Steven Spielberg Shame? Director 'Embarrassed' By Porn Star Daughter Mikaela
Feb. 23 2020, Published 2:10 p.m. ET
Steven Spielberg is "embarrassed" by his daughter Mikaela's announcement that she's pursuing a career as a porn star, Page Six reported. As RadarOnline.com readers know, Mikaela, who was adopted as a baby by the ET director and his actress wife Kate Capshaw, explained this week why she wanted to get into the adult film business in a bombshell interview with The Sun. Mikaela, 23, admitted she has always been a “very sexually natured person.”
“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,” she confessed. Mikaela described her harrowing childhood, during which she claimed she was groomed and abused by “predators.” However, she noted the men were not family members or in their circle of friends. Spielberg's daughter told the British publication that she's making solo sex videos that she posted on PornHub.com -- and is also working to get licensed to become an exotic dancer in Nashville.
Mikaela claimed that her parents are “not upset” and even “intrigued” by her life choices. But although a Spielberg source told Page Six that Steven, 73, and Kate, 66, who have a total of seven children, "are nothing but supportive of her, as they are with all their children,” the person added, “Obviously, though, they’re embarrassed by her sudden public admission of entry into the sex worker world.”
The source said, “Nothing can hurt Steven Spielberg’s immaculate reputation, nor Kate’s, but they’re worried about how Mikaela’s revelation looks for their other kids, who are trying to be supportive but who are also embarrassed. “This certainly isn’t how they were raised.”
Steven and Kate's brood includes Grey's Anatomy star Jessica Capshaw, 43, who is her mom's daughter from her marriage to Robert Capshaw. Son Max, 34, is from Steven’s marriage to actress Amy Irving. Kate had an adopted son, Theo, now 31, and Steven went on to also adopt him. The couple had biological daughters Sasha, 29, and Destry, 23, and son Sawyer, 27, together, as well as adopting Mikaela.

Her Limits
Mikaela said that she won’t make porn with another person because “it would be a violation of my boundaries and my relationship with my significant other,” her fiancé Chuck Pankow. The source told Page Six, “Maybe Mikaela felt unworthy of her folks, of her name, that she could never live up to it. It’s hard to be the product of parents who are so successful.”
