Tiger King, which premiered on Netflix on March 20, has become a media sensation. The series, which follows the lives of a bunch of narcissistic animal abusers, has struck a chord with Americans stuck in quarantine. Joe Exotic, the main focus of the show, is currently serving a 22-year jail sentence for animal abuse and plotting to carry out a murder-for-hire plot against rival Carole Baskin.
Joe Exotic has garnered the support of high profile celebrities such as Cardi B, who suggested starting a GoFundMe to help get him released from prison. Other celebrities such as Shaquille O’Neal have been criticized for supporting Joe Exotic in the past. And Dax Shepard said he’d make a pretty good Joe Exotic if there ever is a movie adaptation. However, Joe Exotic said he’d prefer Brad Pitt or David Spade to portray him.
