Joe Exotic

You'd think that with Joe Exotic in prison and the world having finally moved on from attempting to solve the mystery of who killed Carole Baskin's husband, the drama of Tiger King would finally be at an end.

But if you've ever met anyone like the man-children who made the Netflix docu-series such a hit, you know they spend their entire lives wrapped up in petty squabbles and courting legal troubles until they eventually drive their ATVs off a ravine, and the coroner finds a couple gallons of Busch Light sloshing around in their guts.

We learned this week that there's a lot more Tiger King on the way.

In addition to a scripted drama series starring Nicolas Cage, the Netflix docu-drama has inspired a sequel created by the same filmmakers.

Well, we all knew this was coming.

As unnecessary as it might be, given the fact what made Tiger King so great is that it's the sort of story you just can't make up, the saga of Joe Exotic will now be given the Hollywood treatment.

Ya gotta give Joe Exotic some credit -- the guy started social-distancing long before it was the fashionable thing to do!

Yes, the Tiger King star is currently serving 22 years in prison on animal abuse and murder for hire charges.

Last week, Tiger King star Joe Exotic was accused of bestiality. There were also claims that he fathered a child with a woman and is now a grandfather.

His current husband, Dillon Passage, is speaking out ... and admitting that Joe may have kept some things a secret, even from him.

While Tiger King star Joe Exotic remains behind bars, Jeff Lowe has remained free to continue to smear him.

On top of all of the horror stories that we have all heard about Joe's treatment of animals under his "care," he is now accused of bestiality.

If you've been anywhere near social media in the past six weeks, then you're probably familiar with the gun-toting, meth-fueled feline enthusiast known as Joe Exotic.

And if you watched Tiger King, then you probably feel that after spending seven hours (eight, if you count the ill-advised reunion special) with Joe and his unique menagerie of misfits, you know the guy pretty well.

If you're one of the tens of millions of viewers who recently got sucked into the bizarre world of Tiger King, you might think you know the whole story of Joe Exotic and his menagerie of rivals and co-conspirators.

But you can't sum up such a strange saga in just seven hours, a fact that the stars of Tiger King made clear when they began sharing their own versions of events in the days after the docuseries became an overnight sensation.

By now, you've almost certainly heard about the Netflix phenomenon that is Tiger King.

And unless you're one of those weirdos who's spending their quarantine pursuing a new hobby or re-connecting with family, there's a good chance you've watched the entire thing six or seven times and launched your own cold case investigation into the disappearance of Carole Baskin's husband.

We don't need to tell you that we're living through one of the most bonkers times in American history.

After all, just a few short months ago, you'd probably never heard of Tiger King or the coronavirus, and now those two things are the subjects of roughly 140 pecent of all social media posts.

There are two questions on the minds of American these days:

Will we ever be able to go outside again -- and did Carole Baskin actually feed her husband to tigers?

If you've spent any time on social media in recent weeks, then you're probably aware that there are really only two topics of conversation these days -- the coronavirus and Tiger King.

The two big news items of the 2020s collided last month with reports that Tiger King star Joe Exotic has been placed in COVID-19 isolation in the federal prison he now calls home.

Tiger King is unique from many reality shows and documentary series, in that it filmed for several years before a single episode aired.

Actually, Tiger King is unique from other documentary series in just about every way, but let's stick with this one difference for now.

At this point in the self-isolation process, if you're still not familiar with Joe Exotic, we're almost impressed.

But now that you've basked in our praise, go and binge all seven episodes of Tiger King, because holy lord, you have no idea what you've been missing out on.

At this point, we're pretty sure every person on the planet has watched Tiger King in its entirety and cranked out a few dozen memes featuring Joe Exotic.

We don't have time to crunch the numbers on that, as we're about to watch episode three for the fifth time, and this Carole Baskin murder mystery isn't gonna solve itself.

We hope that this isn't a spoiler for anyone, but Tiger King star Joe Exotic is in prison. 

His fourth husband reveals that they can no longer speak regularly, because Joe 

How to describe Joe Exotic?

The star of Neflix's surprise hit documentary Tiger King is a gay, gun-toting, meth-addicted country singer/politician, who once owned one of the world's largest collections of predatory big cats.

At this point, we assume you're at least passingly familiar with the saga of Joseph Allen Schreibvogel Maldonado Passage, aka Joe Exotic, the gun-toting, polygamous country singer/politician/big cat enthusiast at the center of Netflix's most outrageous documentary series.

If you're somehow unaware of Joe and the absolutely bonkers misadventures that have quickly made him 2020's most-memeable public figure, we encourage you to drop everything and binge watch Tiger King at your earliest convenience.

All over the world, people are stuck in their homes with little do except worry about the coronavirus pandemic and the resulting global economic depression.

In times like these, unlikely heroes emerge -- and because humanity is currently living out the weirdest possible timeline, the man who has come forward to offer us some much-needed distraction is an imprisoned, polygamous, mulleted, gun-toting redneck with a serious jones for big cats.
