Mia Khalifa broke the silence and explained why she decided to leave the adult content industry, revealing that she experienced a “reality shock”.
In an interview on the podcast The Diary Of A CEO, hosted by Stephen Bartlett, the 31-year-old influencer explained how she ended up in the adult content industry and the reasons that led her to leave it.
“I was convinced to run away to Las Vegas four days after my 18th birthday. I had no sense of identity, so I clung to someone who was more than happy to take advantage of that, and someone who could see that and see someone easily manipulated,” Mia explained.
Mia revealed that she was desperate to leave Miami, where she lived at the time, when a friend in Austin, Texas, explained that she was looking for someone to share the apartment with. “I thought: ‘What if I move to Austin’. […] Within a month, I packed my bags and moved,” she said.
On what motivated her decision to leave the industry, she explained: “I think it was how overwhelming everything became so quickly. It was a reality shock […]. This was not what I signed up for, it’s not what I expected, I messed up.”
In the past, Mia has also tried to clarify some misconceptions about her time in the industry. A big myth is that she made a lot of money creating adult content. However, she previously stated that she only earned $12,000.
“The difficulty of finding a normal job afterwards […] was… terrifying. To clarify, I was never promised ‘millions’, nor do I expect that. I am just clarifying common misconceptions about me and, in turn, about the industry.”
