The documentary series, which reached 34 million viewers in the first 10 days, is one of the most talked about productions in social media; Names such as Joe Exotic, Carole Baskin, Jeff Lowe are on the agenda with their incredible stories and personalities. However, their increasing popularity with the release of Tiger King did not work well for everyone in the series. Theories that Carole Baskin kills Don Lewis and feeds tigers to the tigers after the documentary was released, while Florida police were not indifferent to this situation and Don Lewis reopened his case. Carole Baskin, who found himself under the spotlight again after the series was released, expressed his discomfort in the recent interview and reacted to the directors who made him look guilty. Carole Baskin Accuses Tiger King’s Directors of Distorting Images Speaking to Tampa Bay Times, Baskin said he was angry at the audience who missed the point in the documentary. According to Baskin, the main purpose of the documentary was to reveal the abuse of animals and how people tolerate this abuse. Stating that Eric Goode and Rebecca Chaiklin, the directors of the documentary series, said that this would be a production that draws attention to the exploitation of animals like Blackfish, Baskin reacted to the rumors that the series killed his husband instead and to focus on Joe Exotic’s quirks. Baskin also claimed that the directors distorted the images to make him look bad. Pointing out to the scene he was talking to the camera while a lion was standing in a small cage in a small cage right next to him, Baskin stated that the lion appearing in this scene came while walking in the open space where he lived comfortably, but the directors showed it as if they were imprisoning the lions in small cages. Eric Goode and Rebecca Chaiklin denied Carole Baskin’s claims, and stated that they never said it would be Blackfish’s big cat version. Noting that Baskin talked about both Joe Exotic and the disappearance of her husband in the documentary, the duo argued that Baskin knew exactly what the documentary would be.
