The Irwins’ brand is animal-loving, adventure-seeking and above all else, family-friendly. This legacy was created by the late Steve Irwin and lives on through his wife Terri and their two children, Robert and Bindi.
However, a recent spate of racy photographs could threaten the family’s reputation.
Steve and Terri’s niece, Rebecca Lobie, has been posting revealing photographs of herself in bikinis and lingerie to her Instagram account.
The pics have then beamed out to her 118,000 followers.
While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with the mother of two’s choice to post these pictures on social media, it would no doubt come as a huge blow to the Irwins, who’ve spent years cultivating their wholesome family image.
Bindi, 21, in particular, is thought to be uncomfortable with the posts. According to reports, the two cousins were close growing up, especially when Bindi’s parents worked at Australia Zoo alongside Rebecca’s parents, Frank and Joy Muscillo.
Rebecca, who has been married to her husband Mick for 13 years, also previously worked there, with her LinkedIn profile revealing she was the managing director of the zoo until 2015.
However, Bindi and Rebecca, who works as a restaurant manager in Mooloolaba, Queensland, are understood to no longer be as close as the used to be and don’t even follow one another on social media.
