2. Jessica Radcliffe – Fictional Orca Trainer Hoax

The other Jessica Radcliffe is entirely fictional, created as part of a viral AI-generated hoax:

• A video circulated online recently claimed that Jessica Radcliffe, a 23-year-old orca trainer at “Pacific Blue Marine Park” (or “Bluecrest Marine Park”/”Sealland”), was attacked and killed by an orca during a live show—but this was completely fabricated by AI
• Fact-check investigations (including Snopes, Economic Times, SSBCrack News, and The Star) confirm:
  • No credible evidence or records exist of a Jessica Radcliffe in this context.
  • None of the alleged marine parks exist.
  • The content—voice and visuals—was AI-generated, designed to mimic real orca incidents while misleading
