^I won't comment on her experience because she lived it but I agree that she is profiting in some way from talking about her very short foray into the porn industry.

It always come back to the money. Rookies don't make big bucks right off the bat. If she had stayed, she probably would've been able to make more, but she didn't. She wanted to make a quick buck and realized that it wasn't going to work the way she had hoped. Oddly enough, if she did come back, she'd probably make a fortune now though. She still has stock. Doubt she will though.
I don't know where you got that idea because this is an industry that thrives on new blood. The smart women find themselves a reputable agent/agency who then comes up with a career plan that the model has to follow and they can earn some serious money. Of course this implies that they are comfortable with shooting porn. Otherwise nothing and no one will be able to save their chances of earning big bucks in the porn industry.

^I think his point though was that Mia not one of those rare smart ones that connected with one of the better agents and had an actual plan. Instead, like so many girls, she came into porn and left quickly somewhat disillusioned about the industry, or so she says. Her popularity has been remarkably sticky though, I guess because of the notoriety of being born muslim as well as being a very good performer in the few scenes she did.
If she did want to make a comeback, now would be a good time. I'm sure Mindgeek or VMG would pay top dollar and at the same time she could build out an OnlyFans that would be very popular if she did it right. Not that I like OnlyFans personally, but it seems to be a major part of how girls are making money these days.
I'm really just bored of seeing her crawl out from under the woodwork every time she dips back into irrelevance again. She was lucky enough to be able to spin her short career into a large following outside of porn. Now all she does is berate the industry, while keeping the porn name that made her famous, and posts photos on her IG with her tits spilling out half the time.
Just a quick note here, Mia wasn't born or raised as a Muslim. She comes from a Christian Lebanese family. She has tattoos supporting the Lebanese Forces, the Christian faction in the Lebanese Civil War.
^ "One of the videos that caused a particular stir was when the now popular Lebanese-American Instagram star, who was raised a Catholic, wore an Islamic headscarf, which caused her to receive death threats from Islamic State.
She had only been in the porn industry a few months when a director told her she would be required to wear the cultural head piece while “performing”.
“I said to him ‘you’re going to get me f***ing killed’,""
"“Mia and her team have provided countless financial offers to the current owners of her domain name and pornographic videos to no avail,” the Justice for Mia petition read"
"One of the "false statements" BangBros pointed out was Khalifa's claim that she only made $12,000 during her short stint in the adult film industry. BangBros said that Khalifa was actually paid over $178,000 by the porn company and its affiliated entities."
^Far be it for me to defend Mia because I think most of her claims are B.S but I have a really hard time believing what that person is claiming. He is saying that a studio paid her 178,000$ for the small amount of video she shot for them? F..k Me but if they actually did that then they would likely be on the way to be out of business.
"Ya know, if we were cynical, we might think that the reason she wants this press (and her prior content removed) is because it will make her adult photo business more valuable. All while using the popularity and name recognition from her video content. We're sure she'd never do anything that calculated though."LOL!
If that was 3 escalating annual contracts avg 60k to do things like promos in addition to the videos, that sounds about right. Her contracts probably had bonuses based on how much traffic she brought in with her notoriety.
She should be able to move on from her porn past just like all women who leave the industry, but in order to do that she has to let go of her porn past herself I just cant take her seriously while she still uses her porn name. She also owns the trademark for it. If you're really trying to put it all behind you then she needs to put it all behind her. Kill Mia and start going by her real name.
^ But isn't it a reality that if women who were in the sex industry want to be accepted into mainstream society they have to say they were young, naive, taken advantage of, hated it, regret it, ...
"Her unexpected fame as a result of these videos is something the now 27-year-old said will 'haunt me until I die.' She says her decision to enter the industry was one that stemmed from low self-esteem"
"Mia has now used this [TikTok] platform to label the porn industry as 'toxic' and warn other women not to be taken advantage of by following the same early path as her. Mia doesn't want another girl to go through what she has 'because no one should.'"
I'm willing to accept that a studio with a potentially hot commodity might be willing to fork over 60k but I'm less willing to believe that they would be interested in doing it when that commodity isn't exclusive to them(which is clearly the case here) and based on IAFD then she wasn't exactly performing for 3 years. I think that all parties here are using this so called controversy for their own needs and desires. Mia gets to play the poor victim of porn and Bangbros gets people to join their site to see what are now very old videos.
She was exclusive to bangbros during those contracts. She shot 28 scenes for bangbros under her own website with 11 cross-posted on their others sites. We do not have every scenes listed because we are not interested in bypassing the paywall to document them.
And women's sites and the mainstream media get their story of innocent, naive girl, taken advantage of by evil (porn industry) men, and regrets it every day of her life.
^Sadly that still happens on a regular basis in the entertainment industry but the media prefers to pick on the porn industry when they should really concentrate on the ones that are far guiltier like the mainstream entertainment industry. How many young (likely underage) girls and boys still get sexually abused in the mainstream entertainment industry and we only get the odd comments and innuendos until years after the fact when these people write a book about their time in Hollywood.
"The "infamous" glasses worn throughout her brief career has currently attracted a top bid of $US100,000 ...
Khalifa has since placed other personal items for sale and asked that those who don't want to bid but are keen to support the embattled community to donate to the Lebanese Red Cross."
I can't remember where I read it, and it was only in passing, but someone seemed to suggest she was making a comeback into porn. I find this rather hard to believe, since she's been so critical about the industry, but who knows? Has anyone heard anything about this? Or was it just idle and incorrect speculation?
I for one, do hope it's true. She had a fantastic body (as you can still see on her Instagram page) and I'd love to watch her fuck on camera some more.

