She further alleged that a colleague (a male) uploaded material recommending genocide on his social media but wasn’t scolded for it. In addition to the sexism compliant, Presley believes she was a target, mainly because of how she appeared in a gym attire at a public gym.’
Particularly, the photos on Presley’s pages feature images of herself in firefighting or paramedic gear, along with photos of her working out in the gym.

Her outfits vary with some pictures revealing Presley wearing sports bras and others a baggy firefighter attire.
‘EFR doesn’t have a social media policy and never has.’ The Paramedic responded.
Claiming Presley shared a photo of herself at the scene of an accident, the company said it resulted in the personal utilization of taxpayer money. This action is alleged to have violated the clause of engaging in any conduct which would disparage the Fire Rescue.
The department alleged Presley took photos of their facilities and later embossed them onto t-shirts for financial gain
The department equally alleged that Presley took photos of their facilities and later embossed them onto t-shirts for financial gain.
Giving the ex-firefighter a 5day Ultimatum to remove all company-related content, Presley, however, poses with fitness equipment and earned money from companies including Nine Line Apparel, Herbstrong, and IUP Nutrition.
