Tiger King’s Joe Exotic Forced To Hand Zoo Over Following Legal Battle

Joe Exotic, the subject of a cult documentary Tiger King on Netflix, has been forced to hand his zoo over to his Tiger King co-star and rival Carole Baskin.

The GW Exotic Animal Memorial Park in Oklahoma had been left by Exotic to his former business partner – and fellow Tiger King star – Jeff Lowe and his mother. However, a judge has now ruled that this transfer was, in fact, fraudulent, and handed the land over to Baskin,

The ruling forms part of a $1 million settlement Exotic was ordered to pay Baskin due to copyright infringement.

A reunion special, The Tiger King And I, followed a month later, although Baskin declined to take part, as she was unhappy with how she was depicted on screen.
