MTV Exclusive
Her real name is Mia Joseph Chamoun and hails from Zgharta’s Kafarhoura. Whomever you ask about Mia, the answer is always the same: We do not speak of this topic in the village.
A youth revealed to MTV Website that Mia Chamoun, known as Mia Khalifa, is related to many village residents. Her dad is my grandmother’s relative, said the boy, revealing that even mentioning her name disgraces them.
“We all know who she is and that she belongs to one of the families in our village,” he added, noting that people rarely talk about her and is usually good material for jokes.
Another young man revealed that her father had told him of Mia’s visit to the village when she was a child. After that, not much was known about her.
The young man assured that some of her closest relatives still live in the village such as her father’s cousins for example. However, they only learned that she became a porn star through the media; news they are extremely embarrassed by.
