Playboy Drops Mia Khalifa Over Her ‘Disgusting’ Comments
Over the past few days, approximately 800 Palestinians and 900 Israelis have tragically lost their lives following attacks by Palestinian fighters from Hamas launched on Israel, firing rockets from Gaza and breaching the Gaza-Israel border fence.
As videos and photos of the operation and its aftermath circulated on social media, Khalifa contacted X to state, “Can someone tell the freedom fighters in Palestine to flip their phones and film horizontally.”
Instead of backing down when she was heavily criticized for her now-deleted take, the Lebanese-American beauty took it a step further with sharing in separate X:
“I just want to make sure there’s 4k footage of my people tearing down the walls of the open prison they’ve been forced out of their homes and going in so we have a good choice for the history books that write about how they freed themselves from apartheid.”
Despite the backlash she received for doubling up, the media personality lost her Playboy status after the company reportedly dropped her from their catalog.

Per TMZthe US adult entertainment company sent an email to its customers, stating that Khalifa had made “disgusting and reprehensible comments” celebrating Hamas’ attacks on Israel and the loss of innocent lives, both among men and women and children.
Playboy’s response later emphasized its support for free speech and expression while asserting a “zero tolerance policy for hate speech.” As a result, the company has ended its relationship with the 30-year-old, including removing his Playboy channel from their creator platform.
The outlet further stated that the influencer has been removed from Playboy’s Centerfold platform, and his page has been replaced with a “Not Found” graphic. A few days earlier, the webcam model had come under fire on Instagram for expressing her support for the Palestinians against Israel.
In a recent post, she shared an image of a sad woman hugging a tree with an army truck in the background. For the caption, he placed a Palestinian flag and a white dove alongside this quote from Mahmoud Darwish:
“If the olive tree knew what happened to the hand that planted it, its oil would turn to tears.”
Support for the post was mixed, causing controversy in the comments section while garnering more than 300k likes. Most of the comments, it turns out, were against Khalifa, and they challenged him to “visit Gaza” and see if “Hamas will defend you the way you defend them.”

In August, the most sought-after adult actor of 2016 addressed the criticism he received for a previous video in which he discussed his three marriages and encouraged women not to think twice before leaving an unhappy marriage.
While his initial statement drew praise from some fans, Khalifa faced backlash from many others who questioned his credibility for offering marriage advice based on his romantic history. To answer this, he uploaded another recording to TikTok, in which he began by saying:
“I fail to see what’s wrong with telling young women, who marry young, that if they’re in a relationship that’s unhealthy and toxic, and makes them unhappy, that’s just because they made a ‘commitment,’ they’re not stuck. in this relationship.”
Mia Khalifa claims that those who criticize her stance are mainly “men who are toxic in this relationship” and those who are afraid that their partner will accept their situation and use their free will to leave.
“Because the only thing that binds their relationship is probably the fact that they made a ‘commitment,’ and their religion and family,” added the sports commentator.
Concluding, she emphasized her desire to destroy the notion that people are responsible for staying in committed relationships, stating, “You’re not. If you’re not satisfied, leave.”
