Mia Khalifa fears 'nudes will start circulating again' and slams 'online trolls'

Mia Khalifa left the adult industry in 2015, but her x-rated past appears to be haunting her as she has opened up about fears of nude images 'circulating again'

Former pornstar turned social media influencer Mia Khalifa has revealed her fear that nude images of her will “start circulating again” despite her adult career being over for nearly 10 years.

Lebanon-born Mia quit the x-rated industry in 2015, but has remained one of Pornhub's most popular stars. Since then, she has turned herself into a world-travelling influencer, part-time model and purveyor of fancy foods – as well as a huge Spongebob Squarepants fan.

And she has now opened up about her former life in an interview with Spanish news outlet El Pais, as well as addressing comments made to her since launching her own OnlyFans account. She said: “I’m really afraid that my nudes will start circulating around again, but lately working in Europe I’ve been feeling good about creating artistically beautiful things and that has been giving me confidence to show more.

“Even when I’ve done photos without a top, I’ve felt more comfortable because I haven’t felt overtly sexual – if someone sexualizes those photos it’s their problem, not mine. When trolls attack me with disgusting comments on Twitter and use my photos, I don’t recognize myself in that person, and I feel sorry for her, for where she was mentally and how little I loved and respected myself and how she tried to win the approval of others.
