You may be seeing the Mia Khalifa meme and wondering what it means. Mia Khalifa is not a stranger to media scrutiny, not just because of her involvement in adult videos but also because of her strong criticism against the industry.
Therefore, it is little wonder that the former porn actress would inspire memes. As you may already know, anything and anyone is meme-able. That said, this article shall focus on the top 10 Mia Khalifa memes.
What is Mia Khalifa’s meme?
The Mia Khalifa meme refers to viral images with captions of the former Lebanese-American porn star on the internet. Born in Lebanon, Khalifa and her family moved to the United States of America when she was eight years old. She attended Massanutten Military Academy in Woodstock, Virginia, and later graduated from the University of Texas at El Paso with a Bachelor of Arts in history. She supported herself by working as a bartender, model and “briefcase girl” on a local Deal or No Deal-esque Spanish game show.
Khalifa began a professional career in pornography in October 2014 after she was recruited by a man who asked her if she was interested in nude modelling. She gained fame and heavy criticism following the release of a video in which she performed in a threesome while wearing a hijab.
Khalifa’s porn career lasted approximately three months during which she claimed to have earned a total of $12,000. She was also voted the “Number 1 Porn Star” on Pornhub in 1015 and the most-searched-for adult actress of 2016 on xHamster.
In an interview with Washington Post, Khalifa revealed that she was influenced into doing porn because she was overweight and isolated as an immigrant. Hence, she fed off the validation she received from producers and management at Bang Bros after losing weight and getting breast augmentation surgery.
“I wanted to have a dirty secret and be rebellious,” she said. “I was feeling sexy for the first time in my life.”
Khalifa has since retired and ventured into other career paths. However, her brief porn career continued to haunt her. She called out the pornography industry, saying corporations “trap women legally into contracts when they’re vulnerable”.
Getting a job in sports punditry, according to her, was also difficult.
“It gets me so down when I get ‘no’s’ from companies who don’t want to work with me because of my past, but I also thought I would never find a man like my fiancé,” she said in an interview with Megan Abbot.
There was an active website under her name, which she said she did not own or profit from.
“All I’ve wanted these last years is for the site to be changed from my direct name,” she says.
In 2018, the musical duo, iLoveFriday, released a diss track titled: “Mia Khalifa”, in response to a fake tweet that was posted by a user impersonating Khalifa. The song became a viral meme, inspiring the “Hit or Miss” meme on TikTok.

Top 10 Mia Khalifa memes
1. Before and after marriage
If you were raised in a loving household, being single could have been a lot of fun. This was the period to explore your horizon, make friends, travel and just discover yourself. However, getting into a bad marriage can result in premium everyday tears. Ask those who have endured abusive marriages.
2. They were too hard
Ever acquired something thinking it is brand new or semi-brand new? You may be shocked to find out that it was overused by the previous owner. Meanwhile, the person who made this meme was not referring to a car.
3. Holiday is over
Going on holiday vacation means spending more time with yourself, people and things you love. It can be a relaxing and fun experience, which is why you are often reluctant to go back to work after it ends.
4. When it is your first time watching porn
5. Back to her natural habitat
News of Khalifa returning to the porn industry after years of retiring has flooded the internet in recent times. The purported news generated some reactions, especially from those who mocked Khalifa for returning to her “natural habitat”. However, there is no official confirmation that Khalifa has truly returned to doing porn. But she does have an active OnlyFans account, a platform known for primarily being used by porn actors and actresses to post their sexually explicit content.

Khalifa’s brief stint in porn and the subsequent reactions over the years is evidence that your past will always come back to haunt you. Imagine retiring from a porn career and getting engaged in a committed relationship, then being taken to visit your would-be in-laws only to be recognised by your fiancé’s dad. Awkward…
7. And the best porn addict goes to…
Watching porn is like taking a drug. If you are not careful, you will get addicted. Some people are so addicted that they have every file and detail about their favourite porn star. You will not believe there are diehard Mia Khalifa fans even though it has been years since she left the industry.
8. When you invite someone to eat without meaning it
This is a great lesson to those with “home training” who invite others to come and eat without really meaning it. You might expect the person you invited to politely turn you down but the opposite can be the case, especially these days when there is hunger everywhere.
9. When your conservative parents do not know you are a baddie
Khalifa was raised in a conservative Catholic home but became a porn actress, a career path that got her disowned by her family. Being raised in a conservative home usually means you are expected to be perfect. Some rebellious persons pull off the perfect “child” persona in front of their parents. But it usually does not last.
