Mia Khalifa and Lana Rhoades were ‘spotted’ watching USA kick off their World Cup campaign against Paraguay last night, with many fans saying they might have been a distraction…
A viral photo of two adult stars at the World Cup is doing the rounds on social media – and fans can’t make up their minds about if it’s real or not.
An X account called The Touchmine posted a picture of Mia Khalifa and Lana Rhoades appearing to watch one of the opening World Cup matches from the stands last night (Friday, June 12). The post was captioned: “Lana Rhoades and Mia Khalifa in attendance for USA vs Paraguay!”
“Mia Khalifa and Lana Rhoades. Two women who have inspired millions across the world. Simply legends,” wrote one fan underneath, perhaps with more than a dash of sarcasm.
The picture certainly looks to the naked eye as if it’s AI – but it’s getting harder these days to be sure, we will admit.
Despite Mia Khalifa debunking the picture by showing on her Instagram story that she was at home watching TV, Lana Rhoades appears to have played into it and shared it on her own Instagram account. She captioned the post: “Out to support my country in the World Cup”.
One person suggested Paraguay’s 4-1 loss to the hosts was as a result of the adult stars’ presence. “No wonder Paraguay is playing half field, the entire team is completely distracted looking up at the VIP section. This is tactical warfare.”
Another chimed: “Ohh now I know why USA was winning.”
Some fans keen for answers asked X’s in-house chatbot Grok whether the photo was real or not.
The response was: “No, this picture isn’t real. Viral posts claim Lana Rhoades (left) and Mia Khalifa (right) attended the USA vs Paraguay World Cup match, but there’s zero credible evidence.
“No posts from them, no official confirmation, and reports call it unverified rumor/meme/AI buzz. Just sharp-looking fans or edits sparking speculation. USA won 4-1 though.”
