Just when we thought Tiger King couldn’t get any crazier, the internet discovered that Britney Spears has met not one, but TWO stars before — and we’ve got the photo proof.
Buckle up for this, all you cool cats and kittens.
Ever since ‘Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem, and Madness’ came out on Netflix, the world has never been the same.
Just based on the memes alone, it’s clear that people are enthralled with the eccentric personalities featured in the docuseries.
This includes Joe Exotic, Carole Baskin, and Doc Antle.
It’s even been reported that the Florida authorities are looking for more leads on the mysterious disappearance of Carole’s husband, Don Lewis.
Many conspiracy theories have come up since the series aired, with many fans believing that Carole fed Lewis to her tigers using sardine oil…
If you thought that was crazy, even *more* wild stuff has come to light since the doc aired.
Yes, folks, the plot thickens .
Thanks to some expert internet sleuths, it turns out that there are several celebs who have been involved with all the cool crazy cats and kittens of Tiger King .
Basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal, for instance, made an appearance on the documentary.
Since then, he’s caught a lot of flack from those who believe that he’s friends with Joe Exotic.
Joe is the former zoo owner who the documentary is centered on since he was sentenced to 22 years in prison for murder-for-hire for plotting to kill Carole.
Shaq ended up addressing the allegations of their “friendship” on his podcast, ‘The Big Podcast With Shaq.’
“Listen, people are going to make their own opinions, but, again, I was just a visitor. I met this guy — not my friend. Don’t know him,” Shaq said.
“Never had any business dealings with him, and I had no idea any of that stuff was going on.”
Shaq’s not the only athlete connected to the crazy world of tigers.
Boxer Floyd Mayweather posted a picture of himself with a cheetah at Doc Antle’s zoo in February 2019.
Even Beyoncé visited Doc Antle’s zoo!
In 2019, she got to hang out with a tiger and chimp at Myrtle Beach Safari.
And now, we bring you to Britney Spears’ surprisingly involvement with not one, but *two* ‘Tiger King’ stars.
The first comes from the singer’s infamous “I’m a Slave 4 U” performance at the 2001 Video Music Awards on MTV.
She had a tiger behind her on stage during the performance, as well as a snake around her shoulders at some point.
What fans soon noticed, however, is that Doc Antle is the tiger handler behind her in a photo!
Um, Brit-Brit, you’ve got some explaining to do!
But that wasn’t all.
Fans uncovered another picture of Britney from the 2002 VMAs, where she’s sitting next to none other than Carole Baskin, owner of Big Cat Rescue.

Of course, Carole was dressed in cheetah print.
Ever since these photos hit Twitter, people have been going nuts.
The reactions are certainly mixed.
Based on all the craziness that’s gone down in Tiger King , some hate to see the princess of pop involved with personalities from the series.
The photos have led to many, many questions:
Did she go and visit the tigers at the different zoos, too?
DOES SHE ALSO THINK THAT CAROLE KILLED HER HUSBAND?!?!
Here’s a more in-depth look at Doc’s involvement in Britney’s performance:
Can we just talk about Doc’s long, dark hair for a sec?
There’s some serious panic going on, rn.
Some are even upset that Britney wasn’t featured in the documentary.
“Britney Spears not being included in the tiger king series is bad journalism,” this fan wrote .
While Britney has yet to address the throwback photos, we bet she’s watched the series.
She’s clearly fan of exotic tigers, after all.
In case you wanted to catch video proof of Doc’s appearance, he appears around the 0:23 second mark.
