The former adult film actress, who has built an impressive net worth, made a lasting impression during her short time in the industry, rapidly gaining popularity and becoming one of the most viewed performers globally.
Though she has moved on from that chapter, she has found success through her strong social media presence and her jewelry business.
Despite leaving the industry behind, Khalifa still encounters unwanted reminders of her past.
In a candid discussion with YouTuber Anthony Padilla, she shared a personal experience that had a profound impact on her.
Khalifa recalled a trip to London where she attended a business meeting with a company she had recently partnered with.
While celebrating the success of their press tour for a collaborative project, a man and his girlfriend approached her.
The man requested a photo, but Khalifa politely declined since she was in the middle of a professional lunch.
Looking back, she acknowledged that she might have handled the situation differently, but felt the man’s approach was disrespectful given the setting.
What really hurt her, however, was the girlfriend’s reaction.
According to the Daily Star, the woman reportedly joked, “I told you that wasn’t her. There’s not enough [expletive] on her face. Let’s go, babe.”
This harsh comment deeply hurt Khalifa, causing her to excuse herself and quietly cry in the bathroom.
The incident was especially difficult for her since it took place during a professional event and the insult came from another woman.
Thankfully, the business associates she was with—who had no ties to the adult industry—were compassionate and supportive.
This wasn’t the first time Khalifa faced public humiliation.
Once, while celebrating a career milestone by landing the cover of Arcadia magazine, she shared a video on Instagram showing herself distributing copies to passersby.
However, when she offered a copy to one individual, they refused to take it.
Khalifa brushed off the rejection gracefully, laughing it off with her friends.
