Mia Khalifa explains shocking example of how her previous career still affects her day-to-day life

Mia Khalifa explains shocking example of how her previous career still affects her day-to-day life

The former adult actor revealed that her old career still negatively impacts her in everyday life

Mia Khalifa has opened up on how her old adult content career continues to affect her everyday life.

The former porn star hasn't been in the industry for years now, having made less than a dozen adult films. But she still remains as one of the most famous and well-known names in the business.

Ever since quitting porn, Khalifa has heavily criticised the adult industry - which she first went into aged 21 - and has warned other young women not to make the same choice.

The 31-year-old is now married and makes money from OnlyFans, among other business ventures, but she still regrets making the move to porn a decade ago.

It's not like Khalifa's making a fortune off the success of her adult videos, which resulted in her being the most-searched adult actor on PornHub for a couple of years, as she only earned $12,000 (£9,650) from her films in total.

However, it looks like she's still affected by her past, as she revealed in a past interview that people treat her differently because of it.

Back in 2020, the American sat down with Smosh member Anthony Padilla for his 'I spent a day with' series on YouTube, as she candidly answered a number of questions, including how her old career affects her now.

Padilla asked: "How has being in the adult industry, even for such a brief period of time affected your day-to-day life?"

To which she shockingly replied: "People will grab me."

Shocked, Padilla clarified what she said, as Khalifa explained that it wasn't even at 'a bar or club setting', not that it's acceptable there, either.

"I'm talking about the grocery store where I just get grabbed and come up to," she added.

"They think that they own your body because they've seen your body," Padilla pointed out, which she agreed with.

She continued: "They will follow me to my car, they will grab me by my arm. When I tell them no politely, they'll call me a ***** or a s**t, or anything in the book.

"It's happened in the most wholesome of places, like waiting to get my passport stamped at Copenhagen Airport."

Khalifa further explained: "I'm standing there with my husband and this guy comes up to us. After I politely say no, because I just got off a 15-hour flight, he screamed at me that I was a b***h and a s**t in front of a line of about 45 people."

Khalifa then added that she and her husband had to stand around awkwardly after the ordeal, trying not to 'make eye contact with anybody'.

Host Padilla highlighted: "He wanted to get a photo and then he called you derogatory things because you said no."

She agreed, and said that 'they can't handle the word', after the host pointed out: "They will show you respect unless they feel disrespected,

and a simple no is enough to make them feel disrespected."
