Footy WAG claims she had to move on from her job because of her social media posts

The girlfriend of an AFL player has claimed she felt she had to leave her job because her employer didn't like her rising social media profile.

Paris Tier, the partner of Greater Western Sydney Giants player Conor Stone, revealed on her podcast WAG: Women and Goals that she changed jobs because of her TikTok posts.

She was working in sales merchandising at a time when she wasn't creating much noise online because she had few followers.

But her relationship with Stone changed that and her posts quickly gained traction. 

Tier's social media content – which had nothing to do with her employment – started attracting 30,000 views or more.

And that's when she believes things changed at work.

'I got a call from a colleague and she said, "Our boss has called me saying you can't work tomorrow because somebody has complained about your TikTok",' Tier told News Corp.

Tier was told the complaint was not made to the company that employed her directly, but the one that she was contracted to as part of her role.

The post that attracted the complaint was about an NRL player. Tier later deleted the video. 

She asked the company's HR and media departments whether her social media presence was an issue. 

'I was a little bit disappointed because when I messaged [my boss] about it, she said it was nothing,' Tier said.

She consulted an employment lawyer while she was on two weeks' leave after she was told she 'wasn't the right fit for the role'.

Tier said she quit the role just before she was sent a letter of termination, and claimed she still has no idea where the complaint came from or if it was even real.

The footy WAG is now happily working in a new industry, but believes employment contracts should highlight potential issues regarding employees' social media use.

She also hit out at assumptions that WAGs are often unemployed stay-at-home mums who don't 'have half a brain cell'.

'People have assumptions because we don't post our work, but how can people post their work when individuals do something like this?' she said.

'It's not fair.'

Tier revealed in July that she moved in with Stone earlier this year and said they were 'putting together a rental prenup'.

Tier's contract with the 23-year-old wasn't just about protecting property – it was also about preserving their romance.

'If you're living together for two months and your boyfriend starts farting, that's going to de-romanticise the relationship a lot, which is something I don't really want to happen,' Tier explained.

'So I would write in the prenup, "I don't want you to fart in front of me".'

Tier has also hit out at the hate players' partners get online, revealing she had received comments like 'I thought WAGs were supposed to be skinny'.

'I actually made a video and before I posted it, I was like, "Oh, I actually feel fat in this",' she said.

'Within minutes of it being up, I got like five comments… people calling me fat and saying I don't fit, I guess, the WAG criteria.'

Daily Mail has contacted Tier for comment.
