“Tiger King” star Joe Exotic is yearning for the public’s help in assisting him with paying off his Netflix nemesis Carole Baskin.
Exotic, whose real name is Joseph Maldonado-Passage, is currently serving a 22-year prison sentence but is expected to be resentenced at a hearing later this month.
Ahead of his day in court, the eccentric former zookeeper announced via his attorney that he has set up a Go Fund Me to “pay that b—- Carole Baskin back.”
“At trial, they falsely claimed that this all started because I owed Carole Baskin money. It started because she became obsessed with me. She haunted me, emailed businesses who worked with me. She is not a philanthropist. I agreed to the judgment after bad advice from lawyers. She hired lawyers to stop a bankruptcy. She then used the debt to make me and the animals suffer. I couldn’t afford lawyers when they set me up,” Exotic claims in a new statement shared with Fox News through his attorney John Phillips.
