New Delhi: Canadian broadcaster and radio host Todd Shapiro publicly cancelled his business deal with former adult star Mia Khalifa after she shared posts on X showing her support for Palestine in the Israel and Hamas war.
Over the past few days, Mia shared many posts, including one that read, “If you can look at the situation in Palestine and not be on the side of Palestinians, then you are on the wrong side of apartheid and history will show that in time.” She also added, “Can someone please tell the freedom fighters in Palestine to flip their phones and film horizontal.” This post cost her the deal with Todd, News18 reported.
The radio host reacted to the post by firing her from her job. “This is such a horrendous tweet @miakhalifa. Consider yourself fired effective immediately. Simply disgusting. Beyond disgusting. Please evolve and become a better human being. The fact you are condoning death, rape, beatings and hostage taking is truly gross. No words can explain your ignorance. We need humans to come together, especially in the face of tragedy. I pray for you to become a better person. However, it clearly seems like it’s too late for you,” he wrote.
Mia replied to the post by saying, “I’d say supporting Palestine has lost me business opportunities, but I’m more angry at myself for not checking whether or not I was entering into business with Zionists. My bad.” Addressing the post that made her lose her job, Mia wrote, “I just want to make it clear that this statement in no way shape or form is enticing spread of violence, I specifically said freedom fighters because that’s what the Palestinian citizens are… fighting for freedom every day.”
This is such a horrendous tweet @miakhalifa. Consider yourself fired effective immediately. Simply disgusting. Beyond disgusting. Please evolve and become a better human being. The fact you are condoning death, rape, beatings and hostage taking is truly gross. No words can… https://t.co/ez4BEtNzj4
