earned her journalism degree from New York University in 2009 and later worked as a stringer for US Weekly in Los Angeles.
“In order to support herself, Sarah started performing as an exotic dancer beginning when she was 22 years old,” Allred said in a statement in May. “Her only other job at that time was as a barista at Starbucks earning $7.25 an hour. She needed the extra money to help pay for college and other expenses.”
Allred said Tressler worked as an independent contractor when she danced at exotic clubs and therefore did not need to list that activity when she applied for the full-time newspaper position.
“Sarah’s work as a dancer is lawful and is not a crime,” Allred’s statement continued. “It does not, has not and will not affect her ability to perform her job as a journalist.”
Attempts to reach Tressler on Wednesday were unsuccessful.
