Tiger King' Producers Respond to Carole Baskin Criticism: 'She wasn't coerced'

"Netflix's latest true crime documentary Tiger King pulled the curtain and exposed some of the biggest exotic wild animal collectors in the United States, and many of them are not happy with how they were depicted.

Carole Baskin, owner of Big Cat Rescue, slammed the production calling it "salacious and sensational" in a blog post a week ago. She also had issues with the final version of Tiger King, a documentary she claims was pitched to her as the "big cat version of Blackfish," a documentary that exposed abuse at SeaWorld.

"Carole talked about her personal life, her childhood, abuse from her first and second husband, the disappearance of her ex, Don Lewis. She knew that this was not just about ... it’s not a “Blackfish” because of the things she spoke about," co-producer Eric Goode told the L.A. Times. "She certainly wasn’t coerced. The other thing I would say about all these people is that there was a lack of intellectual curiosity to really go and understand or even see these animals in the wild. Certainly, Carole really had no interest in seeing an animal in the wild... The lack of education, frankly, was really interesting — how they had built their own little utopias and really were only interested in that world and the rules they had created."

Goode's co-producer Rebecca Chaiklin added, "I would just say we were completely forthright with the characters. With any project that goes on for five years, things evolve and change, and we followed it as any good storyteller does. We could have never known when we started this project that it was going to land where it did."

Chaiklin told EW she and Goode remain in contact with the documentary's main subject, Joe Exotic, who is currently in prison serving a 22-year prison sentence for hiring a hitman to murder Baskin, his nemesis. News has reached Exotic, legal name Joseph Maldonado-Passage, of his newfound infamy and it's no surprise that he's ecstatic.

Even rapper Cardi B, who live Tweeted while watching the documentary, wants to see Exotic go free.

"Bout to start a gofundme account for Joe. He shall be free," she wrote on Friday."

"Joe has called me quite a few times over the last few days and weeks," Goode told the publication. "One, he is absolutely ecstatic about the series and the idea of being famous. He’s absolutely thrilled. I think he is trying to be an advocate for — no surprise — criminal justice reform. He is in a cage and of course, he’s gonna say that he now recognizes what he did to these animals. With Joe, we have empathy for him, but at the same time, he’s someone who really knows what to say at the right moment. I take it with a big grain of salt when he says he is now apologetic for keeping animals."

Chaiklin added, "You can hardly talk to him without him mentioning the amount of press he’s getting. He says people are asking to see his Prince Albert and girls are sending him sexy bikini pictures even though he’s gay. He’s over the moon. Having kept in pretty close touch with him while he’s been in a horrible county prison, this has raised his spirits. Joe definitely did some horrible things to his animals. He was very abusive to them and he shot five tigers, no question about it. But what has happened to him has also been hard."
 

Tiger King: Police Reopen Cold Case on Carol Baskin's Missing Husband

TAMPA, Fla. - The sheriff of Hillsborough County is taking advantage of the popularity around Netflix's new documentary, "Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness," and asking for any tips that can lead to information on what happened to the husband of Big Cat Rescue's CEO.

The seven-episode true crime series dives into the world of big cat owners. An entire episode is dedicated to the circumstances involving the disappearance of Carole Baskin's husband, Jack "Don" Lewis.

In a tweet, Sheriff Chad Chronister wrote, "Since Netflix and COVID-19 quarantine has made Tiger King all the rage, I figured it was a good time to ask for new leads."

The sheriff shared an image showing a photo of Lewis. If alive, he would be 81 years old. He was last seen on August 18, 1997.

“Don was not easy to live with and like most couples we had our moments,” Baskin said in a recent statement. “But I never threatened him and I certainly had nothing to do with his disappearance. When he disappeared, I did everything I could to assist the police.”

In the documentary, one theory implied that Lewis' body was fed to the tigers. It's a theory that Baskin recently disputed.

One of her biggest rivals, Joseph Maldonado-Passage, who goes by "Joe Exotic," was found guilty in trying to hire a hitman to kill her. He was sentenced to 22 years in federal prison, but recently filed a federal lawsuit against those involved in his case.

Anyone with information about Lewis' disappearance is asked to call the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office at 813-247-8200.

Bro I had no interest in seeing this shit AT ALL since it contains a laundry list of shit that's at the bottom of the "things/people I give a flying fuck about" : white trash, ,homos, florida, meth heads, cowboys,
Animals, sexual predators, crazy cat ladies, etc.

But My wife and I said fuck it and decided to just check the first episode to see what the fuss was about....

Ended up finishing the whole series that same damn night at 2 in the morning.
Its a total train wreck that you cant look away from, and as a documentary its very well put together

Of Course Joe Exotic’s Alligators Belonged to Michael Jackson

Tiger King, Netflix’s latest viral docuseries, just keeps on giving. Although our social-distancing boredom craves Fyre Festival–level controversy to pass the days, we’ll settle for this Fyre Festival documentaries–level chaos. The latest addendum to Tiger King, which apparently needed multiple seasons, involves famous animal lover and accused child sexual abuser Michael Jackson. According to the Tiger King, Joe Exotic himself, seven alligators and one crocodile that used to belong to Jackson died when someone [wink-wink, nudge-nudge] burned down Exotic’s studio and crocodile enclosure. The arson comes later in the docuseries and wipes out Exotic’s recording studio and TV studio, not to mention several live creatures. But the doc didn’t say that there were famous alligators in the bunch! Back in 2015, the Los Angeles Times confirmed that Jackson’s seven gators and one croc did die in that fateful fire, citing Joe Exotic’s YouTube video of the incident, where he describes them “boiling alive in a towering inferno.” The reptiles were taken from Neverland Ranch when it closed and, according to Exotic’s ex-partner John Finlay, acquired by a former manager for the zoo. This story certainly didn’t need another alleged criminal added to the narrative, but it got one anyway.
