One notable incident occurred on August 7, 2002, when a female trainer named Tamaree was sitting by the edge of a back pool interacting with Orkid and Splash. A video captured by a park guest showed Tamaree talking to the whales and intermittently placing her foot on Orkid's rostrum, contrary to safety protocols. Eventually, Orkid seized Tamaree's foot and pulled her into the water. | One notable incident occurred on August 7, 2002, when a female trainer named Tamaree was sitting by the edge of a back pool interacting with Orkid and Splash.

According to former trainer John Hargrove in the 2013 documentary "Blackfish," another trainer arrived and removed a chain from the gate as a signal to Orkid that the older and more dominant female Kasatka was entering. Orkid and Splash subsequently released Tamaree, who escaped the incident with only a broken arm. | According to former trainer John Hargrove in the 2013 documentary "[[Blackfish - film|Blackfish]]," another trainer arrived and removed a chain from the gate as a signal to Orkid that the older and more dominant female Kasatka was entering.

There have been instances of aggression during artificial insemination procedures involving Orkid and the trainers. Orkid has shown a dislike for these procedures, and in 2007, she caused minor injuries to a trainer by swiping her head and making contact, which resulted in the trainer being knocked over a wall. While Orkid has engaged in natural mating with males in the past and has undergone artificial insemination multiple times, she has not been successful in achieving pregnancy thus far. | There have been instances of aggression during artificial insemination procedures involving Orkid and the trainers.
