Mia Khalifa Dropped By Playboy ... After Pro-Hamas Tweets
Mia Khalifa has kissed her deal with Playboy goodbye ... the adult entertainment brand dropped her after sharing her controversial thoughts about the Israel-Hamas attacks.
Playboy sent out an email to its subscribers Monday, after Mia expressed her pro-Hamas thoughts online -- the company said, "Mia has made disgusting and reprehensible comments celebrating Hamas’ attacks on Israel and the murder of innocent men, women and children."
It goes on to say the company encourages free speech and expression ... but adds, "We have a zero-tolerance policy for hate speech." Playboy says it's terminated its relationship with her, "including deleting Mia’s Playboy channel on our creator platform."
The former porn star-turned-influencer has been scrubbed from the company's Centerfold platform ... her page has been replaced with a simple "Not Found" graphic.
As we reported, Mia caught heat over the weekend, as Israel was being attacked by Hamas terrorists ... writing things like, "Tell the freedom fighters in Palestine to flip their phones and film horizontal."
Despite the hate she got, Mia doubled down -- writing, "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."
Sounds like Mia's now putting Playboy in the "Zionist" category, too.

MIA KHALIFA Despedida de Playboy... Por tuits a favor de Hamás
Mia Khalifa se está despidiendo de su acuerdo con Playboy. La marca de entretenimiento para adultos decidió prescindir de ella luego de que compartiera sus polémicos pensamientos sobre los ataques de Hamás a Israel.
Playboy envió un correo electrónico a sus suscriptores el lunes, después de que Mia expresara sus pensamientos pro-Hamas en las redes. La empresa dijo: "Mia ha hecho comentarios repugnantes y censurables celebrando los ataques de Hamás contra Israel y el asesinato de hombres, mujeres y niños inocentes."
Continúa diciendo que ellos fomentan la libertad de expresión, pero tienen "una política de tolerancia cero con el discurso de odio". Luego dice que terminaron su relación con ella, "incluyendo la eliminación del canal Playboy de Mia en nuestra plataforma de creadores."
La ex estrella porno convertida en influencer fue borrada de la plataforma Centerfold de la compañía. Su página ha sido sustituida por un simple gráfico de "No encontrado".
Como informamos, Mia recibió una oleada de críticas durante el fin de semana, en medio de los ataques de Hamás a Israel. Escribió cosas como: "Díganle a quienes luchan por la libertad en Palestina que volteen sus teléfonos y filmen en horizontal".
A pesar del odio que recibió, Mia redobló su apuesta, escribiendo: "Diría que apoyar a Palestina me ha hecho perder oportunidades laborales, pero estoy más enfadada conmigo misma por no comprobar si hacía negocios con sionistas".
Parece que ahora Mia también incluye a Playboy en la categoría de "sionista".
Mia Khalifa Shares Support For Palestine, Hamas ... Stirs Controversy Amid Israel Attacks
Former porn star-turned-influencer Mia Khalifa is catching heat online after voicing support for the people of Palestine on the heels of the deadly Hamas attacks that sparked the intensifying war with Israel.
Mia shared her controversial thoughts online over the weekend, as Israel declared a state of war after the Hamas attack ... saying a slew of things not in favor of the people of Israel.
She tweeted, "Can someone please tell the freedom fighters in Palestine to flip their phones and film horizontal," and, "I just wanna make sure there’s 4k footage of my people breaking down the walls of the open air prison they’ve been forced out of their homes and into so we have good options for the history books."
Mia, who is Lebanese, faced backlash for her comments against Israel, but she doubled down ... writing, "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."
She also claimed those who look at the incident and aren't siding with Palestinians are "on the wrong side of apartheid and history will show that in time." Still, folks online are ripping into her stance.
As you know, the Hamas attack on Israel went down Saturday, with the death toll reportedly reaching 700 victims as of Monday amid the massive destruction.
Israel fired back after the initial attack, bombing areas in Gaza -- including a terrorist attack at a crowded music festival near the Gaza Strip, with some being taken hostage by gunmen.

