A video showing an orca dolphin allegedly attacking and eating a marine trainer and its caretaker, identified as “Jessica Radcliffe,” has gone viral on social media, but fact-checkers confirm the footage is fake and indeed AI-generated.
The clip claims Jessica raised the dolphin like her own child, only for the animal to turn on her during a live show. It has been shared widely, sparking shock and debate about animal behaviour. However, investigations reveal that no such incident ever happened.

Digital forensic experts found multiple signs of AI manipulation in the footage, such as unnatural facial movements, mismatched water reflections, and frame distortions. Reverse image searches also failed to find any credible sources or news reports about a dolphin-related tragedy involving anyone named Jessica Radcliffe. There is no confirmed evidence stating if there is a person called a marine trainer Jessica Radcliffe.

Fact-checking organisations, including Alt News and Snopes, have both issued statements declaring the story fabricated. They emphasise that Jessica Radcliffe is not linked to any known marine park, and there is no official record of such an attack.
This shocking incident has also raised attention on previous real orca attacks that took the lives of the marine trainers, fuming debates around ethical concerns with the presence of orca in captivity.
The viral hoax highlights the growing risk of misinformation spread through AI-generated videos, and experts urge the public to verify sensational claims before sharing them online.
