Mia Khalifa is going places.

The content creator was invited to the Oxford Union, a debating society affiliated with the University of Oxford, to give a speech earlier this month.

Announcing the guest, the union wrote on Instagram: “Mia Khalifa was born and raised in Lebanon, moving to America in 2001.

“After almost a decade, Mia has transitioned to become a modern public figure and influencer, rated the number one emerging influencer of 2022 by Lefty.

“After speaking out a few years ago regarding her experience with contractual exploitation in the adult film industry, Khalifa has worked to educate women about the dangers of exploitation in the field and will be taking to the stage to talk about boundaries, both personal and professional.”

While many of her fans celebrated her professional milestone, many internet users called out the union for its waning standards.

One wrote: “That’s an amazing example for our children: ‘How to get into Oxford Union as a speaker’,” while another asked: “Too posh to describe her as an ‘ex-pornstar’?”

A third wrote: “Next guest ‘some OnlyFans girl’.”

The speech hasn’t been made public yet and is not confirmed if it was even recorded in the first place.
