When asked if she had any traumatic or indecent experiences in the adult film industry, the actress confirmed in negative and revealed, “I worked with the best people. I have no horror stories. I read through every contract and corrected every single contract, so I was gaining something from it. I was in control of every single thing that I was doing. I do believe that in that industry there are different sides but from my perspective, I was in complete control. I saw it as a business. I saw it as a means to get to something else. It wasn’t free for all in my world. Everybody’s experiences are different, mine was totally different.”
For the unversed, Mia Khalifa in 2019 took to Twitter to share her traumatic experience of working in the p*rn industry. The former p*rn star tweeted, “People think I’m raking in millions from porn. Completely untrue. I made a TOTAL of around $12,000 in the industry and never saw a penny again after that. Difficulty finding a normal job after quitting porn was… scary.”
