After posting a photo of herself in what some locals believed to be a sacred New Zealand spring, Instagram influencer Cleo Codrington finds herself in much hotter water.

Australian Instagram model Codrington and her boyfriend, Mitch Cox, have been touring New Zealand this month, posting photos from many of the country's gorgeous beaches and water features.




However, one particular set of photos drew the ire of many local Kiwis, because it appears to show Codrington wading through New Zealand's Blue Springs, where swimming is forbidden.




The Te Waihou Blue Spring in the South Waikato banned swimming in 2016 due to its "negative impact on the vegetation in the riverbed and on the banks."


Social media users expressed their frustration and outrage at Codrington and Cox:

The couple have pushed back against accusations, however, saying the photo was taken over 120 kilometers from the sacred Blue Springs. Codrington wrote on her Instagram:

"This was at the Tarawera Falls River NOT Blue Springs...I didn't want to reveal the location because I'm a big believer in preserving the hidden gems and the environment, not all places should be geotagged."


Codrington's supporters backed her up on Instagram:

There's no arguing with her point here:

"The last thing the environment needs is another overpopulated hotspot."

Tarawera Falls is well known among locals as a good place for hiking. Hopefully this far less controversial location is actually the setting of Codrington and Cox's photo. Beautiful images like these shouldn't be tainted by infringing on a country's sacred features.

Lauren Boebert In Hot Water After She's Busted Spending Campaign Funds On Kid Rock Concert Tickets

Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert is facing criticism after Federal Election Commission (FEC) records showed she spent over $3,300 of her campaign funds on concert tickets and a hotel in Texas on the same weekend her once-rumored boyfriend—MAGA singer Kid Rock—was performing.

Boebert’s campaign reported expenses for a hotel stay in Arlington, Texas, and for event tickets purchased in May. On May 16, Boebert attended the Rock N Rodeo — part of the Professional Bull Riding Championship World Finals at AT&T Stadium — an event hosted by Kid Rock. She even shared a photo of herself with the singer on social media.
