No, Heidi Klum’s soon to be ex-hubby wasn’t implicated in the attack, in case you were thinking he’d gone off the rails! Turns out Shakira was actually attacked by the aquatic seal variety in Cape Town, South Africa. Luckily for the hip-shaker, her brother Tony – or “Super Tony” as she calls him on Facebook – was there to save her from the chomping beast.
Getting into details on her Facebook page, the Hips Don’t Lie singer wrote an emotional note: “This afternoon I happened to see some sea lions and seals. I thought to myself how cute they were so I decided to get a bit closer than all of the other tourists and went down to a rock trying to pet them doing a baby talk while taking pictures... Suddenly, one of them jumped out of the water so fast and impetuously that it got about one foot away from me, looked me in the eye, roared in fury and tried to bite me.” Shaki, didn’t anyone ever tell you that petting 500lb wild animals with huge sharp teeth is a terrible idea?
When the seal tried to turn her into its morning snack, Shaki stayed motionless, paralysed by fear. “I just kept eye contact with it while my brother ‘Super Tony’ jumped over me and literally saved my life, taking me away from the beast,” she spilled. Both the singer and Super Tony suffered scratches on their arms and legs while making their getaway, but were otherwise unharmed.
