With an approach mirroring Laguna Beach’s heyday (as opposed to Jersey Shore), Siesta Key centers on eight non-impoverished friends spending some summer days and nights in the idyllic central setting, but it wasn’t the group’s emotional confrontations or their relationship juggling that earned star Alex his death threats. it turns out the show’s backlash stems from a recent viral video depicting a group of men, including the self-publicizing animal abuser Michael Wenzel, dragging a shark to death behind their boat.
While it doesn’t appear that anyone from Siesta Beach was directly involved with the video, it has come to light that Alex Kompothecras is allegedly close friends with one of the men from the boat.
