Pornhub queen Mia Khalifa has responded to a Twitter user's Ramadan wishes. The Lebanese-born porn star, who does not talk much about her religion, revealed that she is not a Muslim.
Hesham Mansour wrote: "Ramadan Kareem to you @miakhalifa."
Khalifa who is also known by the name Mia Callista, responded: "Nigga I'm not Muslim."
Khalifa, who moved to the US as a teenager, sparked outrage in the Middle East after making her porn debut in October 2014. She was heavily criticised and even faced death threats for her pornographic video wearing a hijab, a traditional headscarf worn by many Muslim women.
In an interview with The Washington Post, she defended her actions. She said: "The scenes containing a hijab are satirical. There are Hollywood movies that depict Muslims in a much worse manner than any scene Bang Bros [the company who made the video] could produce."
Meanwhile, Khalifa's parents had issued a statement claiming that they have cut ties with their daughter, after discovering she is a pornstar. The statement read: "We are probably paying the price of living away from our homeland; our kids had to adapt to societies that don't resemble our culture, traditions and values. Hence, we emphasize that we disassociate ourselves from her actions which do not reflect her family beliefs, her upbringing or her true Lebanese roots. We hope that she comes back to her senses as her image does not honor her family or her homeland – Lebanon."
