Former adult film star Mia Khalifa has recently been fired from a podcast deal with Canada-based podcaster and radio host Todd Shapiro for her continued support for Palestine and Hamas in the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict. She has received massive flak on social media for the controversial posts extending support for Palestine.
In the past few days, Ms Khalifa”s posts on X relating to Palestine and Israel-Hamas war have evoked harsh criticism. In one post, she wrote, ” If you can look at the situation in Palestine and not be on the side of Palestinians, then you are on the wrong side of apartheid and history will show that in time.”

Another post she wrote: “Can someone please tell the freedom fighters in Palestine to flip their phones and film horizontal,” received significant backlash from the social media, and her immediate firing. Mr Shapiro, a business partner and collaborator in Red Light Holland Corp, reacted to her post as “horrendous tweet,” and wrote “Simply disgusting. Beyond disgusting.”
This is such a horrendous tweet @miakhalifa. Consider yourself fired effective immediately. Simply disgusting. Beyond disgusting. Please evolve and become a better human being. The fact you are condoning death, rape, beatings and hostage taking is truly gross. No words can… https://t.co/ez4BEtNzj4

Later, she deleted her post.
In response to Mr Shapiro”s tweet, Ms. Khalifa wrote: “I’d say supporting Palestine has lost me business opportunities, but I’m more angry at myself for not checking whether or not I was entering into business with Zionists. My bad.”
In another follow-up tweet, she also wrote in detail: “I just wanna make sure there’s 4k footage of my people breaking down the walls of the open air prison they’ve been forced out of their homes and into so we have good options for the history books that write about how they freed themselves from apartheid.” And without naming Mr. Shapiro, she responded to him: “Please worry about your sad little company lacking direction and purpose before you utter my name again I stand with all people fighting oppression, now and always, do your research before begging for my investment in your little project, I’m from LEBANON, are you insane for expecting me to be on the side of colonialism you f***ing weirdo”
I just wanna make sure there’s 4k footage of my people breaking down the walls of the open air prison they’ve been forced out of their homes and into so we have good options for the history books that write about how how they freed themselves from apartheid. Please worry about… https://t.co/sgx8kzAHnL
