Mia Khalifa has broken her silence regarding a viral image that spread across social media from the USA vs Paraguay World Cup match on June 12. The former adult actress, now a model and fashion brand owner, was apparently seen supporting the USA alongside adult star Lana Rhoades at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, California. However, the image was later revealed to be AI-generated.
Mia Khalifa Denies Being at the Game
Despite the image going viral, Mia Khalifa took to X to set the record straight. She wrote: "It's AI, I wouldn't have a team USA hat." This nine-word response clarified that she was not present at the match, where the USA defeated Paraguay 4-1 in Group D. Mia also posted images on Instagram showing how she actually spent her evening while the game was on.
Lana Rhoades Plays Along
While Mia distanced herself from the AI image, Lana Rhoades handled the situation differently. She posted the same AI-generated picture on social media with the caption: "Out to support my country in the World Cup." This playful response contrasted with Mia's straightforward denial.
Social Media Reactions
Despite the image being confirmed as AI, social media users continued to comment. One user said: "No wonder Paraguay is playing half field, the entire team is completely distracted looking up at the VIP section. This is tactical warfare." Another added: "Ohh now I know why USA was winning."
Match Highlights
On the pitch, Folarin Balogun scored two first-half goals for the USA. The hosts took an early lead when Paraguay's Damian Bobadilla scored an own goal. Balogun made it 2-0 after a pass from Christian Pulisic, and then scored again in first-half injury time. Paraguay pulled one back through Mauricio in the 73rd minute, but Giovanni Reyna sealed the 4-1 win with a stunning shot in stoppage time.
