Mia Khalifa became a trend again after posting a series of messages against the Argentine national team following the final of the 2026 World Cup. Her comments, celebrated by some users and questioned by others, reignited the controversy surrounding the Lebanese-American influencer.

Who is Mia Khalifa and what is her real name
Mia Khalifa was born on February 10, 1993, in Beirut, Lebanon, and her real name is Sarah Joe Chamoun. During her teenage years, she emigrated with her family to the United States, where she completed her studies and began working in various food businesses.
In 2014, she entered the adult entertainment industry. Although that phase lasted only a few months, she gained enormous notoriety and quickly became one of the most sought-after figures on specialized platforms.
In early 2015, she decided to permanently leave that activity. Since then, she has stated in various interviews that that experience had profound consequences on her personal and professional life.

She also explained that, despite the short time she spent in the industry, the images and videos from that period continue to influence the way a large part of the public recognizes her.
What Mia Khalifa is currently doing
After retiring from adult films, Khalifa began to build a new public identity. Over the years, she has established herself as a digital content creator, sports commentator, influencer, and entrepreneur.
Her activity is mainly concentrated on Instagram, X, and TikTok, platforms where she shares aspects of her daily life, political opinions, fashion-related content, and comments on various sporting events.

Additionally, she launched her own jewelry brand and ventured into subscription and streaming platforms, allowing her to develop an independent career away from the industry that brought her fame.
The influencer has also spoken out on various occasions in favor of the rights of sex workers and used her social media to express her support for the Palestinian cause.
Mia Khalifa's messages against the Argentine national team
The latest controversy began after Spain's victory over Argentina in the final of the 2026 World Cup. After the result was announced, Khalifa shared a video on Instagram that was interpreted as a provocation towards Argentine fans.
“How does life sound now that the pearls have been defeated,” she wrote alongside a snippet of “La Perla,” a song by Rosalía, and several emojis with the Spanish flag.
The post quickly went viral and generated a strong reaction among Argentine users, who questioned the tone of the message and recalled other comments made by the influencer during the tournament.
However, the controversy did not end there. Hours later, Khalifa used her X account again to post a collage featuring Enzo Fernández.
