Via Eleonora Boi: "Little mermaid from Sardinia 1 Baby tiburón de Puerto Rico 0

It was the worst day of my life, maybe my grandmother Nella was right when she said "on the seas you traitors". I never thought I could get attacked by a shark and I was near the shore and on a super crowded beach. Thankfully me and my baby are fine, I was rushed to the rescue and the surgery to fix my poor bruised leg went well. Now I just have to recover from the great scare and try to forgive the great friend who betrayed me.
Shark will be hearing from my legals soon.

Thank you all for the great love and thank you for worrying about us with a message or a prayer❤️ I thank my husband who despite being married to Fantozzi-Boi he gave me all his love and courage. Today we even missed the Bad Bunny concert but Don’t be deceived, it’s only for a little."
