Mia Khalifa has once again stirred a storm on social media with her controversial comments. The former adult film star invited flak while revisiting a bold statement she rendered last year, claiming that being in the military is “worse than OnlyFans”. Mia does not mince words and she made the controversial comparison during an appearance on the Ziwe talk show in July 2022.
While discussing the broad spectrum of industries involving personal exposure, host Ziwe Fumudoh questioned if there was a fundamental difference between them. He inquired, "So we have OnlyFans, and then we have the sex work industry, and then we have like actors, is there a difference between these industries or are we all fundamentally selling our bodies in some way?"
Mia Khalifa asserted, "Honestly, I think that selling your body, like if we are going by that definition, being in the army is worse than being on OnlyFans. You're selling your body to the government."
The PornHub queen reportedly reignited the conversation more than a year later, and it grabbed all the spotlight after a user posted the TikTok clip on X (formerly Twitter) on Veterans Day. The video featured Khalifa delivering a controversial comment, seamlessly transitioning to a shot of a major sitting in a vehicle, visibly perturbed.
Incidentally, Mia also took to her X handle and seemingly posted a direct response to comedian Marcella Arguello, who reminisced, "Who else remembers being against the Iraq war and people being like oh wow so you don't SUPPORT OUR TROOPS?!?! And then having the most dumb conversation about being anti American when you were just anti killing innocent people. Anyway, this feels like that."
To everyone up in arms about my statement that being in the military is worse than being on onlyfans cause you’re selling your body to the gov’t - we’re both serving this nation! What do you think they sent for morale back in the day? More troops, or Marilyn Monroe in a skirt ???

Their conversation also touched upon the ongoing Israel-Gaza conflict, which added a layer of complexity to Khalifa's remarks.
