“I could see the bites on my legs and knew I had been bitten on my butt—that one was the worst, but I couldn’t see it,” the Broadway star—who appeared in the show Birthday Candles with Debra Messing and was honored with a Theatre World Award—continued. “The bites really hurt.”
In fact, the incident prompted Finn to seek medical attention, with the outlet noting she was treated for her injuries at Tahoe Forest Hospital in Truckee, Calif. Reflecting on the shocking attack, she suspects that she wouldn’t have been concerned had she seen the otters before diving into the river.
“If I had seen them, I don’t think it would have given me pause,” Finn added. “I would have thought, ‘Oh those cute river otters.'”
And she told the outlet she’s just glad her daughter wasn’t in the water with her. As she put it, “It would have been a lot worse.”
