Mia Khalifa Opens Up On How Adult Film Industry Gave Her Traumatic Stress Disorder And Ruined Her Ties With Family
Former adult film star Mia Khalifa recently gave a tell-all interview to BBC’s Stephen Sackur. She spoke about how her family went away from her when she stepped into this industry and how adult movies are not real
Mia Khalifa, who has now quit the adult film industry, was once the most searched star on a website. Her videos were watched by millions and she gained a lot of fame. Now, that she has retired from the industry, Mia gave a tell-all interview to the BBC Hardtalk hosted by Stephen Sackur. She spoke about how her family turned a blind eye post her decision to enter into the adult film industry and how all her relationships changed. She also spoke about the trauma she faced because of featuring in adult films.
Stating that her family disowned her after getting to know that she does adult films, Mia stated, "I felt completely alienated by not just the world, but my family and the people around me. Especially after I quit, when I was still alone, even though I left. And I just realised some mistakes aren't forgivable. But time heals all wounds, and things are getting better now."
Mia went on to say that what people see in those videos is not real and that men expect their women to do the same. “The things that men see in videos, they expect from the women in their lives, and that's just not reality.No one is doing to be that perfect, no one is going to do those acts on a Wednesday night with the person they love,” she said.
She mentioned about suffering from traumatic stress disorder while she was doing adult films. She shared, “I think post-traumatic stress kicks in mostly when I go on public. Because the stares I get, I feel like people can see through my clothes. And it brings me deep shame. It makes me feel like I lost all rights to my privacy, which I did because I am just one Google search away.”
