destroyed all copies of it, announcing that "Ms. Arquette was an icon and activist in the trans community and we could not see someone smear her memory the way the selling party was trying to do". In February 2017, xHamster held auditions for US President Donald Trump, Trump's family members, and Trump cabinet member lookalikes. The winners will be cast in porn parodies. Alex Hawkins said, "there is nothing more that the American public needs than quality adult content parodies to help them understand the ever-shifting landscape of their Executive Branch of government". In March 2017 John Brutal, a dialysis worker in Minnesota, was selected as the winning contestant to perform the part. In September 2017, following Twitter "likes" from the account of US senator Ted Cruz, xHamster discovered his lookalike, Searcy Hayes, and offered her $10,000 to be featured in a role as a Ted Cruz look alike. Following the airing of a Lifetime Network documentary-style film, Surviving R.Kelly, xHamster reported a 388% increase in R.Kelly related searches since January 2019. The Lifetime film presents R.Kelly's arrest, trial, and acquittal on child pornography charges between 2002 and 2008. Censored from xHamster's website, the "infamous" sex tape features the hip-hop artist engaged in sexual relations with and urinating on, an underage girl. In a bid to reprimand viewers who search for the sex tape, xHamster denounced seeking the tape as both "illegal" and "immoral". xHamster emphasized in their public statement that searching for the video may even be "re-victimizing a minor who could not consent". After nude outtakes from a 2016 GQ Magazine photoshoot of Iggy Azalea were leaked on Twitter in May 2019, xHamster defended the rapper's right to prevent the images' widespread accessibility. In an interview with The Blast in May 2019, Alex Hawkins claimed that disseminating and viewing the stolen photos is "a violation of Iggy's rights". Hawkins also stated that xHamster had "reached out to Iggy Azalea's management team" and "will increase [xHamster's] patrol of Iggy and relevant keywords, and are asking our community to alert us should they spot the photos". More than four years after retiring from porn, Mia Khalifa remains one of the most searched female actresses on xHamster with over 780 million views, according to a 2019 Washington Post article. Khalifa is best known for starring in a film in which she wears a hijab, garnering public criticism and even death threats
