Mia Khalifa

After the attacks of 7 October, Khalifa published pro-Palestinian posts in which she described some fighters as 'freedom fighters' and called for better-quality images of the destruction of barriers. Playboy and Red Light Holland ended their relationships with her, considering that she was celebrating or trivialising violence.

Khalifa said she had filmed only around a dozen scenes over approximately three months and earned only about $12,000, despite the enduring enormous audience for her videos. She criticised the lack of residual income and the difficulty of regaining control of her image.
