Mia Khalifa is a Lebanese-American social media personality and retired porn star.

When she initially appeared at Scoreland in late 2014 she appeared under the name Mia Callista. Score billed her as the "Busty Girl Who Works Behind The Counter At The Hamburger Joint" and after her first solo photoshoot, she appeared doing hardcore sex scenes. Shortly afterwards she appeared at Bangbros as Mia Khalifa. She received significant global attention after her career choice was met with controversy in the Middle East, especially for a video in which she performed sexual acts while wearing a hijab. She went on to become the most popular porn star in the world before retiring in 2015. She is now a social media personality, sports commentator and mainstream model.

Early life and education

Khalifa was born in Beirut, Lebanon and moved with her family to the United States in 2000. She moved to Montgomery County, Maryland as a teenager and a few years later graduated from the University of Texas at El Paso with a Bachelor of Arts degree in history. Her family is Catholic, although she is no longer practicing.

Career

Khalifa entered the adult film industry in October 2014. She had been working at a local fast food restaurant when she was approached by a customer and asked if she ever wanted to be in pornography.

On December 28 that year, Pornhub revealed that she was the #1 ranked porn star on their website, replacing Lisa Ann. Her newfound notoriety quickly drew strong criticism from many in the Middle East, who branded her career choice as shameful and Khalifa herself a disgrace to her country.

Media attention

In one of her videos filmed by Bang Bros, Khalifa is seen wearing a hijab (part of the traditional female Muslim dress) while describing it as "problematic" and "gross". Many took offense to the depiction, insisting that she was purposely putting Islam in a bad light. She has received death threats as a result of the video. Khalifa in an interview with the Washington Post said the controversial scene was satirical and should be taken as such, claiming that Hollywood movies depicted Muslims in much more negative lights than any pornographer could. She has also said that her parents have stopped speaking to her because of her career choice.

Many supporters have come out defending Khalifa's decision to become an adult performer. She 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. What I once boasted to people as being the most Westernized-nation in the Middle East, I now see as devastatingly archaic and oppressed."

Achievements

With more than 1.5 million views, the 21-year-old Khalifa became the most searched-for star on adult movie site Pornhub. According to data from Pornhub, from January 3 to 6, 2015, searches for Mia Khalifa increased five-fold. Around a quarter of those searches came from Lebanon, with substantial searches also from nearby Arab states of Syria and Jordan.

Personal life

She has also said that her parents have stopped speaking to her because of her career choice. In a statement, her parents disassociated themselves from her actions saying that her entering into the porn industry was due to living in a foreign country which had a different culture than theirs and her actions did not represent her upbringing. They also said that they hoped that she left her career saying that her image did not honor her family or her home country.

Khalifa is a fan of Florida State Seminoles football. She attempted to recruit Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller to transfer to Florida State through social networking.

In popular culture

  • On January 6, 2015, Timeflies released a song titled "Mia Khalifa" in homage to her. In response, she posted a YouTube video of herself twerking to the song.
  • Almaza, a Lebanese brewery, ran an ad showing an Almaza beer bottle next to Khalifa's signature glasses, with the slogan: "Both of us are for adults only."
