‘Oh Hell No’: Ciara and Russell Wilson Take a Swim In a Pool Full of Sharks, Fans Are Shook

It seems that Ciara and Russell Wilson had an eventful weekend. They both shared photos that show the two literally swimming with sharks that seemed just as unbothered as the Wilsons.

Ciara shared two photos, one of her floating in the shark-infested water by herself and the other with her husband standing by her side. She wrote, “Takes One To Know One. 🦈❤️” Russell uploaded the same photo of him standing next to a floating Ciara but for his caption he wrote, “Swimming with the Queen Shark. @Ciara.”

Fans reacted to the lovebirds’ photos in the comments. Many cheered them on for their courage while also noting that they would never do that.

One person said, “Now that’s brave 😮. Sharks 🦈 I just can’t.” Another wrote, sharing the same sentiments: “Yikes you’re brave asf.. I would never get in there with all those sharks 🦈🤦‍♀️🥴.”

Some people really weren’t having it at all. One person put a simple “oh hell no,” but another person thought what the mother of three and her husband were doing looked “awesome.”

Based on Ci Ci’s previous posts, it looks like the couple is vacationing in Mexico.

Russell’s photo had a few comments that were similar, but was also bombarded with comments by fans pleading with him, including one who wrote, “Don’t leave us man stay in Seattle!!!!” Wilson has not said anything about wanting to be traded, but has expressed thoughts over wanting the offensive line to get better at guarding him. Just two days after the Super Bowl, the Seattle Seahawks quarterback elaborated on the issue in an interview on “The Dan Patrick Show.”

At the 2:05 mark of the interview, he said, “But you never want to be sacked that many times. Four-hundred times basically is way too many — 400 too many. So I think that’s a big thing that we’ve got to fix. That’s got to be fixed and has to be at the end of the day, because my goal is to play 10 to 15 more years.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
