Joe Exotic Says He’s Planning ‘Return of the Tiger King’ Using Unseen Footage

From prison, he casts the project as a bid to counter Netflix’s portrayal.

Overview

  • Exotic, serving a 21-year federal sentence, says he is in talks with Los Angeles producers for a self-directed series titled Return of the Tiger King to be released after he gets out.
  • He claims to possess six terabytes of previously unseen zoo video that he says will show what the Netflix series and his trial left out.
  • Among his unverified assertions, he alleges the trove includes footage implicating former business partner Jeff Lowe in sexual assault.
  • Exotic reports his prostate cancer is worsening and says his final bid to overturn his conviction was rejected by Colorado judges last year.
  • He now says the televised feud with Carole Baskin was exaggerated for effect, yet he continues to level accusations she has long denied and for which she has never been charged.
