“The video shows an American woman defecating in Udaipur’s sacred lake.”
What FACTLY found
The woman in the viral clip is not an American tourist in Udaipur. She has been identified as Ellie-Jean Coffey, an Australian model and surfer, and the video was filmed during a family boat trip in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. Talking to the media, she clarified that she has never visited India and reposted the clip on her Instagram account on 12 October 2025, stating that she is an Australian citizen.
