Tommy Sy: How are you doing?
Mia Split: I’m great, thanks. How are you?
Tommy Sy: Welcome, Mia!
Mia Split: Hello.
Tommy Sy: How are you doing?
Mia Split: I’m great, thanks. How are you? 😊
Tommy Sy: Fine, thank you. So, Mia Split. Why Split? Is there a story behind it, or just a stroke of genius? 😉
Mia Split: Well, I didn’t really have a lot of time to create my name, and that was just the first that came to my mind. I wanted to show that I’m flexible in my name, and I thought, “Which word, which word, which word?” So it had to be simple, short, but also flexible. And then I was like, “Split.” Oh, okay, that works—Split.
Tommy Sy: Oh, so you can actually do the splits? Is that your superpower? 💪
Mia Split: Yup! I was a rhythmic gymnast. And also, I was a gymnast. I’m also a real gymnast, and I did pole dance for, like, all my life, so yeah.
Tommy Sy: Okay, and you are from?
Mia Split: Russia.
Tommy Sy: Russia. Which part of Russia? St. Petersburg?
Mia Split: Yes, St. Petersburg.
Tommy Sy: Tell me your little story—how did you start doing this whole business, the industry?
Mia Split: Well, that was, like, my last season in sport, and I was just thinking about what I wanted to do. I didn’t want to be a coach. I didn’t want to work in a strip club or something like that. And I’d been thinking about university—or maybe I wanted to try something I’d been dreaming about for a long time. Since I was about 17, I’d been thinking, “Okay, porn, that’s beautiful. That looks like a dream.” And I really wanted to, like, try to be a part of that, so I just found someone who could do that.
Tommy Sy: Okay.
Mia Split: And I tried, and I liked it, so I’m still here. 🥰
Tommy Sy: Good for us. What did you do? Did you go to see an agency, or did you start looking on the internet for how to get into the industry? What did you do?
Mia Split: So, as it was in Russia, there aren’t any big productions there. So, I was just scrolling things like Instagram and local social media, and I found one post about, like, “Oh, we’re looking for models for adult movies. If you want to try, just text us.” And that’s what I did.
Tommy Sy: And you went and tried it.
Mia Split: Yeah, that was super simple. And then they said that, well, you can try to—if you want to grow in this business, if you want to try something more, something more professional—you should go to Europe. So I went to Europe, and here I am.
Tommy Sy: Here you are in Europe. Okay, good. Once you got here from Russia, what was your first experience? I think it’s a different world—big productions, different setups. Were you intimidated, or how did you feel?
Mia Split: I felt much better because here everybody’s super nice, super polite, super respectful, and everybody’s just doing their job and trying to work as a team and help each other. I really liked the atmosphere in general. And like every person I met here, I was just super happy for every shoot. My English was really bad at that time, so I could only feel the atmosphere or something, but I really liked it, so yeah.
Tommy Sy: And with a name like Mia Split, I guess productions want you to do splits, right? It’s your secret weapon, because not many girls are doing that, right?
Mia Split: Not really a secret, but yeah.
Tommy Sy: Okay. We were talking before starting this podcast, and you told me something very, very interesting about doing splits—that you’d like to try doing videos where you don’t use splits, right?
Mia Split: Yeah, I would really like to try doing a video without my flexibility—just as a normal girl, not a super flexible one. I mean, I’m still flexible, and it’s hard to hide. I’ll always end up bending my back and pointing my toes. But yeah, it would be interesting to try normal positions, without splits.
Tommy Sy: Once you started working in this business, you probably experienced other things than in normal life. What were those things?
Mia Split: Yes, for sure. I tried so many different new things for me. Of course, it’s more about different positions, because producers usually have amazing imaginations, and they’re always making their dreams become real. It’s always really cool to see the script and then act it out for real. For me, yes, almost every shoot brings something new—fetishes, positions, or even feelings I couldn’t have imagined.
Tommy Sy: Uh-huh. Yeah. Okay. Girls or boys?
Mia Split: Oh, I really don’t like this question. It’s so hard for me. I can never choose. I’m sorry. Both.
Tommy Sy: Let’s not talk about work. What about private life? Girls or boys?
Mia Split: For me, it’s easier to start relationships with girls.👭
Tommy Sy: Okay.
Mia Split: But that doesn’t mean I don’t like boys. I mean, I really like both, but it’s just easier with girls.
Tommy Sy: Now that you’re living in Hungary, have you learned something?
Mia Split: I’m trying to learn new words every day, for sure.
Tommy Sy: What’s your favorite word so far?
Mia Split: Well, it’s a long one. My agent showed me that.
Tommy Sy: As far as I know, Russia is kind of a closed country, right? When it comes to adult business or adult entertainment, how is it viewed over there? Do people accept it, or is it looked down upon?
Mia Split: Well, I’ll tell my story. People around me, my friends, the ones who are close to me—they were absolutely okay when I started. I told them almost immediately, and they knew I wanted to try. I had been talking about it for a few weeks before, like, “What do you think, guys? Do you know anything about this?” They were just worried about my safety, but when I told them about the tests we do, how safe it is, and how nice everyone is, they were like, “Okay, just enjoy.”
Tommy Sy: And others? Society in general?
Mia Split: There are definitely people who are jealous or judgmental. Some even send my videos to my parents or friends, calling me bad names like “whore” or “slut.” It’s frustrating, but jealousy exists everywhere.
Tommy Sy: You’ve been in the industry since 2019, right? What’s the biggest difference between filming a scene and real life?
Mia Split: Completely different! On set, it’s all about making it look beautiful for the viewers. In real life, it’s about feelings and making your partner happy.

