She has now issued a social media warning to everyone about her old business. It all started when a user wondered "why all sex workers are expected to do a disclaimer every time they have anything positive to say”.

This was described as a "privileged point of view" by Mia. The Lebanon-born user responded, writing, "Yes... That, in my opinion, is the least that any SW'er who has achieved (RARE) success in the field can do. It should obviously be accompanied by caution since, for every few dozen or perhaps few hundred women who find success each year, there are MILLIONS of women who are harmed by it." 

Felicity Hunt, a sex worker and dancer, started the chat after listening to a podcast featuring former pornstar Chloe Cherry. In the episode, she discussed the sex business with model Emily Ratajkowski. During the conversation, she stated that working as a sex worker was safer than working as a waiter.
 

This eventually prompted a heated debate on social media. "Her perspective on sex work being far safer than waitressing is really mortifying, and doesn't speak of the enormous amount of luxury her career has granted her (and) not everyone goes into sex work because they thought it would be enjoyable," Hunt allegedly added. 
 

"Not everyone has had the luxury of not being harassed or abused while practising SW. I tend to agree with Mia Khalifa more - while I would want to think we live in a society where a young person can freely and confidently join SW and be assured of safety, security, a living pay, and more, we aren't there yet," Hunt was quoted as saying by the Daily Star.

Mia Khalifa rose to prominence after Islamic State fans threatened to kill her for wearing a hijab in a pornographic film. Despite just being a pornstar for a year, she was one of the most well-known adult actresses online in 2014, and the threats only added to her celebrity.
