Mia Khalifa: Ex-Porn star explains why she stopped making erotic videos
It’s quite possible that you may not know her name but if you’ve seen a porn video or two, then you must have seen her face.
Mia Khalifa was an incredibly successful porn star for a while but then she suddenly stopped filming despite being voted the most watched actress on Pornhub. She put it all away and moved unto other things.
In a recent interview with Lance Armstrong, yea the same person the world renowned cycling super star that got banned for long-term doping, and got stripped of seven Tour de France titles. We’re as shocked as you, apparently, he has podcast.
Mia says that her porn career had to come to an end when she began to receive death threats, and not just from regular people, she got them from ISIS. The Lebanese-American concluded it was time to move on.
In a video she was in, she wore a hijab, islamic extremist group, ISIS got across to her through social media, and issued some chilling death threats at her.
Mia explains to The Sports Junkie last year,
“They photoshopped a picture of me being beheaded and threatened that that would happen to me,”
She further reveal that she had to be strong, not to show weakness,
“because you can’t show weakness.”
“That’s exactly what [ISIS is] looking for,” she continued, “I really try and just make it look like it rolls off, but I’ll admit, it gets to you after a while.”
Mia was featured on Lance Armstrong’s podcast that he describes as “how we fuck up in life — either we fuck up ourselves or life fucks us up — and then we figure out a way to establish a base and move forward.”
Shocking enough, her porn career only lasted for about three months, when someone came to her at Fuddruckers in Miami, she had just done her boob job, she explains to Armstrong.
“I thought about it for two weeks and made the mistake of saying yes and going in,” Mia explained.
“As soon as I started to gain popularity, that’s when I was like, ‘Get the fuck out of this’ … this was not what I was trying to do whatsoever,” she revealed.
“I just wanted to let loose and rebel a little bit. It didn’t validate me. Nothing like that ever does. That’s not what you should be doing to try and build your self-esteem.”
She also tried to explain her motive for doing it, she was trying to rebel and let loose, and then she hit fame, but she came out of it pretty quickly too, thanks to the death threats from ISIS.
