Joe Exotic’s Vision for ‘Return of the Tiger King’
You might think this is new, but Joe Exotic has always been about capturing the spotlight. His upcoming documentary series, “Return of the Tiger King,” aims to do exactly that—by showing the world the truth behind his time in prison and his zoo.
Exotic, now serving a 21-year sentence for animal abuse and a murder-for-hire plot, is currently preparing this self-directed project. He claims he has six terabytes of unseen footage, which will reveal what Netflix’s original series couldn’t or wouldn’t show.
His goal? To expose the real story behind his zoo, staff misconduct, and the medical emergencies that occurred.
Unseen Footage and Real Stories
Exotic is confident he has a trove of untold stories. “When I get out of here,” he said during an interview with a reporter last month, “I am going to make ‘Return of the Tiger King.'” He added, “We’re going to show the world the truth about everything.” His claims include footage showing how staff at the zoo was always drunk on duty, real life rescues, and medical emergencies. Exotic insists these were omitted from the Netflix series, calling it a “lies” fest.
The World Will Be Shocked
Exotic’s confidence in his upcoming project is unshaken. He believes the world will be shocked by what he has to show. In the same interview, he stated, “The world is going to be shocked.” His claims about the staff being drunk on duty and the real-life rescues are just part of a larger narrative Exotic wants to tell.
Not Just About the Zoo
Beyond the zoo, Exotic also addresses his relationship with Carole Baskin. He denies hating her, saying it was all for TV. “I don’t hate Carole,” he said. “I dislike her. She sued me; I sued her.” His animosity towards Baskin remains unchanged since their conflict on screen.
Exotic’s claims of staff misconduct and his determination to reveal the truth make for a compelling narrative, but only time will tell if these allegations hold up in the public eye. For now, the world waits to see what Exotic has to show when he finally gets behind the camera.