PUBLICA Y LUEGO BORRA SU APOYO A ISRAEL Otras celebridades se mantienen firmes
Kylie Jenner no pudo soportar el hate por apoyar a Israel. La celebridad publicó su apoyo hacia el país que acaba de soportar un ataque terrorista tipo 9/11, pero luego de que algunas personas la criticaron, ella borró el post.
Jenner compartió el post: "Ahora y siempre estamos con el pueblo de Israel, COMPARTE si estás con el pueblo de Israel mientras se enfrentan a una de las situaciones más aterradoras en muchos años. Miles de cohetes fueron disparados desde Gaza hacia los israelíes. Cientos de civiles han sido heridos y más de 300 asesinados. Terroristas se han infiltrado en Israel desde Gaza y hay informes no confirmados que soldados de las FDI han sido secuestrados y llevados a Gaza".
Algunos de los seguidores de Jenner comenzaron a poblar su Instagram con fotos de banderas palestinas e instaron a otros a dejar de seguirla. Al parecer, eso fue demasiado para Kylie, porque el post no aparecía por ninguna parte en su cuenta una hora más tarde.
Otras celebridades se mantienen firmes en su apoyo a Israel, incluyendo Sarah Silverman, Gal Gadot, Amy Schumer y Jamie Lee Curtis.
Ahora hay una guerra en toda regla, con Hezbolá disparando misiles contra Israel desde el Líbano.
Israel ha jurado vengarse y ya está bombardeando partes de Gaza. Es una situación problemática para los israelíes porque hay docenas de rehenes israelíes que se encuentran ahora en Gaza, y Hamás los está utilizando como escudos humanos para frustrar el contraataque.
Kylie Jenner Posts, then Deletes Support for Israel ... Other Celebs Stand Strong After Terror Attack
Kylie Jenner apparently can't take the heat for supporting Israel, because she posted her support for the country that just endured a 9/11-type terrorist attack, but after some people criticized her she 86'd the post.
Jenner shared a post, "Now and always we stand with the people of Israel SHARE if you stand with the people of Israel as they face one of the most frightening situations in many years. Thousands of rockets were fired from Gaza towards Israelis, hundreds of civilians have been injured and more than 300 murdered, terrorists have infiltrated Israel from Gaza, and there are unconfirmed reports that IDF soldiers have been kidnapped and taken into Gaza."
Some of Jenner's followers started populating her Instagram with photos of Palestinian flags and urged others to unfollow her. Apparently, that was enough for Kylie, because the post was nowhere to be seen on her account an hour later.
Other celebs are standing strong in their support for Israel, including Sarah Silverman, Gal Gadot, Amy Schumer and Jamie Lee Curtis.
There is a full-blown war now, with Hezbollah firing missiles at Israel from Lebanon.
Israel has vowed revenge and is already bombing parts of Gaza. It's problematic for the Israelis ... there are dozens of Israeli hostages who are now in Gaza, and Hamas is using them as human shields to thwart a counterattack.

Woah Vicky has nothing but good things to say about Lil Tay's return to the spotlight after being gone for years ... and she's hoping a collab is in their future, just like old times.
Vicky tells TMZ ... she thinks Tay's looking great and is proud of the online sensation for hitting the internet after 5 long years of radio silence with a brand new song.
She's talking about Tay's new track, "Sucker 4 Green," and Vicky's digging the choreography and the beat that brought it all together. She also gives a shout-out to Tay's marketing team ... which has always included members of her fam.
Vicky even admits she thought Tay was just AI when she first saw the music vid ... but now that she's sure it's the real deal, she's hoping the 2 can collaborate on something to re-cement their relationship.
You'll recall, the girls were homies back in 2018 when Tay was blowing up online for her flexing -- something that perfectly aligned with Vicky's brand.
They hung out quite a bit and were even side-by-side when Vicky got into a brawl with fellow viral star Danielle Bregoli, aka Bhad Bhabie.
As we reported, Tay went live on IG Saturday, speaking out for the first time about her death hoax and calling out her dad for a slew of alleged wrongdoings.

