Mia Khalifa Details How Terrorism Made Her Quit Porn

by HHL JT

It used to be you'd only see Mia Khalifa when she was getting penetrated on your favorite adult video website.

But now she's just as likely to pop up in your Twitter feed, trolling athletes or other celebrities. 

That's because Mia quit porn some years ago.

The 25-year old explained why she stepped away during in an interview with Lance Armstrong. (Yes, the disgraced cyclist.)

“Looking back on it I don’t know what I was thinking ... I was 21 and dumb,” she told Armstrong about deciding to do porn.

“As soon as I started to gain popularity that’s when I was like ‘get the fuck out of this’ ... this was not what I was trying to do whatsoever,” she added, and then explained she wasn't even doing it for the money, like most porn girls.. “I just wanted to let loose and rebel a little bit. It didn’t validate me. Nothing like that ever does. That’s not what you should be doing to try and build your self-esteem.”

But it was a threat from ISIS that finally got Mia -- who once shot a porn scene with a hijab on, even though she was born Catholic -- to stop getting railed with cameras running.

"It all started to spiral out of control when the death threats from ISIS started coming in. That's when I stepped away."

How do you rate Mia as a porn performer?
