Otters in Northern California have just aligned themselves with Succession haters.

The carnivorous mammals attacked Crystal Finn, who appeared in the HBO shows final season as ATN producer Lauren Pawson, as she was swimming in the Feather River near Plumas National Forest, and sent her to the hospital with bite wounds.

I felt something on my backside and on my leg, Finn told the San Francisco Chronicle Wednesday of the July encounter. I started looking around and yelling out and [the otters] popped up right in front of me. Then they dove down and started going at me again.

I could see the bites on my legs and knew I had been bitten on my butt that one was the worst, but I couldnt see it, she continued. The bites really hurt.

Finn, who won a Theatre World Award in 2022 for her Broadway debut opposite Debra Messing in Birthday Candles, was admitted to Tahoe Forest Hospital in nearby Truckee with bite injuries.

Otter attacks are exceedingly rare, but the actor wasnt the only recent victim.

Martin Rosengreen, an emergency room doctor at the hospital, told the Chronicle that two people (possibly including Finn) were admitted for otter injuries within days of each other in July. Thats the first anyone at the hospital had seen an otter victim, he said.
