A few weeks after breast surgery, she was walking through a shopping center in Miami when a car stopped next to her. The window rolled down, someone told her she was gorgeous and handed her a card, and asked if she wanted to model. She went home, googled the company, and found out it made porn.

Mia Khalifa was born in Lebanon and moved to the US when she was about 10. Two weeks after she started school, 9/11 happened, and her classmates started calling her “the terrorist.” In college her weight dropped to 98 pounds. She says she grew up never feeling pretty and craved male attention.

Two weeks later she called back. She thought it would be her dirty little secret. She had 400 friends on Facebook, so who would ever find out?

In late 2014 she shot a scene wearing a hijab. Within three days her Instagram went from 400 followers to 200,000. ISIS sent her a photoshopped picture of her head on a beheaded body. She joked about it online. A week later someone posted a Google Maps image of her apartment, and she lived in a hotel for two weeks.

In the video below she tells both stories herself, the card from the car and the night she realized they knew where she lived.

In the same interview she says she still hates leaving the house. When fans ask for a photo and thank her for her “work,” it makes her feel dirty.

She also admits she kept the link in her bio after she quit, because she needed the money. Asked what she’d tell young girls, her first answer is “Don’t do porn. Don’t ever do porn.”

Three years later she was back, selling adult content to subscribers.

So was she a victim of her own fame, or did she learn to sell it better than anyone?
