Lions, tigers, meth...and that b*tch Carole Baskin.

I never buy into the hype when a new series hits Netflix. The last thing I really HAD to see was Making a Murderer. But, Tiger King took social media by wave via memes so I had to see what the hype was all about. Boy, Im glad I did.
Tiger King is a documentary that depicts everyday life in exotic zoos across the country, and profiles the people who run them. I didn't find the scenarios too far fetched given that I personally know people who compare to these folks seeing as I grew up in Walker County, Alabama. The series is jammed packed with love circles, crime, and exotic animals.
Joe Exotic is an exotic zoo keeper, and country music icon, that seduces young men with meth. Very Walker County minus the tigers. He manages to pull two young men who are half his age, and marries BOTH of them (and I can't even get a text back after being on the cover of a magazine). He has an ongoing feud with that bitch, Carole Baskin, and openly threatens to kill her multiple times throughout the series. FREE MY MAN.
Joe Exotic has filed a $94million lawsuit since the documentary's release, and is currently seeking a pardon from the Donald. However, given the success of Exotic's political career, it would more than likely lead to a landslide in his favor during the 2020 presidential race if he was released. Exotic has it all. The guy is a juggernaut ranging from his exotic animal knowledge to his political prowess, and you can sprinkle in a dash of country music superstardom.
Carol Baskin is the owner/operator of The Big Cat rescue located in Tampa, Florida. She has been in an ongoing feud with Joe for the last ten years or so. She ultimately takes worse care of her animals than Joe, and is the lead suspect in her late husband's disappearance. She would be the wildest character in any other show, but Tiger King is chopped full of a cast of characters that makes you think, "Holy Shit," from start to finish.
The grits hit the pan, and one of Exotic's most valued employees loses an arm during the middle of a tour. Exotic informs everyone in the gift shop of what has happens, offers a refund, and proceeds to pull out the most fire EMS bomber jacket the world has ever laid eyes on. This causes a financial shit-storm that leads to limited funds. After the burning of his alligator farm/recording studio/film editing studio/living quarters- Exotic seeks financial help from Vegas playboy, Jeff Lowe.
Alright, the three key players you need to know about now are Exotic, Baskin, and Lowe. Here is my theory on Jeff Lowe being in cahoots with Baskin to take down the Tiger King.
Lowe buys in thinking that he can use the animals Exotic has to continue his playboy lifestyle. An open swinger, Lowe fancies the finer things in life. Platonic relationships. Blowing it on in Vegas. The whole nine. But, he goes broke.
Carole Baskin 100% cut a deal with Lowe to have Exotic taken away. Why? He has gone about making an ass of her for the better part of a decade. Plus, anyone with half a brain could see that Exotic was a man of theatrics, but he absolutely cared for his animals better than anyone. Especially Carole.
So, Lowe turns out to be a poser, and a broke wannabe. Granted, Joey Tigers did steal around $65k from him, but ultimately Carole was going to take everything they had. It just makes sense for Lowe to be the guy setting up Joe to cover his own ass. Plus, with all the evidence of Joe saying he would kill Carole, it was easy to convict him.
Lowe made out like a bandit. Setting Joe up lead to him to getting full control of the of the zoo. No joke, if I could extort someone out of millions of dollars worth of tigers- I would think about it. I mean, everybody loves tiger cubs. Especially the ladies. Lowe loves the ladies... It's a vicious cycle.
Carole Baskin was an idiot. The cold case of her missing husband has since been opened after she ran her fat mouth on the documentary. Oh yeah, she killed her husband. No doubt. Like, how the actual f*ck did she know his hand wouldn't fit in the grinder that she regularly prepares the tiger's meal in? Stupid...
This series blew my mind. I didn't want to get into too much detail but I have no issues spoiling it all. Overall, Joe Exotic is a G. I mean, look at the guy. RIP his youngest husband Travis, and his beautiful ballsack.
