She said "I guess it was my rebellious phase. It wasn't re ally for me. I kind of smartened up
and tried to distance myself from that." As of May 2016, Khalifa was still performing as a webcam
model. In January 2017, xHamster reported that Khalifa was the most searched-for adult actress of 2016.

Khalifa and Gilbert Arenas host a daily sports show on Complex News's YouTube Channel, which started October 16, 2017.

Khalifa resided in Miami , Florida during her pornographic career and then relocated back to
Texas . Khalifa is a fan of Florida State Seminoles football and attempted to recruit Ohio State
quarterback Braxton Miller to transfer to Florida State through social networking. After ending herpornographic career, she used her social media presence of over 1 million Twitter and 300,000 Instagram followers to support the professionalsports teams from the Washington, D.C. area, including the Washington Redskins , Washington
Wizards and the National Hockey League 's Washington Capitals of whom her favorite player is
André Burakovsky . Dan Steinberg of The Washington Post observed that despite her change of career, Khalifa's social media feed was "still a bit
more risque than that of, say, Ben Bernanke ." She has a tattoo of the opening line of the Lebanese National Anthem , and another of the Lebanese
Forces Cross. She got the latter in 2012 after a bombing in Lebanon , stating it was to "show
solidarity with my father's political views." Both
tattoos have come under the scrutiny of her detractors. Khalifa has also said that her parents have stopped speaking to her because of her career choice. In a statement, her parents disassociated themselves
from her actions, saying that her decision to enter the porn industry was born of her residence in a foreign country which had a different culture than theirs, and that her actions did not reflect her upbringing. They also said that they hoped that she would leave pornography, saying that her image did not honor her family or her home country.
An online petition called for Khalifa to be appointed
by President Donald Trump as the next United States Ambassador to Saudi Arabia.
