The Lebanese Pornstar: Mia Khalifa’s Rise to Infamy
Mia Khalifa, the infamous Lebanese porn star, has been making headlines for years with her provocative and taboo-breaking performances. Born in Beirut in 1993, Mia moved to the United States in 2000 and would go on to become one of the most controversial figures in the adult entertainment industry.
Mia’s rise to stardom began in 2014, when she was just 21 years old. She started performing in pornographic films, quickly gaining a massive following due to her exotic looks and uninhibited sexual performances. Her early scenes showcased her taking on the biggest cocks in the business, often with multiple partners at once.
But it was Mia’s OCT 2014 scene with Julie Simone’s Angels label that really launched her into the stratosphere. In it, she is seen enthusiastically giving head to a well-hung black guy, slobbering all over his massive shaft and taking it deep down her throat. She then bends over and takes a hard pounding from behind, letting out loud moans of pleasure as she’s stretched open.
The scene became a viral sensation, racking up millions of views and cementing Mia’s status as the “hottest newcomer” in porn. But it also sparked outrage in her home country of Lebanon. Many were appalled that a woman from their conservative, Muslim-majority nation was engaging in such vulgar acts.
Mia was undeterred by the backlash. If anything, it made her more determined to push boundaries and challenge taboos. She began seeking out more intense scenes featuring even bigger and blacker cocks. Her fans couldn’t get enough, as she regularly topped the most searched and most viewed lists on porn sites.
One of her most notorious scenes from this period was with black porn star Flash Brown. In it, Mia is seen giving an enthusiastic blowjob, slobbering all over Flash’s huge dick and taking it down her throat. She then lets out screams of pleasure as he pounds her hard from behind, her eyes rolling back and tongue lolling out.
But Mia’s biggest controversy came in 2015, when she began performing in scenes wearing a traditional Muslim hijab. The most famous of these is probably her Christmas 2015 scene in which she wears a black hijab and bends over to get fucked hard by black pornstar Nat Turner. As Nat plows into her from behind, Mia lets out loud moans, her hijab falling off as Nat’s huge black cock rearranges her guts.
The scene sparked furious outrage in the Middle East. Death threats were made against Mia and her family. She was called a traitor to her faith and culture. But to Mia, the outrage only made her more defiant. “I’m proud of who I am,” she said in an interview at the time. “If people are offended, that’s their problem.”
Mia would continue to be porn’s most controversial star over the next few years, performing in increasingly outrageous scenes. She began to branch out, launching her own clothing line and esports company. But in 2016, she announced she was retiring from porn.
Since then, Mia has largely stepped away from the adult industry, focusing instead on her other ventures. Some have speculated it’s due to the backlash from her home country. But Mia has never confirmed this. As for what the future holds, only she knows. One thing’s for sure though – Mia Khalifa’s impact on the adult world will be remembered for a long time to come.
