Mia Khalifa, a former adult film star, recently discussed the major differences between creating content for OnlyFans and her previous career in the adult film industry. Khalifa, now 31, emphasized that OnlyFans allows her to have full control over her image and content, unlike her brief stint in adult films, which she described as pressured and for the benefit of others. She told The New York Times, “I don’t do nudity past what I’ve done in a fashion magazine… I feel secure, and the audience knows what they’re in for.”
Despite earning millions monthly on the platform, Khalifa warned against younger women joining OnlyFans too early. She stressed the importance of approaching such work with clarity, saying, “Don’t join so young… The internet is forever.” Khalifa also highlighted the responsibility of not promoting OnlyFans as a quick fix for financial problems, adding that decisions should come from a place of autonomy and not desperation.
While acknowledging the backlash she faces for voicing these opinions, Khalifa clarified that her message isn’t to discourage participation but to urge caution. “It is contradictory of me to be on [OnlyFans] and tell others, no, don’t join. But I’m saying don’t join as an answer to all of your problems,” she explained, underlining the long-term impact of online content.
Having turned her massive social media following into a lucrative career, Khalifa continues to advocate for a more mindful approach to content creation, urging young women to prioritize their mental well-being and future stability before diving into such industries.
