During a conversation with YouTuber Anthony Padilla, Mia Khalifa revealed how her past work in the adult entertainment industry has impacted her life in surprising ways.

The influencer, who is now 31 years old and married, worked as an adult film actress for only a few months right after turning 18. Although she didn’t make many films or stay in the industry for long, her overwhelming fame made it very difficult for her to escape the image of her past work.
“How did being in the [adult entertainment] industry, even for such a brief period, affect your daily life?” Padilla asked in the 2020 video. “People will latch onto me,” she replied, adding that people even get aggressive with her in places like supermarkets.
“They think they own your body because they’ve seen it,” Padilla reflected, which she agreed with. “They’ll follow me to my car, they’ll grab my arm. When I politely say no, they’ll call me […] or anything from the book,” Khalifa lamented.
“This happened in the calmest places, like while waiting to stamp my passport at Copenhagen Airport. I was there with my husband, and this guy came up to us. After I politely said no because I had just gotten off a 15-hour flight, he yelled at me that I was a […] in front of a line of about 45 people.”
Because of these unpleasant situations, Khalifa explained that she avoids “eye contact” with people when she’s out in public. “He wanted to take a picture and then called you derogatory names because you said no,” Padilla pointed out. “They’ll show you respect unless they feel disrespected, and a simple ‘no’ is enough to make them feel disrespected,” Khalifa concluded.
