Even though Naked News anchors have always appeared completely naked on camera, the usual positions they have assumed are standing or sitting. During the earlier days of the show, if the anchors were involved in physical activities that would involve bending, moving, or stretching in certain ways, they would don a pair of briefs to cover their intimate parts if there were a risk of the camera catching more than they would want to have seen. However, while shooting a piece for “Naked News Moves” in 2018 at Hedonism II in Negril, Jamaica, anchors Marina Valmont (aka Cherish Amore) and Shannon Blake (Shannon Cole) opted to do a now somewhat infamous segment completely naked and (we assume) unintentionally take the phrase “the program with nothing to hide” to a new level.
Above we see the totally bare Marina and Shannon joining the clothed Rasheeda of the entertainment staff at Hedonism II for a special lesson on dance moves that would commonly be see at strip gentleman’s clubs. Marina and Shannon revealing they are enthusiastic and fast-learning students aren’t the only things the pair reveals.
When this segment of “Naked News Moves” aired on the September 2, 2018 show, the subsequent viewer, as well as insider, feedback was not what Marina or Shannon might have expected. Many who viewed the segment felt that the two ladies had “crossed a line” by allowing their fully exposed anuses to be seen on camera, which was something Naked News anchors had not done before that point. Of course, the ladies’ vaginas were also seen, but the “twerking” position they both struck during the segment caused their bared buttholes to be the focal point of the “controversy.”
Here is a portion of the November 2019 post Marina posted at Naked News‘ official Reddit page regarding the video and the following controversy:
NN is a naturist program. It’s entertaining and borders the line between mainstream and adult. That being said here is my experience. Shannon Blake and I filmed a now infamous twerk lesson at Hedonism in Jamaica. We were feeling the energy, vibe and freedom that exists in that magical world of inhibition. It was a beautiful and authentic moment. When we came back to Toronto and the segment aired, I can only speak personally when I say this, I felt incredibly slut shamed. I won’t reference the parties who made me feel this way and please don’t point fingers because it’s not who you’d imagine.

Interestingly, this wasn’t the first time Marina bared more than she cared to on a Naked News segment. Back in February 2013, after an interview with pro wrestler Silvie Silver (Szilvia Kuti) for an episode of Naked News’ “Schmooze” segment, a completely naked Marina allowed the fully suited-up Silvie to demonstrate some wrestling moves on her, one of which did allow viewers a “blink-and-you’ll-miss-it” look at Marina’s labia and tiny butthole (which actually looked smaller in comparison to Silvie’s belly button).
Jessie Nizewitz’s Infamous Beach Exposure – A Similar Incident from 2014
A somewhat related incident that comes to mind and added as an additional feature here is that in 2014, reality show contestant Jessie Nizewitz, who appeared on the VH1 reality show Dating Naked, was the “victim” of unintentional exposure after footage of her playfully wrestling nude on the beach with her male partner during a July 2014 episode of the show was aired uncensored and her fully exposed anus and vagina were shown on camera.
