My mom thinks the person that created Betty Boop got the idea from a porn star/ stripper... so was Betty Boop a stripper or is she an icon for stripping?

Quite possibly influenced by Mae West, but there is no official word about it...

No, the idea for Betty Boop was from the Flappers of the twenties. They were controversial for the times. They were women who went out to places by themselves, smoked cigarettes, and drank occasionally even during prohibition at the speak easies. They were not strippers, or porn stars.

No, Betty Boop's look was based on how flappers dressed in the 20s.
She derived her musical talents and “boop-oop-a-doop” reputation from Helen Kane, the original “Boop-Oop-a-Doop” girl; her figure was based on Mae West.

No she was a Flapper - a young woman of the roaring 20's

Everything is right here under the heading History.
