The American influencer who came under fire for allegedly taking a baby wombat from its mother in Australia is breaking her silence.

An American influencer who sparked outrage after posting a video of her snatching a baby wombat from its mother while in Australia apologized on Saturday, saying she had acted out of concern for the young animal's welfare.

Sam Jones — the U.S. influencer who stole a baby wombat — was allegedly set to appear on an Australian talk show this weekend, but instead she sent a pre-recorded video message calling out authorities for mass wildlife slaughtering.
