Ex-porn star's fans help remove X-rated videos:

She is one of the most searched for star's on Pornhub, but Mia Khalifa's 11 X-rated films could soon disappear for good.

The former porn star has tried and failed to have her videos removed from Pornhub and BangBros, describing her three-month stint in 2014 as a decision that will "haunt her for the rest of her life".

But now her fans have stepped in, creating a Change.org petition that has already seen nearly 2 million signatures demanding the adult sites remove the content.

"Mia and her team have provided countless financial offers to the current owners of her domain name and pornographic videos to no avail," the Justice for Mia petition read.

"Big corporations are not giving Mia Khalifa a fair chance to demand her content in court due to financial advantage.

"We are demanding her domain names be returned, her videos be removed and fairly discussed in court without putting Mia Khalifa into deep financial ruin. Mia has stated her regret for her decisions in the porn industry multiple times."

It comes after the 27-year-old begged girls to not go into the industry, slamming it as "toxic".

    For some reference here is her profile on the Internet Adult Film Database (IAFD) [iafd.com].

    While I do agree that money encourages young women to do porn, they have to really be somewhat out of it to think that it will not affect them later in life.

    There is another story [news.com.au] about on the news.au site about the scene she got death threats.

    She told [Lance]Armstrong that a porn career was never something she had thought about, but when a man approached her shortly after having breast surgery for health reasons, she eventually caved. “I thought about it for two weeks and made the mistake of saying yes.”

    So, she had breast surgery due to health reasons. I can deal with that. It is uncommon at best, but it does happen, even on the occasional young woman (21 and under). However, you get 34DD breasts? BullSH!t. If you are getting monster sized breasts, it is not due to health reasons. When you have health reasons, they will reconstruct to restore your original size/shape... 34DD on a 5'2" woman? those are some humongous cups on a very tiny frame of a woman. (measurements from the IAFD profile above.) DDG image search here [duckduckgo.com] showing just how large they are.

    As for being approaching her after breast surgery... Doubtful. Yes, it is possible, but many adult film stars originally start with modeling or stripping first. Even the occasional "I'm the high school slut and loves sex that turns 18 and goes straight to a porn set" is more common then being "found" by a random man on the street. I am sure few people want to be that random man when any woman that is not in to porn calls for some help to get that creep away from them.

    The former porn star has tried and failed to have her videos removed from Pornhub and BangBros, describing her three-month stint in 2014 as a decision that will "haunt her for the rest of her life".

    Umm, not really. She may be trying to take down the vids... But probably so that she can sell other things after removing the competition. One of the things I found was a calendar of her in lingerie for 2019. People trying to leave porn try to get rid of everything erotic... not create lingerie calendars.

    Her 11 video's??? IAFD reports 29 and only 4 of those are compilations of older material.
    3 months? Well IAFD says 2014 with a date of 2018 on the last video they list as new material. That sounds like 4 years... which ofc, is only a little more than 3 months.
    I know that the porn industry rehashes old content and re-releases it... but, in general I have notice that IAFD misses more movies for pornstars than overstates them.
    In addition, a quick search and I found 2 titles not listed on IAFD, one of which was a scene dated in July of 2018.

    As for getting death threats... Who tries to become more famous after getting those threats?

    Also, the story about the death threats was dated April 24, 2018. If you were not lying about 3 months in porn, that seems like 3 or 4 years after your porn career is over before you got the threat. I would expect any terrorist organization to react far sooner than that. In addition, the movie I found was actually dated 7/2018... Admittedly, there is a lag from production date to release date, but it is weeks or maybe a few months... not years. Porn producers want their money and they do not get paid until the content is released... they do not wait years. And if you got a credible death threat because of being in a porn video, how likely are you to do more porn videos later?

    Personally, I never heard of her before... and honestly, I will be deleting her videos that I downloaded due to her not being appealing to me (I prefer a pretty face to big tits and she is opposite to my preferences.)
    I make a bunch of assumptions here... But I do think they are sound. I could be wrong about them, but it sure as hell seems to me like she lying about more than a few things.
    She should learn from HER MISTAKES, not just blame everyone around her for exploiting her.

    I guess people should just learn to read and interpret text. From the article at news.com.au

    The former porn star made 11 films during a three-month period in 2014, and says they will haunt her until she dies, The Sun reports.

    It doesn't say her career was only 3 months. It says she made 11 movies in a 3 month period in 2014. That was a haunting experience. So about a movie per week. Which may or may not be a lot, I can't really tell. I guess it depends on what type of movies we are talking about here, if it's just the normal in-out-stuff then I don't really see how that would be to many but if she was banged in every orifice by a legion of dudes then that might be a lot and haunting. As I said I can't really tell.

    But it doesn't say her career was only 3 months long or that she only ever did 11 movies in total.

      I think those 11 may be the ones where she is wearing the muslim garb. That's what she's getting the the death threats for. Muslims don't like sex.

        Muslims don't like sex.

        Interesting statement considering there are almost 2 billion of them.

    Maybe she regrets it, maybe she doesn't, but she's certainly taking the Kim Kardashian approach where her film "accidentally" was leaked and turned it into hundreds of millions of dollars for herself and family, all knowingly leveraging the Streisand effect.

    Wow! Nice write up; good researching, lol!

    I'm like you: had never heard of her before and didn't find anything that exciting about her. Never even got past the 'auto play on mouse over' on pornhub. Seems like big tits and not much else.

    My wife is hotter, but then i'm probably biased ;)

    So, she had breast surgery due to health reasons. I can deal with that. It is uncommon at best, but it does happen, even on the occasional young woman (21 and under). However, you get 34DD breasts? BullSH!t. If you are getting monster sized breasts, it is not due to health reasons.

    False equivalency. "Health reasons" can be several things, including reduction surgery. It could also be removal of a lump or similar, and if one will have reconstruction surgery why exactly would you consider it wrong to have enhancement at the same time?

    She may be trying to take down the vids... But probably so that she can sell other things after removing the competition. One of the things I found was a calendar of her in lingerie for 2019. People trying to leave porn try to get rid of everything erotic... not create lingerie calendars.

    Again, false equivalency. Lingerie modeling isn't porn. She's also continued seeking public attention in other forms of entertainment. So what?

    Her Wikipedia article states she did 12 scenes, being paid about $1,000 for each of them. Remixes happen a LOT in the industry as I understand it. And as TFA points out, Bang. Bros. is owned by the same company which owns XVIDEOS. So not a lot of ability to be forgotten if the contracts are right and they insist on allowing the material.

    I might be wrong as well, but not as wrong as you are.

    By the way, how does one learn from ONE'S MISTAKES if they are forever on public display? If one wants to allow her to learn from her mistakes, then one should also allow her the right to be forgotten.
