Former porn star Mia Khalifa recently got candid in a podcast and revealed why she left porn industry and that it was her "huge mistake" to join PornHub.
Talking to Lance Armstrong on his podcast The Forward, the Lebanese-American confessed that doing porn was a "huge mistake" and recalled her exit from the industry.
The 25-year-old also spoke about ISIS death threats, her life as an adult film star and rebranding her current life after her exit from the porn industry.
Mia said "It all started to spiral out of control when the death threats from ISIS started coming in. That's when I stepped away. As soon as I started to gain popularity that's when I was like 'get the f*** out of this."
"This was not what I was trying to do whatsoever. I just wanted to let loose and rebel a little bit. It didn't validate me. Nothing like that ever does," she added.
In the chat podcast, Mia also shared her first experience shooting a porn video and when she decided to jump into the porn industry. Now, following her exit from the porn industry, Mia also said that she is trying to rebrand herself.
