Kim Kardashian is demanding answers after being left baffled watching Netflix’s new documentary, Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness.
The seven-episode series does exactly what it says on the tin, with the owners of an animal sanctuary and a zoo in Oklahoma going to war against each other.
Ending in a supposed murder-by-hire plot of animal activist Carole Baskin, Joe Exotic, former leader of G.W. Zoo, is currently in prison serving a 22-year sentence.
Kim, naturally, is fascinated by the tale, and wrote on Twitter: ‘Has anyone seen Tiger King on Netflix?!?! It is crazy!!!!’
It seems that half of Calabasas, California is in on the hype of the story – which has everything from tigers ripping off limbs to country songs that may or may not have been lipsynced.
But the case of Carole’s missing first husband, Jack ‘Don’ Lewis, who was declared legally dead in 2002, is the thing that got her stumped.
Kim later added: ‘Wow the amount of texts I’ve gotten about Tiger King since I tweeted about it all have mentioned their belief that Carol killed her husband!
‘What are your thoughts? Do you think Carol killed him? (Sic)’
Carole has adamantly denied any and all involvement of Don’s disappearance, who went missing in 1997 after ‘going away to Costa Rica’ and never returning.
Joe Exotic has made extreme claims publicly that Carole killed Jack and either buried his body under a septic tank, or fed her husband to tigers.
He even created a music video for Hey Kitty Kitty where a lookalike Carole feeds a butchered body to tigers, with the lyrics documenting his twisted version of the story.
Following the release of the documentary, which had an episode focused on Don’s disappearance, Joe’s accusations and Carole’s defence against the allegations, Carole has slammed its portrayal of her first marriage.
Maintaining her innocence, she wrote in a lengthy blog on her Big Cat Rescue website that she has nothing to hide.
‘Anyone who wants to put up the money to replace our septic tanks is welcome to dig them all up,’ she wrote.
She also told People in 1998: ‘Can you imagine having people think you killed your husband or wife and not being able to prove otherwise?
‘Without a body, there is nothing I can do to clear my name.’
Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness is available now on Netflix.
