Lexis Star Rescues Turtle in Amazing Video: "Call Me Mrs. Irwin"

Miami-based podcast host and content creator Lexis Star is showing a softer side in one of her latest social media videos, and fans are loving it.

In a clip shared to Instagram, Lexis stopped to help a turtle that appeared stranded near a busy road. While admittedly nervous throughout the rescue attempt, she still made sure the animal got out of harm’s way.

“Call me Mrs. Irwin…but the wish version,” she joked in the caption, adding that the “turtle was stuck on the road with passing traffic.”

The video captured a candid moment as Lexis hesitated while trying to pick up the turtle, laughing and panicking through the process.

“Let’s save a turtle, but I’m scared,” she said in the clip.

A second voice off camera encouraged her to carefully grab the turtle from the sides, reassuring her that it was not a snapping turtle. At one point, Lexis worried she might accidentally drop it if its feet suddenly came out of the shell.

“What if his feet come out and I drop him?” she asked.

Despite her nerves, she successfully helped move the turtle away from traffic. Near the end of the clip, she spoke softly to the animal, saying, “What’s up, buddy?” after realizing it seemed frightened.

The lighthearted rescue quickly drew attention in the comments, with many fans praising both the unexpected moment and Lexis’s sense of humor.

The post stood out from the creator’s usual interview and podcast content, giving followers a more spontaneous glimpse into her day. Some commenters focused on the funny dynamic of the rescue, while others complimented Lexis for stopping to help the turtle instead of driving past.

One commenter wrote, “Never mind the turtle, she’s smoking,” while another jokingly warned her to “be careful” around turtles.

The overall reaction was overwhelmingly positive, with fans enjoying the mix of comedy, chaos, and genuine concern for the animal.
