Steven Spielberg’s daughter, Mikaela Spielberg, responds to claims that her parents were embarrassed by her decision to pursue a career in the adult film industry.
Last month, Mikaela announced that she would be entering the world of adult entertainment. Many wondered what the 24-year-old’s parents thought, but according to Mikaela, Spielberg and her mother, Kate Capshaw, were totally fine with the decision. Mikaela says the claims are far from the truth.
“My parents — despite what people have written — aren’t embarrassed, they were actually kind of expecting it to be my career,” Mikaela said. “Some sort of outsider art… or taboo art, because they’ve always known that I was a little bit neurotic.” While she wants to make her parents proud, she said their opinion was left out of her decision to be a porn star.
“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 said. “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.”
People have voiced their second-hand embarrassment for Spielberg and Capshaw, but Mikaela says there’s no reason to feel “sad” for them because no one is a “victim” in the situation. “I’m not sad for them. People shouldn’t be sad for them,” she said. “That’s the one big thing – people are like, ‘I feel sorry for your parents’. Nobody here is a victim.”
The adult actress said Spielberg’s fans had condemned her career choice. But, despite what people think, Mikaela says the majority of feedback she’s received has been positive. “Then there’s people who were like, ‘You’re embarrassing your father.’ I’m like, ‘You’ve never spoken to him. How would you know that? There’s no way you could know that.’…I have had problems with my dad’s fan base. Those are the scariest, in my opinion – just toxic energy,” she said.
