Mia Khalifa Only Made $12,000 throughout her adult film career

Little off topic, can someone explain to me why on some youtube videos there are footages of video games (usually fps games) when the topic is totally different and its not related to games at all? I have seen this a lot lately.
Because they are just using it as background so they can lay a vocal track over it. A lot of times they just cut to video games in between showing screenshots/vids of the subject. Itsagundam does this a lot

You're being weird. Stick to the asian grills mate

I'll stick to Weber made in the USA.

Since seeing "Hot Girls Wanted" it seems to me that this is the norm for porn whores. I mean to be used up in a short period of time and then sent packing back to nowheresville with a few grand and chlamydia, hoping your old boyfriend will take you back.

Only a tiny few last longer, and they do it by ratcheting up the level of degeneracy they are willing to participate in.

LOL what kind of savage circles are you apart of.

I'm telling you this scene was super fucked. I honestly felt bad for the poor girl. That was a vicious pounding. Then they forced her eyes open for the loads.

All I'm saying is I hope she got a decent cheque out of that, because she definitely got pink eye and a prolapsed anus.
I think this is the best example of Post Ejaculation Regret i have ever read.
I too sometimes feel bad about the poor damsels in the business in the short amount of time after i blow a load, but then i close the tab in my browser and go to sleep 🤷🏻‍♂️
Porn business has everything written down before it happens on tape. She knew wht will be filmed and agreed to get a pink eye from all the jizz. She should be happy they didn't spoon feed her eyeballs in the end.

That's exactly what i'm talking about.
All that bound, upside down low hanging porn with masks on and a high amount of drill powered dick is fine untill the clarity hits you.
I think if she didn’t do that burka scene she probably would be your regular bottom of the barrel pornstar.....there is nothing really great about her

She was simply the first pornstar to don some Muslim attire in a mainstream porn film which got clicks.

I’m more of a Evelyn stone man myself
There's really nothing special about her, otherthan the great marketing campaing that happened behind her back.
She's not some Sasha Grey, that fucked anyone and anything as long it was human and an adult. She licked a goddamn toilet seat - that is what you call real dedication about your job.

Can you tell me about the pay rates? I'm curious what the industry standard for taking a nut to the eyeballs is.

Only 12k for about 30 scenes in 3 months of her entire porn career, true or not, is irrelevant.

She got such a huge popularity boost through her short time in the adult industry, received opportunities to work in sports related jobs, got huge followings on multiple social media and streaming platforms and is making big bucks through her calendars, lewds, patreons etc.

She is probably rich already.
 
she got in a lot of trouble for wearing a hijab during a shoot. this probably factors into her issues with finding work, i'd say. what she did was a big deal in Islamic culture, and she got a lot of threats in response. her parents cut her off, they want nothing to do w her. she kind of went into porn long enough to fuck over her religion in public and make an idiot out of herself in front of her homeland.

she's not doing porn now just doing twitch/patreon/etc all the same stuff everyone does. she probably makes a lot on patreon but this not enough for her, so she's trying some stunts. another social media person asking for money.

i dunno, aren't there a million people exactly like this? outside of the whole disrespecting a religious symbol in a porno video thing?
This.
 
If she really did it in a measly 3 months time, thats a lot of money.

Near half what most people with full time normal jobs, working 8+ hours a day 5 or even 6 days a week make in my country. In a year...

More often than not blessed people really like to complain..

What was she expecting? 12 million in 90 days for sex on camera? Cmon..

I understand the 'hard to get a regular job part' knowing how hipocrisy-ridden and prejudice-ridden this world is.

Still, she knew that would happen or that it could happen before signing up.

Plus, she got so popular and well-loved she now is able to get some alternative, much less intensive, much better paid gigs.

Not a bad trade of if you ask me.

It depends. If the producer is lucky and the iShot happened due to collateral damage of a D taking no prisoners then the standard rate is "shit happens babe, take this towel"

No seriously, how the fuck should i know? The "rates" do exist and depending on what the chick does she will either make a lot of money or just enough for a bus fare home. I don't have a list with checkmarks, but there is enough of interviews with (ex) pornstars that hint on how the rates work.

well at least she didn't end up homeless...

Yeah i liked her clips. Too bad she doubled down on drugs. Sad and all that, but it's not like she isn't responsible for her downfall.
 
15k isn't bad for 3 months work, she would have been fine with it if she slid into obscurity once done with it.

But the fact she is brown skinned, and Americans probably thought they were doing some sort of anti+Isis patriotic duty by tugging one off to her wearing a hijab, made her into a star.

