Khalifa has since been re-tweeting the abuse sparked by those taking
issue with her Middle Eastern origins – some of which included death
threats.Many took issue with a scene from one of her videos
showing her wearing a hijab, a part of traditional female Muslim dress,
describing it as “problematic and gross”.
Khalifa told the Washington Post such scenes are “satirical” and should be taken as such, adding: "There are Hollywood movies that depict Muslims in a much worse manner than any scene Bang Bros [the production company] could produce."
Another user also sent a manipulated photo to make it appear as if Khalifa was in an orange jumpsuit and being held by Jihadi John, the Isis militant believed to be involved in a series of beheadings, with the caption “coming soon”.
One Twitter user threatened her head “will be cut soon” while another warned Khalifa would be the “the first person in Hellfire”, to which she quipped: “I’ve been meaning to get a little tan recently”.
