Facts Over Fiction
Claim
Mia has repeatedly stated she “only” made $12,000 in the adult industry.
The Facts
Mia received in excess of $178,000.00 from BangBros and its affiliated entities alone. We have no idea how much she made with the other 3 Adult Brands that she performed for BEFORE she performed for BangBros.
Claim
Mia has repeatedly stated she was only in the adult industry for 3 months.
The Facts
Mia performed with the adult Film and Cam industry from mid-late 2014 through July 2017. 2 years and 9 months to be exact.
Claim
Mia Khalifa has repeatedly claimed she told producers "you guys are going to get me killed" Source
The Facts
This statement never happened. In fact, Mia Khalifa had a lot of creative control over the ideas for the site and was fully behind each one. But don't just take our word for it, take hers. (Click here)
Claim
Mia has recently claimed 6 years later that she was manipulated into her Bangbros contract Source
The Facts
Mia Khalifa was never manipulated into signing her contract. In fact, she renewed her contract for more years and negotiated different terms into it. She actually, was quite excited to be on contract as you can see here. She also admitted in an interview with BBC published in Sept 2019 that she said "It's not that I had a terrible contract" and seemed to quite understand at the time "that is how porn contracts work."
Claim
Mia has repeatedly suggested the famous "hijab scene" was her second scene and she has suggested she only ever filmed for BangBros. She also claims during her time in the adult industry she filmed a total of 12 scenes.
The Facts
Mia performed for 3 other studios under the stage name "Mia Callista", before shooting for BangBros and using the name "Mia Khalifa". For what it's worth, the "hijab scene" wasn't even her second video for BangBros. You can see a list of her full adult filmography here (Hint: It's a lot more than 12 scenes)
Claim
Mia has stated she owns the trademark to “Mia Khalifa”
The Facts
Mia's registration of the Trademark was obtained by her making a sworn statement to the United States Patent & Trademark Office that no other party had the right to use the term "Mia Khalifa" in connection with adult entertainment. She made this representation despite having assigned to Bangbros the exclusive right to her stage name in connection with adult content in which Mia appeared.
Claim
Recently Mia has brought up a scene in which referenced protests surrounding the killing of an unarmed black man with the suggestion that BangBros was insensitive to this horrific act.
The Facts
This scene was produced by a third-party producer. We found the scene absolutely objectionable and it was removed almost immediately when it was posted 5 years ago.
Claim
Recently, Mia has claimed BangBros and others are intentionally pushing her content in response to her recent statements.
The Facts
NO, we have not been promoting or pushing her content. Obviously, it’s Mia’s self-created, scandalous buzz she’s created. There’s a spike in viewing her content every time she talks about it. We can’t imagine Mia is surprised that when she talks about her porn content, people are going looking for her porn content.. You can see in the google trends graph below, that Mia Khalifa is struggling to stay relevant over the years and needs to attack Bangbros and the porn industry to stay relevant. Trying to bully people into removing your content is only going to lead to the Streisand effect.
Ya know, if we were cynical, we might think that the reason she wants this press (and her prior content removed) is because it will make her adult photo business more valuable. All while using the popularity and name recognition from her video content. We're sure she'd never do anything that calculated though.
To be very blunt and honest, no one at BangBros felt that the relationship was full of ill will or that she harbored these resentments that she has spoken about suddenly the last 6 months.
We wish Mia nothing but the best in her adult photography business and any other pursuits she may have.