Kim Kardashian Stuns In Gucci Bikini ... After Kendall and Bad Bunny's Campaign
Kim Kardashian isn't about to let Kendall Jenner have all the fun in Gucci, posing in a bikini after KJ and Bad Bunny starred in the latest campaign for the fashion giant.
Kim posted a series of night-cam-esque photos Monday -- showing off a shiny Gucci bikini while lounging in bed.
KK's snaps come after Kendall and Bad Bunny's latest gig for the fashion line's latest campaign, Gucci Valigeria.
The couple rocked big smiles while showing off their Gucci luggage -- and the shoot marked the two going Instagram official ... an announcement that wasn't all that surprising.
The timing of Kim's post is interesting, and it's something folks have already been sounding off on in the comments of her post.
Don't forget, Kim got into it with her other sister, Kourtney, on "The Kardashians" ... about how Kim's collab with Dolce & Gabbana had similarities to Kourtney's wedding with Travis Barker.
That disagreement ended up with a serious fight over the phone at the start of the show's latest season, with Kourtney saying she hates Kim and thinks she's a "f***ing witch."
Unclear how Kendall feels about Kim's photo shoot ... but we certainly aren't complaining.

CA Guv Gavin Newsom Taylor Swift Uniquely Powerful in Next Election
California Governor Gavin Newsom says Taylor Swift could be a pivotal force in the 2024 presidential election ... and it's pretty clear the Guv feels she could help keep Dems in The White House.
California's top Democrat was at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley Wednesday night for the second Republican debate ... showing up as a pundit to grade the candidates. Real talk -- he's there because he's increasingly viewed as a future presidential contender.
Our TMZ guy asked him how celebs might have an impact on next year's race, and he immediately singled out Taylor as someone who stands "tall and unique" in her influence on young voters. He says she's the one who can activate young people to cast ballots.
Taylor has some history here ... she came out strong in 2020, urging her fans to exercise their franchise as she made it clear ... Biden was her choice.
Swift has not officially declared her party affiliation, but based on issues on which she's spoken -- LGBTQ rights, pro-choice on the issue of abortion -- she's pretty clearly a Dem.
Here's an example of Taylor's power and influence -- last week she urged her 272 million followers to register, and 35,000 of them immediately took the cue.
Presidential races tend to be won by razor-thin margins -- 44,000 votes in 2020 made all the difference, so Taylor could become a kingmaker.
Newsom also took a shot at Republicans, saying they have been critical of her for daring to get people inspired to vote.
Taylor Swift -- way more than Travis Kelce's GF!

Lil Tay Seen for First Time in Years ... Bizarre Arrival at LAX
Lil Tay is back in the public eye for the first time in 5 years ... oddly covered up and staying quiet as she arrived in Los Angeles.
The former social media-flexer was bombarded with photogs at LAX Wednesday, covered in a hoodie, mask and sunglasses. Tay wasn't alone though, flanked by security, her mom, Angela, and brother, Jason.
This obviously marks a big milestone for Tay, who hasn't been seen since her virality came to an end in 2018. Paps sprayed her with questions, but she kept her lips sealed ... hopping into a ride without saying a word.
Tay teased her trip Tuesday night, posting a pic of her passport. She's from Canada, so it was almost certain she'd be going international ... and now we know the destination.
TMZ broke the story, Lil Tay was the subject of an alleged viral death hoax last month that was posted to her Instagram account. She told us her account was "compromised by a 3rd party and used to spread jarring misinformation and rumors regarding me."
A post on her IG account Tuesday dragged her father, Christopher ... saying he was the one who faked her death, calling him an "ABUSIVE RACIST MISOGYNISTIC WOMAN BEATING FATHER."
Christopher told us the claims against him are bogus, and warned that the serious accusations could land whoever called him out in civil court.
Her dad got a court order in 2018 to have her leave LA and return to Vancouver, but her mom recently won the long-running custody battle over Tay, meaning she's now able to return to the States ... so we're guessing this will be the first of many Lil Tay sightings.

