If you've seen Tiger King — which naturally, I assume you have — then you probably recall learning about the unsolved disappearance of Carole Baskin's late husband, and the allegations suggesting that she murdered him and fed him to her tigers.
Unsurprisingly, Carole was not impressed with the brush she was painted with in the series, calling it "salacious" and "sensational".
I can't stress this enough. The world is going through a really hard time right now.
Even if you had no intention of ever watching a documentary about a possibly-insane Oklahoma zoo-keeper, you probably watched it anyway.
But it was worth it just to understand virtually every meme circulating the web rn.
A huge segment of the series was dedicated to digging into the unsolved disappearance of Carole's ex-husband, Don Lewis, in 1997.
Leading up to his disappearance, Don allegedly tried to file a restraining order against her, claiming she had threatened to kill him. However, the restraining order was denied.
Although his body was never recovered, it was speculated that there was foul play involved.
Many indicators, however, pointed toward Carole being a person of interest.
The producers of Tiger King did not hold back.
While Joe was obviously painted as a villain, so was Carole.
I mean, she did say: “If someone wanted to have a cat eat you they’d pour sardine oil on you.”
Seems a bit suspicious that she would know that...
In a statement, she explained that the producers of the show reached out to her five years ago.
But instead, they exposed something else. Something that, perhaps, she wanted to stay burried for another 23 years? (Food for thought).
"Since @netflix and #Covid19 #Quarantine has made #TigerKing all the rage, I figured it was a good time to ask for new leads," he tweeted.
"To see that the series not only does not do any of that, but has instead chosen to be as salacious and sensational as possible to draw in viewers."
She wrapped up her statement by announcing that she will not be using her social platforms to bring any attention to Netflix and "their unethical practices".
"Especially when so many of their so-called inside sources have been clearly shown to be heavily biased," she concluded.
Do you think she had something to do with Don Lewis' disappearance back in 1997?
