GOOD Morning America’s Ginger Zee has shocked fans with a terrifying throwback picture on social media.
The meteorologist took to Twitter to include side-by-side images of herself and her son.

The photo of Ginger‘s boy saw him looking on at jellyfish in an aquarium, while the shot of the GMA star was her swimming amongst jellyfish in open water.
“There is nothing like watching them learn…” Ginger wrote in the tweet with reference to her son.
“And then telling them about the time mommy swam with jellyfish hope you all had a safe and wonderful Sunday.”
Despite the light-heartedness of Ginger’s post, fans were all voicing their anxieties about the journalist swimming amongst jellyfish.
“I assume those jellyfish don’t sting,” one person noted.
“NGL that pic on the right gives me anxiety,” another professed.
“Most Jellies have a nasty sting.”
A third viewer went as far as to tell Ginger that the jellyfish story was not fun due to their uneasiness over the picture.
“Yeah…..no Ginger – those are not the best jellyfish stories!” they wrote.
However, some fans supported Ginger’s courage to swim amongst the sea dwellers and teach her son about science.
“Your boys are so lucky to have you for a mom! I never did well in science….it’s so much easier for me if I can see it,” a user commented.
ON-AIR BLUNDER
Ginger also recently made waves amongst fans after misspeaking during live coverage at Times Square in New York City.
On February 3, the GMA meteorologist reported a cold front coming over the midwest and northeast.
She explained that some of the coldest conditions from the storm would be felt throughout areas in Boston and upward.
“Portland, Oregon, could break records there at 44 below,” Ginger said.
Except the TV star did not mean to say Portland, Oregon.
Ginger was actually talking about Portland, Maine, which was set to encounter a dangerous wind chill that causes frostbite in just 10 minutes.
Unsurprisingly, fans were quick to point out the mistake on Twitter.
One viewer tweeted directly at Ginger, adding a freezing emoji: “You scared me this morning when you said -44 degrees in Portland Oregon!”
The 42-year-old was quick to correct herself: “Did I say that? If so obviously did not mean it lol.”
NOT THE REAL GINGER
The wild Twitter activity has continued for Ginger over the past few weeks.
She has been blocked by some accounts on the platform, leaving some fans worried about her social media presence.
Several fake accounts have allegedly been created to impersonate Ginger.
One of these was caught by a fan, who tagged Ginger’s real Twitter page, which has the iconic blue check mark next to the handle.
They also attached a screenshot of the fake account, which had a picture of Ginger as the profile image and the background portrait as one of her children.
The fake account also copied Ginger’s biography nearly word for word.
Ginger also replied back to the post about the fake page, however, she claimed that she was unable to see the phony account.
“I must be blocked from them as I can’t find it…” Ginger wrote at the time.
According to Twitter’s official blocking procedures, it may be more likely that the account was deleted, either by the user or by Twitter staff.
The U.S. Sun has contacted Twitter for more information as to why Ginger might not be able to see the fake account.
