News about Joe Exotic

Travis the chimpanzee was adorable, a beloved member of Sandy Herold's family who lived, ate and slept with them... right up until the day he savagely bit a woman's face. The injuries (above) were horrific, almost beyond description. Charla Nash, Sandy's closest friend, was handing Travis a favourite doll when the 13-stone animal grabbed her and sank his teeth into the front of her face. Ms Nash survived, but she lost her eyes, nose and jaw. 'My skull was opened up,' she says, 'My brains were out. He did a number on me.' Incredibly, the risk of being maimed or killed does not deter numerous women in the US from owning chimps and treating them as their children. This is a secret sub-culture, one that causes appalling suffering to the animals, which can sell for $60,000 (£45,000) or even more.

Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com, Joe's attorney Roger Roots said Joe is actively planning for his future.

The 55-year-old told NBC's News Channel 8 he is still hoping for a new trial, on a phone from a Florida Panhandle prison. The zookeeper said he has prostate cancer and possibly cancer of the lung as well, and is also pining for a presidential pardon. His alleged mark, anti big cat owner activist Carole Baskin , was not interviewed, but her third and current husband, Howard Baskin, was. Exotic has accused Baskin of killing her second husband, Don Lewis, and feeding him to her own tigers - accusations he maintained Tuesday in his filmed phone call.

Tiger King director Eric Goode's new series will pull back the curtain on Tonia Haddix, the self-proclaimed ' Dolly Parton of chimps.'

Now in the HBO docuseries Chimp Crazy, Goode is presenting the bizarre tale of Haddix, an animal dealer who kept seven chimpanzees for use in showbiz.

Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com from Santa Rosa County jail in Florida as he awaits a court appearance for a civil lawsuit involving a music dispute, Exotic - who9 has smoked for 40 years - revealed that he will actively choose to succumb to the disease in prison rather than trying to complete the remainder of his sentence.

'Doc' Antle, a 63-year-old boy from Bhagavan, oversaw the selling or buying of cheetah, lion and tiger cubs as well as a baby chimpanzee, all of which are listed as endangered species.

Thomas Tancred's two-part film, which was released on Netflix on Friday, is an Australian-based American crime documentary. It comes after a resident of Larrimah, which is located in Northern Territory, Australia, vanishes in 2017. Paddy Moriarty's disappearance meant that every other resident of the town was now a suspect, despite the fact that the population was just 47 people at the time. The documentary was originally published on max.com by HBO on October 20th.

Since purchasing the animals, Antle, real name Bhagavan Antle, 63, was found guilty of two counts of wildlife trafficking and two counts of conspiracy to trafficking after a jury in June dismissed them. A Frederick County judge sentenced Antle to two years in jail with time suspended for each charge, allowing the two counts to run concurrently on Tuesday. He has been ordered to pay $2,500 per conviction. 'Today, my office's multi-year probe and prosecution has come to an end.' If dealing with violent repeat offenders, large pharma, hackers, and scammers, or wildlife traffickers,' the DA said in a statement, we maintain the rule of law in Virginia without exception.'

Joe Exotic, a former zookeeper, has written a letter to Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow asking for his help in getting out of jail due to their shared nickname. Since being found guilty of a murder-for-hire plot against rival Carole Baskin, the Netflix star, whose real name is Joseph Maldonado-Passage, is now serving a 21-year prison term. However, he seems to believe that Burrow owes him a helping hand because some fans refer to the Cincinnati signal caller as 'The King,' which also happens to be Exotic's name. In a letter sent to Burrow and posted on Twitter, Exotic founder Bernard Exotic declared that the 'Tiger King is my trademark and intellectual property.'

Carole Baskin (left) of Tiger King (left) is being targeted by a private investigator (Jim Rathmann) who plans to search her former Florida animal sanctuary in the hopes of finding information about Jack 'Don' Lewis (right). Baskin, 61, who confirmed this month that she would not close her Big Cat Rescue center, was rightly accused by Joe Exotic (bottom inset) of murdering her ex-husband Lewis - who mysteriously disappeared in 1997 - and throwing his body through a meat grinder. Since then, she has protested her innocence. Don Lewis was last seen in August 1997. At the time of his disappearance, he had obtained a restraining order against Baskin and told police that his wife told him she was going to murder him. In 2002, he was declared legally dead.

In his first campaign tweet, Jailed Joe Exotic has declared that he will run for President of the United States in 2024, criticizing Carole Baskin. Fans are encouraged to consider the fact that he is "incarcerated and gay" after being found guilty of a murder-for-hire plot against rival Baskin.

In a comedic video, Lewis Capaldi introduced a new tell-all Netflix documentary by dressing up as famous characters. In the comedy skit, the Some You Loved singer, 26, pirouetted in a blue ball gown for Bridgerton, pointed to finger guns as a player in Squid Game and posed as Joe Exotic in Tiger King. Lewis continued to delight in his black wig and dress as Wednesday Addams, as well as Orange Is The New Black and Money Heist characters.

Lewis Capaldi has officially got his own Netflix documentary! On 9 March, the "Forget Me" singer revealed that he is "pretty worried" for followers to see it, but "so proud." He dresses up as characters from "Bridgerton"; a masked man from "Squid Game; Joe Exotic from "The Tiger King"; and a robber from "Money Heist"; and in pigtails worn by Jenna Ortega in "Wednesday." He finally appears in a hoodie and joggers to announce that he is now a member of Netflix. "How I'm Feeling Now" is a feature-length documentary that follows the 26-year-old as he returns to his family in Scotland after his ascension to fame. Capaldi's life will be chronicled as he begins to work on his second album, which is expected to be out in May. "This started out as a film about the process of making the 'difficult second album,' but it ended up being an astonishingly unguarded portrait of the pressures of fame on young shoulders, featuring one of our age's greatest discussions of mental wellbeing," said Sam Bridger, head of Pulse Films.

According to Joe Exotic's medical staff, his prostate cancer has spread to his bladder, but the imprisoned Tiger King actor is refusing surgery, according to TMZ. In a letter obtained by the publication, the 59-year-old, who is currently serving a 21-year prison term for being found guilty of a murder-for-hire plot against competitor Carole Baskin, reported that he recently had a lot of blood in his urine and bled a lot during his cancer treatment.

In a new will, Tiger King actor Joe Exotic has left 'everything' to his fiancé. After being found guilty of a murder-for-hire plot against rival Carole Baskin and finalizing his divorce from Dillon Passage in January, the 59-year-old reality star has reunited with former flame Seth last June and has confirmed that he does not want him to have anything when he dies. "I'm so sick of everything's going on over there, with people trying to hurt me and trying to write off my name and everything else.'

On UK television in 2021, Carole Baskin, who appeared in the Netflix film Tiger King, announced that her allegedly dead husband had been discovered alive in Costa Rica, but the accusation is only now viral. Baskin, 61, was infamously accused by Tiger King, Joe Exotic, of murdering her ex-husband Don Lewis, who mysteriously disappeared in 1997. Since then, she has protested her innocence. Baskin referred to a Department of Homeland Security paper in a recent episode that allegedly established her innocence in 2021, which seems to have happened back in 2021.
