People who don't know porn star Mia Khalifa are about to get more
familiar with her. The 21-year-old was just named the queen of PornHub. One of the most popular adult sites -- but not everyone is happy
about it. The brunette beauty, who was born in Lebanon, has begun to
receive death threats from her native country.
While Lebanon is widely considered one of the most liberal Middle
Eastern countries, many natives take issue with Khalifa’s porn career
and the tattoos she has that represent Lebanon, Newsweek
reported. One of them is the beginning lines to the country’s national
anthem. It reads, “Koullouna lil-watan, lil’oula lil-‘alam,” which
translates to, “All of us! For our Country, for our Flag and Glory!” It
appears on her left arm. She has another on her left wrist, which is the
Lebanese Forces Cross.
“They’re embarrassed I’m ‘claiming’ them -- as if I had a choice. I was born there,” she told Newsweek.
“I was born and raised there, I’m entitled to an opinion on the
politics just like everyone else,” she once said, according to The Lebanese Examiner.
Aside from the tattoos, some of the things that have upset people in
Lebanon is that she wears a hijab in some of her videos. It’s an insult
to some since the hijab is worn by Muslim women to show modesty an
apparent slap in the face if it’s worn in an adult video, which is
anything but modest.
But the adult star isn’t taking the criticism and death threats
quietly. She hit back at the naysayers on Twitter, some of whom called
her a “disgrace” and disgusting -- among other things. She wrote:
“Doesn’t the Middle East have more important things to worry about
besides me? How about finding a president? Or containing ISIS?”
While there are plenty of people who don’t want to watch Khalifa’s
work, she’s also garnered a following of hundreds of thousands of
people. On Twitter, she has nearly 85,000 followers and on Instagram she
has nearly 94,000. She interacts with her fans and posts on social
media almost daily.
While she’s received PornHub’s highest accolade and is probably one
of Lebanon’s most hated celebrities, Khalifa simply describes herself on
Twitter as “Unofficial mascot of the Florida State Seminoles and a pornstar in the off-season.” A similar description appears on Instagram, where she also added “Lebanese born and bred” and “dog mom of two.”
She also posted a Vine more than a week ago after she found out she
was the highest-ranked adult star on Pornhub. “WE MADE IT,” she wrote,
with the hashtag #honore
Khalifa moved to Maryland when she was 10. She received a B.A. from
University of Texas at El Paso, where she enrolled as a history major.
Before Khalifa, Lisa Ann was considered the queen of PornHub
