Influencer Mia Khalifa has revealed she is so engrossed in a video game, she has been unable to get back to her adoring fans – as she asks them to ‘keep waiting’ for her reply.
The US-based star, who used to work in the porn industry but has recently begun speaking out against it, shared a snap of herself playing Hogwarts Legacy on Instagram.
The star, 30, was seen enjoying a Starbucks coffee as she played the latest Harry Potter-themed game on her console after a busy week, as she has said she needs to rest.
Mia shared a Harry Potter emoji on the top right of the screen on her Instagram Story as she showed off her toned legs with her 27.6 million followers.
The caption read: ‘If I owe you an email back, keep waiting.
Influencer Mia Khalifa told fans to ‘keep waiting’ for her reply as she appeared to be enjoying some downtime at home
‘I need at least 3 days of Portkey, takeout and oui’d to recovery from all the socializing I’ve done the past two weeks.’
Mia’s recovery period comes after an intense fortnight at several fashion shoots and events, including a recent Diesel fashion show.
It comes after she gave fans a glimpse inside her fun-filled holiday to Mexico where she is staying in a luxurious villa.
The beauty posted clips on her Instagram story of herself and her pals twerking in the Casa Xixim villa.
Mia opted for a fuchsia frock with a plunging neckline and frill detail as she had a night in with her friends – but it was by no means a quiet evening.
As music blares in the background, the influencer, 30, takes on her friend in what appears to be a twerking contest, The Sun reported.
She captioned the story: ‘Photos, or it didn’t hap… omg.’

Mia appeared to be loving her time in Mexico as she posted a round-up of photos and videos on her Instagram grid yesterday from her fun night.
She wrote: ‘Mexico, te amo con todo mi corazon’ which translates to ‘Mexico, I love you with all my heart’.
Mia continued: ‘This country, the people, the food, the history… it’s pure magic.’
The Lebanese-born star concluded: ‘Tengo tanto suerte en esta vida’ which translates to: ‘I am so lucky in this life.’
The group is staying in the exclusive Casa Xixim villa, which costs around £2,000 a night to rent and comes with a private chef.
Mia, whose real name is Sarah Joe Chamoun, spends much of her time calling out the porn industry following her three-month stint forming pornographic films in 2014.
The star, who now speaks out about her time in the porn industry, took to the floor and showed her best moves
She became a controversial figure after filming sketches while wearing a hijab, and revealed in 2019 that she had received death threats over her work.
In an interview with Stephen Sackur on BBC’s HardTalk, she was asked to explain what drove her to star in adult films fresh out of college after being approached by a man on the street.
‘I don’t think low self-esteem discriminates against anyone,’ she said. ‘It doesn’t matter if you come from a great family or if you come from a not-so-great background.
Mia explained that her self-esteem issues started at an early age, and part of her interest in porn stemmed from wanting to feel attractive.
Mia was in Miami when a man approached her about joining the adult film industry, but she explained he wasn’t immediately forthcoming about what he was really asking.
‘It wasn’t just, ‘Hey, do you want to come do porn?” she recalled. ‘It was more, ‘Oh, you’re beautiful. Would you like to do some modeling? Oh, you know, you have a great body, I think you would be great in nude modeling.’ Things like that.’

She said the studio was ‘very respectable’ and in a ‘gorgeous location.’ It was clean, the people were friendly, and employees’ cubicles were decorated with family photos. There was nothing that made her feel uncomfortable.
‘I don’t really see myself as a victim. I don’t like that word,’ she said. ‘I did make my own decisions, even though they were terrible decisions. I think that something needs to change in the way women are approached.’
Mia stressed that producers can’t force film stars to do a sex act they don’t want to do, but she admitted she had ‘very little say’ during filming when it came to the theme and location.
She explained that she doesn’t even really remember what it was like to film sex acts because her adrenaline was running so high at the time.
‘I shocked even myself,’ she said of the decision that not only changed her life but also destroyed her relationship with her family.
‘They disowned me when they found out. I felt completely alienated by not just the world, but my family and the people around me,’ she said. ‘Especially after I quit, when I was still alone, even though I left. And I just realized some mistakes aren’t forgivable. But time heals all wounds, and things are getting better now.’
When asked if she had any qualms about filming in a hijab, Mia said she told the producers they were going to get her killed, but they just laughed.
Though it was ultimately her choice to film it, she admitted she felt too nervous to tell them she wasn’t willing to do it, especially after the reaction she got when she voiced her concerns.
‘When there are four white male producers in the room and you say something like to them and they all just laugh, I mean, it’s kind of devastating,’ she said. ‘It makes you not want to speak up and say anything again.’
Mia said the video, which launched her to viral stardom, ‘shattered’ her world. She never intended to be a famous porn star, far from it.
‘The reason I thought it was okay for me to do porn was because I thought no one would ever find out about it,’ she said. ‘There’s millions of girls who film themselves having sex and do things like that and no one knows their name. No one knows who they are. No one recognizes them.
‘I wanted to do it as my dirty little secret, but it blew up in my face.’
