Former porn star Mia Khalifa ‘received death threats from ISIS’ after wearing hijab in sex scene
Lebanese-born American Khalifa, 25, said the idea to use the hijab was the producers'
A FORMER porn star has revealed she received death threats from ISIS after filming a sex scene wearing a hijab.
Lebanese-born American Mia Khalifa, now 25, said the idea to wear the hijab came from the film producers, and she was “just 21 and moderately demure” and didn’t realise she could say no.
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live on Friday, she said: “[The producers] and gave me this script and told me what I would be wearing and I said ‘you are going to get me f***ing killed.’
“Not even a week later the death threats were racking up. The entire Middle East was after me.”
Mia, who was raised Catholic, says ISIS shared a manipulated image of her about to be beheaded by an ISIS executioner with a message warning she would go to Hell.
At the time she replied: “I’ve been meaning to get a little tan recently.”

The terror group also hacked her Instagram account and posted jihadi propaganda on it before the social media giant shut down her account. They also posted a picture of her apartment on Twitter.
Mia, once voted PornHub’s most-watched star, spent just three months working in the porn industry before leaving in 2015 because of the threats from jihadis.
She added: “I think that’s why I have such thick skin now. No one harassing me on the internet is going to get to me after all that.
“I just try to laugh things off because it could always be much, much worse”.
