A cam model is said to have been bitten by a shark while shooting a promotional video in Florida.
Molly Cavalli was in a shark cage filming a live video broadcast for CamSoda, an adult entertainment website.
The adult actress, whose age is listed as 35-years-old on an adult entertainment site, said she was bitten on the left ankle.
“During the broadcast, a shark approached the cage which made Molly nervous. She swam up to the surface as the shark approached. Her foot rose above the protective net and was bitten.” Darren Press, Vice President of CamSoda said.
Cavalli was pulled from the cage and taken to the hospital where she received 20 stitches.
The wound does not appear consistent with a shark bite and the video footage is not very compelling. At this point, Tracking Sharks will file the incident as unconfirmed.
A request for more information has been sent to CamSoda.