Most likely only fans, she's been blacklisted by the porn industry and most know she's full of shit. There's a bunch of simps out there who still like her for some reason when she hasn't done porn in years and was only in the industry for a couple of years. Maybe, mindgeek will sign her but who will work with her. Everybody in the industry has dogged the shit out of her.
Man, IF she were to announce her intentions to shoot again for mainstream, do you really think everybody will turn her down just because she has a foul mouth? It would be a huge deal for anybody and money beats everything.

Yes, I do. Cherie DeVille, directors, and xbiz.com have all trashed her publicly. Maybe she could get some guys to work with her but she wouldn't be doing any g/g scenes unless you want a really awkward and fake scene. I know you're a fan but Mia Khalifa is super overrated and has always been. She shot for one company for a year and didn't really do shit but fuck some black guys, some b/g, and a b/g/g. Her scenes were ok at best but nothing special. I think she should thank herself and the pornhub algorithm for her longevity in staying relevant in porn.
Sasha Grey or Belladona coming back would be a huge deal and studios would go crazy to sign one of them but Mia Khalifa? Nope, she's blacklisted
^How do you know I'm a fan? I'm not a fan lol. All I'm saying that in recent history both female and male pornstars continued activity after far worse things, like explicit racism, abuse and even rape allegations. There's no such thing as unanimous blacklist from the industry. If she wanted to come back, she would have a lot of offers.
^ It depends on the extent and the reasons for she beeing blacklisted , who did that also is relevant
It's said that Tracy Lords tried to come back and that would have been why huger than any Mia Khalifa and yet she couldn't do it , nobody would want anything to do with her ever again even at the cost of loads of money, big loads.
the reason you mentioned are big for us consumers, not the Industry , the biggest Agent within it was an abuser himself and had/has a great deal of power , he could blacklist forever almost anybody , but wouldn't do it for a behaviour he shares with many
Despite her middling talents, she is probably one of the most famous pornstars in the world in terms of notoreity. Porn is a business, and if she gives revenue, no one will care.
The porn industry is in many ways the same as the mainstream entertainment industry in that they don't care all that much about morals unless it affects their ability to make money. How many actors, producers and directors are rumored(or proven) to have done things that would definitely be judged at the very least as immoral and in some cases illegal and yet aren't negatively affected for years? Actors and actresses who are normally found guilty of driving under the influence normally spend a small amount of time at a "special" clinic and then are welcomed by the industry and the public?
Why would a past porn performer( I assume popular) be blacklisted from working in an industry where studios are in it from themselves(just like mainstream)? I mean does anyone remember what happened to Marc Wallice? One of the biggest piece of shit individual the industry has ever seen and yet he was able to work in the industry long after what he did to so many performers. If there is money to be made then the industry will welcome just about anyone.
^Not sure where you read/heard that Traci Lords wanted to make a comeback and wasn't able to because I don't think that ever happened. Traci went mainstream the moment she left the industry and she had no reason to make a comeback but if she had wanted to then there isn't a single person or studio that wouldn't have welcomed her back with open arms and that includes the people who got shafted by the entire debacle. Remember that making money is the main goal and a returning ultra popular performer like Traci would have been worth millions of dollars then and now. Imagine a studio being offered the one and only anal scene starring one of the most popular performer of all time. A performer that unless you are of a certain age you have only seen in one mediocre legal video.

I seriously don't know why people are going crazy for this overrated pornstar. There are tons better pornstars then her and lots of other pornstars who would do better at a comeback. Also, her coming back would be too underwhelming for most of the people asking for her to come back. I'm 99% sure she'll be doing the same scenes she was doing before she retired.
Since her career was so short, it's hard to make too many judgements about her performance skills, but looks-wise, she's fantastic. The dark-haired look, combined with the glasses is a really cute, sexy combo, and her body's just breathtaking. Yes, she's had her boobs done (that doesn't bother me for a nanosecond, but some people will be opposed to it) but she's really, really fit. You can see it on her Instagram page; she's a gorgeous looking woman, and gorgeous looking women will always have a big following in porn.
I don't know if she is planning a comeback (to be honest, I suspect it's duff news, and she's not) but I can certainly understand why some people would be excited by the idea.
She seems to have pulled off that incredibly rare feat of achieving success post-porn. She's got a huge following on Instagram and is making a fortune as an influencer. I know a lot of people in the business have a negative opinion of her, since she's been pretty critical of the industry, but she's become quite a big mainstream success.
She's set up an OnlyFans account, which I think is a new thing for her. I don't know how explicit the content is, as I'm not a subscriber, but she still looks fabulous, so it might be worth it if she's doing solo masturbation stuff etc.
The internet will break if she decides to return to porn lmao. She won't do it, unfortunately :( ;-)
She still looks good and seems to live her best life. My favorite scene of hers is the one with Julianna Vega. Yep, the HIGHLY CONTROVSHIUL ONE!!! It seems to me that that's the scene that she herself enjoyed the most too.
About Sasha: she has done some good scenes, but most of them don't do much for me imho.

That shower seen reminded me how absurdly hot she was. It's quite rare that many stars that young have such huge tits (fake but still were awesome). He BJ skills on top of that are insane. Soft features, nice skin tone, and she only did a few scenes but sky rocketed to fame.
She still looks hot, hasn't stacked on weight, still slim and sexy. But yeah, she'll never come back of course.
She's forever posting pictures of herself on Instagram, where she looks hot as fuck. Fantastic body, absolutely fantastic. Really sexy from head to toe, but she's very down on porn these days. And, since she's apparently making a shit-ton of cash as an 'influencer', she doesn't need to come back to the business to make ends meet.
She becomes hotter every year. Maybe this is a stupid question but is it really her behind her OF?
And I don't know what to think about her looking down on porn. She still uses the same name and has, to my knowledge, never asked for her scenes to be deleted.
