Mia Khalifa started her career in adult entertainment very successfully, building up a solid name for herself in record time and constantly staying in the spotlight. However, mich of her fame was based on controversy which some claimed was borderline exploitation on her part, and there were predictions that it won’t be long before we stop hearing about her.
And indeed, her popularity seems to be on a bit of a decline recently, as there haven’t been many news about Khalifa’s work. Even reports of controversial acts like shooting porn in a hijab seem to have faded away, and it’s pretty rare to see her name in the press at this point. According to some, she is well on her way out and she will soon lose most of her relevance in the industry unless she comes out with something new.
On the other hand, the Amazon wish list of the star has been growing more and more, but the recently added items have been of relatively low value – including table salt – leading some to question her financial status at the moment. Some who are familiar with the industry have pointed out that female porn stars have a relatively small window of fame which they need to utilize fully, because their value on the market declines rather quickly.
Khalifa has been using the controversy around her name to add to her fame a lot, but in the end she can only do that for so long before it stops being a viable strategy. Either that, or she will have to ramp up the controversy even more until she can no longer do that realistically. Plus, in the long term it’s generally not a smart idea to base one’s public image on controversy.
If nothing else, it just tends to attract all sorts of negative attention – for example, her Instagram account was targeted by hackers who managed to take it over for a brief period of time, and this likely won’t be the last similar incident for a while. On the other hand, the star claims to have been the subject of death threats and other similar problems, although she hasn’t talked much about those recently. Her fans did get a bit worried about her when those issues came up, but the situation hasn’t seen much development lately.
But in the end, we should remember that Khalifa managed to entertain a lot of people and was a very successful performer during her active period, so it would be disappointing to see her fade away like that before realizing her full potential. There is probably still a lot that she could do to improve her popularity and bring herself even further into the spotlight, but she might have to tone down the controversy first if she wants to see her career flourish properly. According to some of her fans, she might have a lot of success if she explored new genres, and there are indeed various options that are available to her in this regard.
Right now, some of her fans are just wondering how she is going to get through the controversy that surrounds her image, as it stems from her own attitude to a large degree. It’s not just about the fact that she’s a Muslim performing in porn – she has openly expressed some views that have angered people in various places. If she keeps this up for much longer, she could find herself facing even more serious problems later on.
She’s Catholic not Muslim.
