‘No f**ks given': More than 30 influencers rescued from sinking $4m yacht
This cruise was a total washout for these wannabe celebs.
Around 30, budding, bikini-clad influencers took a luxurious Lamborghini Tecnomar out for a spin in the waters off Miami Beach on Saturday – only to have their hopes for a picture-perfect jaunt sink when the posh yacht started taking on water.
The glamorous but clueless bunch cracked jokes and appeared mostly unbothered by the harrowing ordeal.
The Coast Guard and a good Samaritan boat swooped in to get everyone off safely – with many of the influencers able to save their most prized possessions, including a MacBook and a $350 bottle of Clase Azul Gold tequila.
The pricey booze was cradled by former Miss America competitor Regan Hartley on a rescue boat while someone else shouted, 'The baby is safe,' according to one video.
Social-media footage showed the rescued young women taking photos or videos of their sinking yacht from afar.
'No f**ks given,' an Instagram user noted of the blasé attitude of the group. 'Everyone on the sinking yacht taking selfies.'
The high-end boat began sinking near Florida's millionaire haven of Star Island around 5pm, and was nearly vertical as its 32 passengers and crew members rushed to the deck, the Coast Guard said.
Some of the attention-seeking wannabe trendsetters provided a behind-the-scenes look at their brush with disaster.
A series of videos from a model and stylist showed the women, now all in life vests, standing on the top of the sinking, 63-foot, black and white boat as each is led onto a Coast Guard vessel.
'Sheesh,' a woman can be heard saying as each one was rescued. 'F**k, f**k.'
After the group got off the sinking yacht, the woman posted a video of the Lambo boat nearly submerged with only the front of the boat still peeking through.
'How did this happen?' another woman can he heard saying in a second video posted by aerial dance instructor Anita Ayala.
Another young woman can be seen in a separate video holding tight to her MacBook laptop in footage posted by Miami guide Luis Leon Martinez.
'Women and children first, women and children,' a man can be heard jokingly shouting as some of the already saved women laughed.
Officials said the women were taken to the Miami Beach Marina.
Authorities have not identified the owner of the yacht nor details of why it went under.
'We saw, like, a bunch of cop boats, like police boats, and there was another yacht that was flipped over, completely vertical in the water,' witness Rachel Miller told WSVN-TV News.
The Tecnomar is a limited-edition fleet of just 11 ships designed by the high-end Italian car maker.
One such boat belongs to former MMA fighter Conor McGregor, who bought his for $3.6 million in 2021.

UFC commentators stunned as main event cancelled after Maycee Barber has reported seizure
The UFC world has been left stunned after the Vegas 107 main event was cancelled at the last possible moment after Maycee Barber suffered a seizure. Barber was supposed to be returning after a 14-month layoff due to several health issues to face rising contender Erin Blanchfield. However, she never made it to the UFC Octagon after suffering a seizure as she started to make the walk. UFC 316: Dvalishvili vs. O'Malley 2 | SUN 8 JUN 12PM AEST | Bantamweight champ Dvalishvili faces UFC superstar O'Malley in a highly anticipated rematch less than a year after their first encounter | Order Now with Main Event on Kayo Sports. Barber missed weight ahead of the card as concerns about her health lingered but no one would have expected what happened on Sunday. After the UFC broadcast played the pre-main event video package, no fighter emerged much to the confusion of the commentators. After half a minute of silence, Brendan Fitzgerald informed fans Barber was 'not prepared to walk'. 'I'm still getting details but all I know is that she is not walking to the Octagon right now,' Fitzgerald said. 'This is truly unprecedented and for me, for a main event prepared to make the introductions and she's not there to walk right now.' The broadcast team quickly cut to an ad break before returning to confirm the main event had been cancelled due to a 'health event'. That health event was later confirmed to be a seizure, as fighters quickly sent their well-wishes to the 27-year-old. 'Seizures! Woah, that's very serious. Hopefully, she is able to recover and fight again. Prayers to her,' Australian UFC fighter Casey O'Neill wrote on X. 'Prayers up to Maycee Barber,' one fan added.

Couples Therapy is a documentary series that follows real couples through months of couple's therapy with a highly regarded therapist. The series is filmed almost entirely in the therapist's office where we watch a diverse group of couples dive into their long standing conflicts, explore their personal histories and seek connection and new compassion for each other. In Couples Therapy Australia , we are taken through multiple sessions of therapy with psychotherapist Marryam Chehelnabi. The premise of Couples Therapy is that most couples suffer in isolation, rarely sharing the truth of their struggle with others. In fact, studies have shown that couples that seek therapy stay miserable for six years on average before they reach out for help. This show allows audiences the opportunity to watch people in conflict move through differences and find fresh avenues of connection. At its core, this series is purely documentary. Situations are not contrived; the stakes and tension are not manufactured. These are real, relatable couples in crisis, doing the actual work of therapy. Although the therapist's office is custom built for the production, it is unlike any other sets in that production is entirely invisible to the subjects. The couples entering the therapist space never see a camera, or a light stand. The show is rigorously designed so the therapist and the couples forget about the cameras and expose their true selves to each other and to us.