Lil Tay Vista por primera vez en años... Extraña llegada a LAX
Lil Tay está de vuelta en el ojo público por primera vez en cinco años, tras aparecer extrañamente cubierta y en silencio en su llegada a Los Ángeles.
La ex influencer fue bombardeada con fotógrafos en LAX este miércoles, mientras estaba cubierta con una sudadera con capucha, máscara y gafas de sol. Tay no estaba sola, estaba flanqueada por seguridad, su madre Angela y su hermano Jason.
Obviamente, esto marca un gran hito para Tay, que no ha sido vista desde que su popularidad llegara a su fin en 2018. Los paparazzi la abrumaron con preguntas, pero ella mantuvo los labios sellados y siguió avanzando sin decir una palabra.
Tay bromeó sobre su viaje el martes por la noche, al publicar una foto de su pasaporte. Ella es de Canadá, por lo que era casi seguro que iba a viajar internacionalmente. Ahora sabemos el destino.
TMZ dio la noticia, Lil Tay fue objeto de un engaño el mes pasado, cuando se publicó a través de su Instagram su supuesta muerte. Ella nos dijo que esta había sido "comprometida por un tercero y utilizada para difundir desinformación y rumores" sobre ella.
Un post en su cuenta de Instagram el martes arrastró a su padre, Christopher, el que decía que había sido él quien fingió su muerte, llamándolo un "PADRE ABUSIVO RACISTA MISÓGINO GOLPEADOR DE MUJERES".
Christopher nos dijo que las afirmaciones en su contra eran falsas, y advirtió que las graves acusaciones podrían aterrizar en un tribunal civil.
Su papá obtuvo una orden judicial en 2018 para que Lil Tay abandonara Los Ángeles y regresara a Vancouver, pero recientemente su mamá ganó la larga batalla por la custodia de Tay, lo que significa que ahora puede regresar a los Estados Unidos, así que suponemos que este será el primero de muchos avistamientos de Lil Tay.
Charli D'Amelio Blows Up At Dixie, Storms Out Over Dog-Killing Joke ... 'WTF Is Wrong With You?!'
Charli D'Amelio was in attack mode after her sister, Dixie, joked about killing her dog, Rebel ... dramatically storming out of a family meeting about Rebel's eating habits.
The sisters went at it on the latest episode of their Hulu series, "The D'Amelio Show" ... 19-year-old Charli and 22-year-old Dixie were talking with their parents, Marc and Heidi, about moving houses when the focus shifted to Charli's pup.
Dixie calls "Charli's fat dog" a monster, with Heidi agreeing Rebel is pretty big, adding, "She's gonna die" and they need a plan.
That's when Dixie dropped the sarcastic bombshell, quietly saying, "Execute her?" -- which didn't sit well with Charli, at all.
She immediately blew up, telling Dixie, "What the f*** is wrong with you? That's so mean, you can't put that out in the world." Mom agreed.
The younger sister left a lot of tension behind as she walked out of the convo ... and Dixie rolled her eyes, calling her sister "a bitch."
BTW, Marc obviously didn't want to fuel the fire ... telling producers the fam "can't afford them not to be speaking."
Lots of drama in the D'Amelio household, and cupcake-snatching Rebel's caught in the middle of it!

CHARLI D'AMELIO SE ENFADA CON DIXIE POR BROMEAR SOBRE MATAR A SU PERRA ¡¿Qué te pasa?!
Charli D'Amelio estaba en modo furia luego de que su hermana —Dixie— bromeara sobre matar a su perra Rebel. Salió furiosa de una reunión familiar acerca de los hábitos alimenticios de la mascota.
Las hermanas se enfrentaron en el último episodio de su serie de Hulu, "The D'Amelio Show". Charli de 19 años y Dixie de 22 estaban hablando con sus padres —Marc y Heidi— sobre mudarse de casa cuando el foco de atención pasó a la mascota de Charli.
Dixie llama a la "perrita gorda de Charli" un monstruo. Heidi está de acuerdo con que Rebel es bastante grande y agregó: "Ella va a morir" así que necesitan un plan.
Fue entonces cuando Dixie soltó una bomba sarcástica diciendo en voz baja: "¿Ejecutarla?". Claramente la broma no sentó bien con Charli.
Estalló inmediatamente, diciéndole a Dixie: "¿Qué mier... te pasa? Eso es horrible, no puedes decir esas cosas". Mamá le dio la razón.
La hermana menor dejó mucha tensión en el aire al salir del lugar y Dixie puso los ojos en blanco llamando a su hermana "perra".
Obviamente Marc no quería avivar el fuego y le dijo a todos que "no pueden darse el lujo de no hablarse".
Mucho drama en la casa D'Amelio y Rebel —la ladrona de cupcakes— está en medio de todo.

