Nah... she just benefited from what I call "the Jenna Jameson Effect"... Jenna became the biggest, most famous and richest porn star in the world not because she was the hottest or the best performer. It was because Howard Stern had the hots for her and he talked about her on his show almost every day.
In those pre-Pornhub days when most normies didn't watch a lot of porn and definitely didn't know any porn stars by name.... having the biggest daily radio show in the world saying Jenna's name over and over... it just made her basically the ONLY modern porn star the average non-pornhead American knew by name.
With Mia, the whole hijab thing, followed by the stories that Al-Qaeda had put a fatwa on her for disrespecting Islam... that was a major mainstream story that went mega-viral and gave her incredible name recognition. And by this time, we had Pornhub and the like, so lots of non-pornhead folks could easily go and look up this "Muslim girl" and her work... and many of them even became pornheads as a result of that.
