First story:
Danica Patrick shared the graphic results of a trip to Starbucks gone wrong.
The former NASCAR driver, 42, shared a series of shocking photos via his Instagram Story on Sunday, December 1 after the burning water apparently caused damage.
“Burnt coffee for day 1,” Patrick posted alongside a photo of his burnt left thigh. He added “Starbucks 🖕🏽.”
The image showed a circular burn mark with a large red area around it.
“Anyone else thinks their hot water is hell [sic] is it hot?” Patrick asked, giving more insight into what had happened.
On the third day after the burn, Patrick posted another picture of his thigh which showed a deep red circle with the area around the burn mark beginning to scar.
“Day 3,” he captioned the photo, which included its own meme Kristen Wiig's Target Lady actress from Saturday Night Live looking disgusted.
The former race car driver shared a final photo of the burn, this one with a large bandage covering the area. “Cute, may remove it later,” he wrote.
Patrick has been busy since officially ending his racing career in 2018, most recently as the on-air host of Sky Sports UK's Formula 1 broadcast.
“Now I'm going to sleep at night after that show 🤪 but we had so much fun!!!!!” Patrick posted on Instagram on Monday, November 25 after working the F1 Grand Prix in Las Vegas. “@maxverstappen1 is now a 4 time champion…. In a row!”
As part of Sky Sports, Patrick jumped on a plane to celebrate the big race in Vegas. “This was the opening race!!! 🛶 🛩️ 🚁 🪂,” he wrote along with the crazy video on Instagram.
Away from racing, Patrick showed off a new passion this summer during Burning Man, an annual art and expression festival hosted in the makeshift town of Black Rock City, Nevada.
“In dust we hope. 🌪️,” Patrick captioned a series of photos posted on Instagram on September 5, which included two photos of him kissing an unnamed man. “In that week of the year, 80,000 of us go out to a place that is not in Nevada to live in another reality where money is hugs, love and helping each other. ❤️.”
The relationship was the first time that Patrick has gone public with his partner since he split from the businessman Carter Comstock in March 2022 after almost one year together.
“Burn my child! 🔥,” Patrick captioned another set of photos from Burning Man, including a selfie with a friend and NHL star Jonathan Toews. “I have never seen a better fireworks display than the night this man set fire to it.” What an amazing week of beautiful skies, cool art, hot days, cold nights, DJs from 5pm to 8am, weird sleeping hours and amazing people waiting for you no matter what hours you're awake! 🙏🏼”
