Mia Khalifa, the former adult film star, turns 31 on Saturday (February 10). Despite leaving her on-screen career behind almost a decade ago, she has continued to make headlines with her wild adventures and controversial comments.

Born and raised in Lebanon, Mia's journey to becoming the world's most watched porn star was unexpected. Although she has distanced herself from her X-rated past, she still has a large fan base and her provocative statements have caused quite a stir.

From being kicked out of Playboy for pro-Hamas rants to engaging in sexual acts while wearing a hijab, Mia Khalifa has had her fair share of shocking moments. One of her most controversial incidents involved receiving death threats from ISIS.

The influencer, who now has over 27 million followers on Instagram, gained attention for a controversial sex scene that led to criticism from Middle Eastern dissenters who called her a "disgrace."

Her infamous threesome scene in 2015, where she wore a hijab, thrust her into the spotlight and subjected her to criticism.

Mia's actions caused such a commotion that she claimed to have received death threats from ISIS, who threatened to "behead" her.

In response to these threats, the star stated, "You cannot show weakness. That is exactly what they are looking for. I try my best to brush it off, but I must admit, it does affect you after a while."

In the subsequent months, Mia decided to leave the adult film industry in search of a more conventional job. Reflecting on her time in the industry, she admitted that it was a rebellious phase and not something that truly suited her. She made an effort to distance herself from that part of her life.

Fast forward to October 2023, and Mia found herself embroiled in controversy once again, this time regarding the Middle East. After Hamas launched an attack on Israel on October 7, resulting in the deaths of 1,200 people, Mia made a statement urging the Palestinian "freedom fighters" to film their attacks on Israeli targets horizontally by flipping their phones.

Mia's comments celebrating Hamas' terrorist activities sparked outrage worldwide. Just two days after her remarks, Playboy terminated their contract with her, condemning her comments as disgusting and reprehensible.

In early 2023, following Vladimir Putin's invasion, the model made a sarcastic comment about the Ukraine-Russia war by sharing a diagram illustrating the instructions for creating a Molotov cocktail.

Despite being nearly a decade removed from her involvement in adult films, Mia still actively shares provocative content on social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and OnlyFans. Additionally, she has explored other career paths, including sports presenting, TV producing, and working as a paralegal, before ultimately deciding to pursue modeling and influencing as her full-time focus.

Her new lifestyle appears to be successful as she now enjoys traveling to various luxurious destinations around the world, dividing her time between the United States and the United Kingdom.

In addition, Mia has developed an affection for Kent and frequently visits the coastal county. Her daring act of braving the cold in a bikini has earned her the nickname "queen of Whitstable."
