“Joe Exotic locks tigers in cages. That’s inhumane. Here at Big Cat Rescue we rescue the tigers and keep them in cages until they die.” - Carole Baskin
Tiger King? I thought you were posting about a newly discovered WW2 German tank...
At least that would be interesting...
So you didn’t watch Tiger King yet?
I haven't. I've been told it's pretty crazy but I have a hard time sitting still for things that really interest me. My wife will most likely give it a shot at some point and I'll inevitably wander through and say, "WTH?" and watch a minute.
The craziest moment by far was when the husband Travis shoots himself in the head in front of the campaign manager after saying there was no clip in the gun. I was wondering the whole time why he wasn't being interviewed.
The most underrated crazy moment, for me, was the arson that took out the studio/alligator house.
I have to say I was all the way shocked when they started talking about Carole killing her husband. I did not see that coming at all. The way the producers presented it makes me think she did it for sure.
His behavior seemed suicidal leading up to it, but was a crazy moment. The guy's reaction to someone blowing the brains out in front of you seemed relatively calm.
Joe Exotic blowing up his own studio (quite certain he was behind it) was wild.
I do think Carol had a a hand in Don's death, but don't think she fed him to the tigers. She's a complete lunatic. Her crazy laugh every time she talks drives me mad.
Jeff smuggling tigers in suitcases in Vegas hotels to get laid was a new one.
We have only 1 or 2 more episodes left. Rumors of season 2 are foating out there.
Lifetime- the "All Men Suck" network. Swear2god.... every time I walked through the room when that channel was on, there was some dude in a tank top beating helloutta some poor hapless woman.
So glad My Wife migrated elsewhere. Next, we gotta wean her off Hallmark- the whitest-bread channel on the dial.
The man, the myth, the legend, Joe Exotic has spoken out from jail.
The star of Netflix's breakout docu-series Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness reacted to the mega-success of the series from behind bars at the Grady County Jail in Oklahoma.
In a jailhouse interview with Netflix, Joe, who is currently serving a 22-year sentence, spoke about everything from his nemesis Carole Baskin to his thoughts on being famous to if he's a changed man since being found guilty in 2019 for paying a hitman $3,000 to kill Carol.
“When I walk out of here, am I going to be as crazy as I was before?” he said, before answering the question himself. “That will never change.”
While Joe was told how much of a success Tiger King has become, he has not yet seen the docu-series and admitted that he'd love to actually be able to celebrate its success. “You know, it’d be nice if I could actually see me being famous out there, but I’ve seen these same four walls for a year and a half now,” he said.
Joe's husband, Dillion Passage, recently told Andy Cohen that the former zookeeper was "ecstatic" over all the attention the show is receiving. “It was a lot of good feedback, and he likes attention, obviously. He calls himself ‘Joe Exotic the Tiger King,’” he said of his husband, adding, Joe is “100 percent” enjoying the spotlight.
During his jailhouse interview, Joe spoke of being grateful for Dillon's support, saying, “As short a time as I was married to Dillon, and still married to Dillon, you know 8 months before I got arrested for all this. It’s been a year and a half of sleeping in a car and going from couch to couch and house to house. I can’t thank my husband enough for standing beside me."
While Joe said he's still the same crazy Joe as he was before he went to prison, he did admit to being "ashamed" of the way he treated the animals at his G.W. Exotic Animal Memorial Park. “Go sit in a cage with your animals for a week,” Joe said when asked what he’d like fans of the docu-series to know. “I mean, when I left the zoo and I sent my chimpanzees to the sanctuary in Florida and imagined what my chimpanzees went through for 18 years, I’m ashamed of myself.”
He also noted that he was "done with the Carole Baskin saga."
“It’s now time to turn the tables and Joe get out of jail a free man and exonerated from all these charges," Joe shared.
