Controversial holiday photo
Towie star Amber Turner faced criticism from fans after they noticed a troubling detail in a photo she shared from her Bali trip. In the snapshot, Amber can be seen posing with an elephant, but viewers were quick to point out that the elephant's tusks had been cut.
Backlash and concern
Despite the seemingly joyful moment captured in the Ubud district of Bali, fans expressed their concern over the elephant's altered tusks in the comments section. Some speculated that the animal may have had an infection, while others accused Amber of exploiting the elephant for entertainment.
The truth about elephant tusks
According to thecalltoconserve.com, trimming an elephant's tusks is a common practice in captive elephant facilities to ensure the safety of both the animal and those around it. The process is said to be painless as there are no blood vessels or nerves in the external part of the tusk.
Off-screen drama
Amber's off-screen drama seems to mirror her on-screen antics, as she recently made headlines for throwing shade at her ex, Dan Edgar. The drama unfolded as Dan was spotted getting cozy with another Towie cast member, prompting Amber to jet off to Dubai for a drama-free holiday.
