About Mia Khalifa in brief

Summary Mia KhalifaMia Khalifa is a Lebanese-American media personality, webcam model, and former pornographic actress. She came to widespread attention after the release of a BangBros scene in which she wears a hijab during a threesome with Sean Lawless and Julianna Vega. The scene brought Khalifa instant popularity, as well as criticism from writers and religious figures, and led to her parents publicly disowning her. Khalifa received online death threats after she ranked No. 1 on Pornhub, including a manipulated image of an Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant executioner preparing to behead her. In January 2015, Khalifa signed a long-term contract with Bang Bros. In July 2016, a Lebanese brewery ran an advertisement showing a bottle of their beer next to Khalifa’s signature glasses, with the slogan: ‘We are both rated 18+.’ Khalifa herself said of the controversy: ‘Women’s rights in Lebanon are a long way from being taken seriously if a Lebanese American porn star that no longer resides there can cause such an uproar’ She was born in Beirut and moved with her family to the United States in 2001, leaving their home in the wake of the South Lebanon conflict.

She attended Massanutten Military Academy in Woodstock, Virginia, and later graduated from the University of Texas at El Paso with a BA in history. She has talked about being bullied at school for being \”the darkest and weirdest girl there\”, which intensified after the September 11 attacks. She describes herself as a’very conservative’ Catholic, although she is no longer a practicing Catholic. In an interview with The Washington Post, she said the controversial scene was satirical and should be taken as such, claiming that Hollywood films depicted Muslims in a far more negative light than any pornographer could. She said: ‘As a sentient human being with agency, who lives halfway across the world, she is in charge of her own life and owes absolutely nothing to the country where she happened to be born. I now see as devastatingly oppressed. What I once boasted to people as being the most Westernized nation in the Middle East, I now as devastatingfully oppressed’ She is married to a British-Lebanese man, and they have a son, a son and a daughter. She is the daughter of a Lebanese mother and a Lebanese father.