Tommy Sy: That’s good. I think the best thing is to enjoy yourself when you’re working, right? It makes the time fly quicker.
Mia Split: Yeah, but it’s also a little bit about my flexibility. Sometimes we use really, really flexible positions. I can’t say I’m having orgasms standing on one leg while barely balancing, because it’s just a hard position. But in general, of course, I enjoy it a lot.
Tommy Sy: Guys, like, you know, colleagues—porn actors—do you think there’s a big difference between those guys and regular guys you meet in real life?
Mia Split: I think, yeah. On a porn set, as you said, we are colleagues. We’re not boyfriend and girlfriend, so the relationships on set are different. But I think porn actors are more experienced—they just know more about girls and how to make them come. In real life, you never know what kind of person you’re going to meet. But in porn, you know it’s a professional, you know they’ve been tested, you know it’s all safe. In real life, it’s riskier.
Tommy Sy: Let’s just play with the thought that you meet a guy—a good-looking guy, handsome, your type. Would you tell him right away what you’re doing, or would you wait?
Mia Split: I would wait for sure, just for my safety.
Tommy Sy: Do you think guys get intimidated by girls who are in this business?
Mia Split: Oh, yeah. I’ve seen it before. I’m always trying to explain that porn shooting is a job. It’s still a job. And we do it this way because it’s porn, but in real life, we don’t have to make it as cool or as beautiful or as long as in porn. Just be yourself, enjoy it, and I’ll do the same.
Tommy Sy: So, you were talking about diseases and safety. You’re saying that the industry is much safer than the outside world, right?
Mia Split: Yes, absolutely. Everybody cares about their health because it’s not just their own health—it’s the health of everyone they work with. We do tests every 14 days, every two weeks. And before every shoot, we check the tests to make sure they’re up to date. If the test is even one day expired, you go to the clinic and get a new one.
Tommy Sy: And that’s why everyone tries to stay safe—it’s good for you and good for others.
Mia Split: Uh-huh. In real life, I’ve had experiences where I’ve dated a guy for a month, and I wanted to take the next step. So I asked him to get tested. I even offered to pay for it. But he kept making excuses, like, “Oh, I’m busy today. Maybe tomorrow, maybe next week.” And I started thinking, “Are you hiding something from me?” It’s strange. 😬
Tommy Sy: Maybe he was afraid they’d find something even he didn’t know about.
Mia Split: Maybe, but still, it’s strange.
Tommy Sy: Anyhow, people are strange.
Mia Split: Yeah. I mean, in porn, you’ll never meet someone who says, “Oh, I don’t have a test today, but I’ll do it in two days.” You can’t do that here. It’s much safer than real life.

Tommy Sy: Let’s not talk about the porn business for a moment. Is it easy for you to meet new people and make friendships or relationships, considering the fact that you’re in this business? And maybe one day, you’ll have to tell them what you do. How do you handle that?
Mia Split: When people ask on the first date, I usually say, “I’m a model” or “I do sports” or something like that. It’s the same as when people ask where I’m from. Sometimes I say I’m from Serbia or Belarus instead of Russia because it’s just easier that way.
Tommy Sy: Okay. You told me earlier that you did pole dancing. Do you still do that today?
Mia Split: Not really, but I still love it.
Tommy Sy: But pole dancing is tough, right? You can get injured pretty badly.
Mia Split: Yes, absolutely. These days, it’s more about sport, and people are even trying to make it an Olympic sport. That level is really hard. But there’s another style of pole dance—pole exotic. It still uses high heels, but it’s very different from strip dancing as it used to be.
Tommy Sy: Do you want to practice more in the future?
Mia Split: Maybe not the pole sport I used to do, like world championships and nationals with 8-hour training days. But I’d love to dance more casually.
Tommy Sy: That’s cool. Well, Mia, thank you so much for joining us today. It was a pleasure talking to you, and I hope to see you again soon.
Mia Split: Thank you so much, too. I hope to see you, too. Bye.

It’s with deep sadness that we share the news of Mia’s untimely passing at just 23 years old. She wasn’t just an incredible performer; she was a vibrant soul who left a lasting impression on everyone she met. Her warmth, authenticity, and resilience stood out in a world that isn’t always kind.
Mia’s journey from rhythmic gymnast to award-nominated adult star was nothing short of inspiring. She brought grace and confidence to everything she did, both on-screen and off.
