Mia Khalifa sparks outrage by superimposing her face onto the body of Virgin Mary
Porn star Mia Khalifa has caused outrage by posting an image of her face superimposed on the body of the Virgin Mary.
The 24-year-old was joking about how some people mistook a photo of Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai for her last week.
She captioned the Instagram photo: ‘When a news outlet mistakes Malala for Mia Khalifa’.
Many were offended by her comparing herself to the mother of Jesus Christ, calling her a ‘disgrace’ and saying ‘I hope you rot in hell’.
One wrote: ‘Not gonna lie I’m not easily offended but this struck a nerve even if it was a joke I didn’t find it funny.
One person with a strange moral stance commented: ‘After this act I will never look at your videos anymore’.
Another added: ‘She’s a porn star, as if she has morals to begin with?’
One commenter on Instagram said the star was living ‘In an alternate universe,’ and another said: ‘Oh, the narcissism, it’s almost admirable’.
But Khalifa’s fans remained loyal. One wrote: ‘God bless u we love u from Lebanon.’
The post comes after Nobel Prize winner Malala, 20, was trolled online by Muslims offended that she wore skinny jeans, ankle boots and a bomber jacket while in her first week at Oxford University.
But some viewers mistook the photo for Khalifa, a Lebanese American who was once the most popular star on Pornhub.com.
Earlier this month Khalifa was allegedly kicked out of a MLB game for punching a fan who was trying to take a selfie with her at a game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs on October 14.
A fan reportedly shoved a phone in Khalifa’s face to take a selfie without asking permission, at which point she responding by punching the fan in the jaw.
