Is it safe? Cape Town influencer swims into weird ocean foam and the internet reacts
TikTok sensation Michelle Sky Hayward dives into Cape Town's murky waters, sparking a wave of reactions online. Image: TikTok TikTok user and content creator Michelle Sky Hayward leaves netizens scratching their heads after taking a deep dive into what seems like bubbling sewer water. Generally, most people know to steer clear of dodgy-looking water; however, Hayward seems to have taken the phrase 'diving into the unknown' quite literally. The content creator, who has since gone viral, shared a video of herself swimming in the mysterious-looking foamy water in Cape Town. 'I'm having so much fun, I literally don't even feel the cold,' she told the camera, moments before taking an unintentional gulp of the questionable water. Hayward then screamed and laughed after some water went into her mouth, saying it tasted 'salty'. Video Player is loading.

The adventurous fitness enthusiast has since posted a video on both Instagram and TikTok confirming that she is 'not an American tourist' and is a local to Cape Town, swimming in the sea 'at least once a week'. She said, 'I actually didn't smell anything when I went into the sea; it smelled like the normal ocean smells. 'I did notice that the water was super murky, and it is usually clear in that spot. There was also a lot of foam that I hadn't seen before. But I honestly loved the foam. I felt like I was in a bubble bath; it was so cool.' The video's comments section was filled with people baffled by the water's murky appearance. Viewers were quick to point out the obvious signs of questionable water quality, with many left wondering how Hayward didn't notice. 'I refuse to believe this is raw sewage and it doesn't have the worst smell … how did you not smell it?' asked @nsreemxx. 'As humans, we have a natural aversion to things that don't look or feel right. Even if they didn't know the exact reasoning, people would not want to get in this water upon seeing it. But I guess not everyone,' said @RedScarf.

Sydney Sweeney's denim dilemma: charity or just a cheeky marketing stunt?
Sydney Sweeney faces backlash for her recent denim campaign, as netizens disagree with the choice of visuals that the brand chose. Image: Instagram Sydney Sweeney has divided the internet yet again! The American actress has stirred up a controversy after it was revealed that she is the face behind the American Eagle 2025 campaign. The denim campaign, titled 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans', showcases the actress in a minimalist style to promote 'The Sydney Jean", which has a butterfly motif on the back pocket as a symbol of domestic violence awareness. This limited-edition campaign will contribute its proceeds to the Crisis Text Line, a non-profit organisation that provides free text-based support for domestic abuse. Video Player is loading.

However, despite its good cause, the 'Euphoria' actress is facing online backlash over the visuals that were chosen for the campaign. The American Eagle brand shared a video that many expressed online that it is weird and hypersexualised for a campaign that is supposed to bring awareness to a sensitive matter. In the now-deleted video, the camera focuses more on her exposed cleavage and slowly moves down to her stomach; however, the actress says, 'Hey, eyes up here', then the camera shifts to her face.

Early this year, the 27-year-old was in a collaboration with Dr. Squatch, an American personal care company that sells personal care products marketed towards men. The controversial actress revealed the most shocking and bizarre thing that made this collaboration different. Sweeney revealed that she is selling a 'very limited-edition' 5 000 bars of 'Sydney's Bathwater Bliss' soap that contains drops of her bathwater. Many people expressed their shock over this collaboration and wanted to know why she would choose to do this.
