A former Texas teacher who has pleaded guilty to having sex with her 17-year-old student and later sued him over a sex tape will face off against her ex-lover and his mother on an upcoming episode of the Dr. Phil Show.
Tanya Ramirez, 31, pleaded guilty in January to a second-degree felony charge of having improper relationship with a student in exchange for seven years' probation.
Ramirez, a teacher and coach at King High School in Corpus Christi, Texas, was fired in 2014 after allegations emerged that she had a tryst with a boy from her school.
In a surprise twist, Ramirez later filed a lawsuit against the victim, identified as Tristan Price, accusing him of 'extreme and outrageous’ conduct and invasion of privacy for secretly recording their sexual encounter and then sharing it with his friends.
The complaint also names the students’ mother, whom Ramirez accused of defamation.
A promotional video for the upcoming episode of Dr Phil dedicated to the school sex scandal, which airs on Wednesday, features Ms Ramirez, Price and his mother on stage with Dr Phil McGraw.
A defiant Ramirez says the sex was consensual, Tristan is an adult and he was just fine after their encounter. In fact, her lawyer has claimed it only made him more popular, and led to his being named Homecoming King.
The 31-year-old former teacher says in the video that Price came to her house drunk one night for sex, surreptitiously recorded their amorous encounter on his cellphone without her knowledge, and then showed the video to 11 of his friends at school to earn bragging rights.
‘He wanted some kind of recognition for sleeping with a teacher,’ she tells Dr Phil.
According to the disgraced educator, the sex tape quickly 'went viral,' but Price's mother, Kimberly Tademy, brusquely dismissed Ramirez's claim.
'It didn't go viral. It wasn't that good,' Tademy says derisively in the promo, drawing peals of laughter from the crowd. 'It was only 10 seconds, baby.'
Ramirez sued Tademy last August for calling her a 'sexual predator' and accusing her of sexual misconduct with other students, KRIS 5 reported.
Ramirez claims these comments caused her emotional distress and led to her losing a job at a local Jiu Jitsu academy.
Lawyers for the former teacher previously claimed Tristan Price was legally an adult when they had sex and he also was not her student, the Corpus Christi Caller-Times reported. In Texas, 17 is the age of consent.
Authorities previously said they identified Ramirez from Price's cellphone recording that showed a woman with an eight-inch tattoo on her lower back.
Price, who started college last month, remained one of the most popular kids in school until he graduated from King, according to KRIS 6 News.
