Steven Spielberg’s Daughter Says Her Parents Were “Actually Relieved” About Her Porn Career

Mikaela Spielberg – 23-year-old daughter of Academy Award-winning director, Steven Spielberg – shocked the world last month when she revealed her desire to pursue a career in adult films:

“I got really tired of not being able to capitalize on my body and frankly, I got really tired of being told to hate my body. And I also just got tired of working day to day in a way that wasn’t satisfying my soul. I feel like doing this kind of work, I’m able to ‘satisfy’ other people, but that feels good because it’s not in a way that makes me feel violated…I’ve always been a very sexually natured person.”

Due to her father being a Hollywood icon, critics immediately attributed her taboo career choice to the Spielbergs’ parenting. Mikaela Spielberg wasted no time in defending her dad:

“Now listen real talk, there is not a shred of evidence that my choice in career has anything to do with parental abuse so some of y’all need to step down and check yourselves. I see a therapist, I do the work, can some of y’all say you do the same? anywys love y’all, I’m taking better care of my body than I ever have before, I encourage everyone do that for themselves.”

In fact, she stated about her parents’ reaction to her porn star dreams:

“My parents – despite what people have written – aren’t embarrassed, they were actually kind of expecting it to be my career… some sort of outsider art… or taboo art, because they’ve always known that I was a little bit neurotic. That’s not to say all performers are neurotic…just the kind of performer I am – they’ve always known that whatever I wanted to do in life I probably was going to do it whether they liked it or not.”

She continued:

“So it kind of felt like a little bit of a relief. It was like they were preparing themselves to get the news for this and they’re not sad for me and my choice of career. I’m not sad for them. People shouldn’t be sad for them. That’s the one big thing – people are like, ‘I feel sorry for your parents.’ Nobody here is a victim.”

Considering her recent domestic violence arrest, Mikaela Spielberg said that more than anything, her parents were concerned that a career in the adult industry would exacerbate her alcohol addiction:

“Before I got sober, they [my parents] were like, ‘We’re scared about your drinking. I’m more scared that you’re going to die from that.’ They also were thinking about the career stuff. They were like, ‘As long as those two things are separate, we’re not embarrassed by you.’ In fact, they said that we’re not surprised because, ‘You were such a free spirit that your choice in career doesn’t surprise us at all.'”
