What’s the deal with Mia Khalifa’s net worth? BangBros has thoughts

Mia Khalifa has been an outspoken critic of the adult industry since her departure from it in 2015. Since then Khalifa has grown her net worth to approximately $4 million. Of that $4 million, only about $12,000 came from her brief stint as an adult performer. She is becoming vocal about her experience in the adult industry and Khalifa has recently come under fire from her old porn studio BangBros.

Mia Khalifa got more than she bargained for from BangBros

The stigma of sex work has affected Mia Khalifa for years, and has resulted in numerous death threats as well as estrangement from her family. Her old porn studio, BangBros, now claims Mia Khalifa is turning her experience into a publicity stunt. BangBros has recently filed a cease & desist order against Khalifa and has called her a liar on Twitter.

BangBros made a site to display “facts” about Mia Khalifa

BangBros have also created a website dedicated to the supposedly false claims that Mia Khalifa has made. The site design looks like a knock-off political attack campaign, and makes the claim Khalifa is using this “manufactured outrage” to raise her own profile. They’ve even published Google Trend results tied to news to try and highlight this.

BangBros states, “Although Mia makes many false statements, innuendos, and accusations, we have tried to stay silent and allow Mia to have her publicity stunt without responding. Mia has taken our silence as an ‘all clear’ to not only continue, but ramp up her false statements. We therefore have no choice but to respond to the most glaring, objectively false statements.”

BangBros are acting like spoiled little children

The BangBros site lists off claim-by-claim rebuttals to Mia Khalifa’s objections, including a statement saying Khalifa received, “in excess of $178,000 from BangBros and its affiliated entities alone”. Although BangBros makes this statement, they don’t provide any proof or receipts which would corroborate their claims, and instead focus on posting video clips of Khalifa apparently contradicting herself. 

The statements that BangBros have released, along with their cease & desist order all seem like petty attempts at looking like a victim. This kind of stance is ironic and simply absurd considering BangBros’s repeated victimization of women and female adult performers. What’s even more outrageous is that BangBros is a successful and well resourced company launching a coordinated public attack against an individual.

BangBros doesn’t care about Mia Khalifa or anyone that cuts into their bottom line

By taking such an aggressive stance against Mia Khalifa, BangBros has shown that not only are they uninterested in the rights of individual performers, but they will go to great lengths to protect their profits and public image at the cost of individuals. Mia Khalifa is lucky to have a large enough net worth that she can defend herself against coordinated attacks such as this, many other adult performers may not have this luxury.

Someone needed to stand up to BangBros and Mia Khalifa has the means to do it

It’s even possible that because Khalifa has such a large net worth that she began to voice her opinion publicly. Even if she can’t erase the things she’s done in the past, by opening up a conversation on how female adult entertainers are treated, she might be able to change how the industry is perceived and managed. 

The exact contents of the cease & desist order given to Mia Khalifa haven’t been made public, and neither her nor BangBros have made further comments regarding the situation. We’ll have to wait and see how Khalifa responds to the BangBros request, but we hope she continues to stand up for the rights of sex workers to express their discontent with their treatment so that the industry can improve.
