Playboy fired former Lebanese porn actressturnedInternet “influencer” Mia Khalifa (photo) for her support of the Hamas terrorist attacks that have killed at least 700 Israeli civilians since last Saturday (7).
In posts that sparked outrage on the networks, Khalifa celebrated the attacks, which he compared to a “Renaissance painting,” and in a post that was later deleted, demanded that the atrocities committed by the terrorists be filmed in a horizontal position. She has more than 5 million followers on the social network X, formerly Twitter.
A statement from the men’s magazine said: “We are writing to you today to inform you of our decision to end Playboy’s relationship with Mia Khalifa, which includes deleting Mia’s Playboy channel from our YouTuber platform.” In “In recent days, Mia has made vile and reprehensible comments celebrating Hamas’ attacks on Israel and the murder of innocent men, women and children.”
“At Playboy, we encourage free expression and constructive political debate, but we have a zerotolerance policy toward hate speech. We hope Mia understands that her words and actions have consequences,” the magazine’s statement concludes.
The former porn star was also fired from adult content website Red Light Holland, whose owner, businessman Todd Shapiro, wrote on X:
“Consider yourself fired immediately. Simply disgusting (…). Please evolve and become a better person. The fact that you tolerate death, rape, beatings and hostagetaking is truly disgusting. (…) We need people to stick together, especially in the face of tragedy. I pray that you become a better person. However, it seems clear that it is too late for you.”
