Playboy cut ties with porn star over support for attacks
Playboy announces that it is terminating its relationship with Lebanese-American media personality and former adult star Mia Khalifa over social media posts supporting the Hamas attack on Israel.
“Over the past few days,” says the adult magazine in a statement, “Mia has made disgusting and reprehensible comments celebrating Hamas’ attacks on Israel and the murder of innocent men, women, and children.”
“Can someone please tell the freedom fighters in Palestine to flip their phones and film horizontal,” Khalifa tweeted as the assault was underway.
“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,” she wrote in response to criticism.
