‘Succession’ Actress Crystal Finn Attacked By Otters While Swimming In California River

Broadway actress Crystal Finn, who appeared in the Succession season 4 election episode “America Decides,” said she was attacked by otters while swimming in the Feather River in northern California last month.

Finn recalled that she initially felt something on her backside and leg. “[The otters] popped up right in front of me. Then they dove down and started going at me again,” she said. “I could see the bites on my legs and knew I had been bitten on my butt – that one was the worst, but I couldn’t see it.”

She told the San Francisco Chronicle that she believed the attack was motivated by the otters’ parental instincts to protect their young.

Finn’s injuries were treated at Tahoe Forest Hospital in Truckee, California.

Her story comes after a group of women from Montana were also attacked by otters. Earlier this week, Jen Royce recounted in a Facebook post that she was floating in an inner tube down the Jefferson River with a group of friends when two otters attacked.

The Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife & Parks issued a statement, saying, “Otters can be protective of themselves and their young, especially at close distances… They may also be protective of food resources, especially when those resources are scarce.”
