Mia Khalifa, former adult star, has recently been the subject of online ridicule. Khalifa, after quitting the adult film industry, explored multiple ventures. One of these included opening her own YouTube channel. The channel has gained much popularity and has garnered close to 900,000 subscribers. Another one of these ventures included opening a podcast with former NBA player Gilbert Arenas.
Arenas and Khalifa opened a sports podcast together called Out of Bounds. The podcast was the brainchild of Complex News, an American media company. It didn’t last, however, since Khalifa quit the podcast after being unable to handle the negativity she faced. This, however, is not why she has recently popped up in the news again. That has to do with her appearing on a runway for Vogue. Though she had previously faced ridicule for appearing on YouTube podcasts, this time, it was different.
It started with Khalifa walking for the Vogue runway KNWLS collection. She tweeted, “This little girl from Beirut made it on Vogue Runway in KNWLS, I can’t stop crying”.
Khalifa would’ve had no idea that this single tweet would set off a tirade of social comments against her. While she has faced backlash plenty of times before, the simple volume of negativity this time around was astonishing.
Mia Khalifa gets brutally roasted by NBA fans
NBA fans were amongst the many who took to Twitter to absolutely bash Khalifa. Many compared her to Shaquille O’Neal while he was on the Celtics. Shaq, while on the Celtics, was way past his prime and absolutely washed up. This comparison was an indirect jab at Khalifa for being done for.
Fans didn’t stop there. Many went further, comparing her to more washed-up athletes, calling her “Hawks TMac, Clippers Pierce, Hornets Parker, Celtics Blake, Clippers Wall, Lakers Melo, Raptors Hakeem, Lakers Nash,” among other names.
Fans went beyond their creative abilities while thinking of these posts. A wide variety of athletes from a variety of sports were used. Regardless of whether or not this backlash was warranted, Khalifa’s PR team will have something to think about over the week.