She's still like in the top ten on PornHub. It's nuts.

But sympathy? Nah. I feel worse for hide the pain Harold.

Calling her a bitch / insulting her boob job, is uncalled for tho.

She probably could have made that in a month easy stripping if in a decent city and that's without doing extra stuff. Decent strippers can make 1k a night easy during the weekend.

Also there's the whole not being on the internet forever thing.

I don't know how accurate it is, but I assume there are enough obsessive people out there for it to be accurate: IMDB says she was in 7 productions. In terms of pay vs effort, $12k is not terrible. However, the subjects of morality transgressed or dignity sacrificed in the work itself, continued pay for and rights to media featuring you, unforeseen massive fame, what was lost because of said fame, what was gained because of it, etc. Those are all completely different angles of discussion and I don't think you can have a discussion "evaluating" her until you decide which of them everyone is even talking about in the first place.

It seems she brought this up as part of an interview "to clarify [her] past so it can't be used against [her]" and while it is understandable to want to do that, I don't think the premise is very accurate. It is not as though the vast majority of people who know her now first discovered her through her current career. I know that I only know of her because of her massive fame due to the controversy around her and many news articles talking about the hijab wearing porn star whose productions were causing a ruckus among Muslims. I know if you search her name, tons of porn stuff is most of the results. One can assume that much of that porn stuff is even there only because of the initial controversy that made many others curious. I know a massive amount of people would not know who she is or care about any sportscaster in particular unless such things were in place to meme and gossip about.

So while she may indeed be building a new career for new angles of fame, it seems highly questionable as to whether or not anyone would care to know who she is or what she is saying if these things were not all still true. It is not as though she did porn and was forgotten and now people hear about it and have to dig it up to see about the rumors. People know about her and care what she is saying because of this active reality. She may not have done any porn for years, but her fame is still primarily based on it every single year. I'm all for considering personal journeys and not holding someone's past against them, and it is nice to see she has found another way for herself, but to act as though her main challenge is having lost a clean reputation with regard to her past and not actively having her entire persona immersed in pornographic public mindshare, that is fairly delusional. I hope she can eventually honestly reconcile with these facts of her current primary basis of fame and how it may never transition to her current career being her primary source of notoriety.

As others have pointed out, she may not have nearly as much money as she could, but she also didn't have her life completely destroyed as has happened to many who enter the industry. I am glad the extent of her victimhood and exploitation after leaving the industry was limited to her reputation and that she has figured out how to manage it somewhat. Think what you want of industry standards, but the consistent report of people who are out of the industry (not interviews from people still having something to lose by exposing it) is that it is horribly abusive and no one involved is happy.

Here is a fairly long interview. Think what you will about this particular program and a likely different angle of exploitation being involved here, at least it is giving her the dignity of hearing her story. It also shows different aspects of what a person can lose, what major convictions and foundations of their personal identity and strength can be wounded. One may think they are false foundations no one should have, but I think no one should be made to be hurt to the core of their being like this. Reformatting of identity and center of personal value should be a slow and personal journey someone works out privately or with a few others who have compassion for them, not violent torrents of shame from one community and exploitation by another.



One may argue that this may be true of the major production industry but camgirls are simply having fun by themselves, but actually they are very often persons being exploited by another person as well (in fact it is the easiest format through which to exploit trafficked persons) and even those who get into it as a personal pursuit are ultimately regretful of it and come to see their motivations were from harmful social indoctrination and resulted in many psychological harms. I recommend reading a book called The Porn Myth by Matt Fradd.

So what if Khalifa had a bad boob job? It's really not relevant to this conversation. This woman was twenty-one years old when she agreed to do the scenes that she did. There's not many people with good business sense at that age. She also just seems to want to clear up some misconceptions about the porn industry and her place in it and after it, rather than go after people who watch porn.

my bi weekly take home is around $1600 and i work 40 hours a week. trying to imagine that going up to 2k and me being upset, but it isn't happening.
 
A lot of the big ones moonlight as high-end escorts. IIRC I looked at Rebecca Linares' "pricing" years ago and it was in the $1000 per hour range. That is where the real money would have been, or her becoming a producer/manager in addition to starring roles.

I'd never heard of this woman until today. I obviously don't watch enough porn.
Why exactly is she famous? Doesn't look like anything special.
I think it was the forbidden fruit aspect of it. She looks like a good Arab girl and she dressed in a hijab

Im guessing that was pretty rare at the time, or you had obvious white girls or Mexicans trying to pass it off if they attempted it
