This is why people think I still perform.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The tweets got Khalifa to trend on Twitter Monday night and were accompanied by a YouTube video, featuring an interview she gave earlier this month \u2014 in which she \u201ctells her story for the first time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 2014 Mia Khalifa made world news when she received death threats from ISIS after appearing in an adult film wearing a hijab,\u201d a description reads. \u201cFor the first time ever, Mia sits down with Megan Abbott to tell her story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the interview, Khalifa described her transition out of porn \u2014 calling it \u201cterrifying.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t know what I was going to do,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n<p>Her infamous hijab scene \u2014 which was\u00a0still garnering ISIS threats as of August 2018\u00a0\u2014 is what ultimately made Khalifa leave the business.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe turning point, of course, was when I did the hijab scene,\u201d she said. \u201cThat is when the ISIS death threats came in, all of the news broke out \u2014 globally. Not just in America. It was trending on Twitter, it was all over the news. I was banned from a handful of countries\u2026Egypt\u2026Afghanistan\u2026Very Muslim countries were deeply offended by it \u2014 and I\u2019m Catholic. So to me it wasn\u2019t, \u2018Oh yea, this is bad.\u2019 What I actually said when they proposed the scene to me, and this is verbatim, was: \u2018You motherf\u2013kers are going to get me killed.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Describing her quick-found fame, Khalifa said: \u201cThe day after the scene dropped is when everything blew up. I went from 400 followers on Instagram to like 200,000 in the span of three days and then it just kept snowballing until I was at 2 million like 6 months later. This was after I had quit porn. It just kept growing, and growing, and growing \u2014 and then my Instagram account was hacked by ISIS.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Khalifa went on to become a sports presenter after leaving the porn industry, and she hopes to continue working in that field.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI definitely want to grow my career,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ex-porn star Mia Khalifa got the Twitterverse talking on Monday night after she claimed in a tweet that she only made \u201ca TOTAL of around $12,000\u201d in the adult entertainment industry. \u201cPeople think I\u2019m racking in millions from porn,\u201d\u00a0tweeted the 26-year-old. \u201cI made a TOTAL of around $12,000 in the industry and never saw a &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":61707,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[391],"tags":[2607],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.7.1 -