Lil Tay Father Punches Back ... After Her IG Accuses Him of Death Hoax
-
Exclusive
- 258 shares
Lil Tay's father has been accused of being the mastermind behind her death hoax on social media, but the guy's calling BS ... and pointing fingers at who may be to blame.
Christopher Hope tells TMZ an IG Story posted to Lil Tay's official account Tuesday -- which labels him as the perpetrator of the death hoax -- is not only false ... but defamatory, and he warns that this could land in civil court.
He says, "The person who is responsible for that Instagram post, as well as anyone repeating the completely false and libelous accusation within it, are virtually certain to become defendants in a defamation lawsuit."
Hope adds, "Everything stated is 100% false, and I trust that this should be obvious to anyone who knows me or the long history of absurd and untrue statements made by the various people who have controlled the Instagram account."
As far as what exactly the IG post said ... well, you can read it for yourself. It accuses Hope of being racist and abusive toward women -- in addition to being the one who pre-emptively announced her death ... which turned out not to be true.
Frankly, it's hard to decipher what the truth is in this whole Lil Tay saga ... because all of it is so freaking weird. What we know for certain is that Lil Tay's parents have been embroiled in a nasty custody battle for years now -- which her mom recently told us went in her favor.
Attorneys for Tay's mother, Angela Tian, told us their client was happy to regain a lot of control over how to raise their kid ... and all but guaranteed a comeback to showbiz.
The one person we haven't seen or heard from directly in all this ... Lil Tay.

Lil Tay Su padre contrataca Después de que Instagram lo acusara de fingir su muerte

- 1 shares
El padre de Lil Tay ha sido acusado en redes sociales de ser el cerebro detrás de su fingida muerte, pero él dice que todo es mentira y está señalando con el dedo a quienes se atrevan a responsabilizarlo.
Christopher Hope dice a TMZ que la historia de Instagram publicada en la cuenta oficial de Lil Tay el martes, que lo etiqueta como el autor del engaño, no solo es falsa sino que es difamatoria, y advierte que esto podría terminar en un tribunal civil.
Él dice: "La persona que es responsable de ese post de Instagram, así como cualquiera que repita esta acusación completamente falsa y difamatoria, están prácticamente seguros de que serán acusados en una demanda por difamación."
Hope añade: "Todo lo que se afirma es 100% falso, y confío en que esto debería ser obvio para cualquiera que me conozca o para el largo historial de declaraciones absurdas y falsas realizadas por las distintas personas que han controlado la cuenta de Instagram."
En cuanto a lo que decía exactamente el post de Instagram, pueden leerlo ustedes mismos. Se acusa a Hope de ser racista y abusivo hacia las mujeres, además de anunciar preventivamente la muerte de Lil Tay, que resultó no ser verdad.
Francamente, es difícil descifrar cuál es la verdad en toda esta saga de Lil Tay porque todo es súper extraño. Lo que sabemos con certeza es que sus padres han estado envueltos en una batalla muy desagradable por su custodia desde hace años, la que según nos dijo su madre recientemente, terminó inclinándose a su favor.
Los abogados de la madre de Tay, Angela Tian, nos dijeron que su clienta estaba feliz de recuperar una gran cantidad de control sobre la forma de criar a su hija, y casi garantizaba su regreso al mundo del espectáculo.
La única persona que no hemos visto o escuchado directamente en todo esto es a Lil Tay
