Carole Baskin 

Carole Baskin slammed the Tiger King as 'salacious and sensational' after its premiere because it covers the disappearance of her second husband, Don Lewis. She refuted the claims in a statement that the makers devoted an entire segment to 23-year-old lies suggesting that she was involved in her husband's disappearance. Carole Baskin continues to run her Big Cat Rescue animal sanctuary in Florida, where she lives with her third husband, Howard Baskin.

Joe Exotic

Joe Exotic is currently serving a 22-year prison sentence for hiring a hitman to kill Baskin. Just recently, he filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Interior and the U.S. Federal Wildlife Service for more than $70,000 claiming that they added "generic tiger" to the endangered species list to target businesses like his. Joe Exotic is seeking an additional amount of money from Jeff Lowe and several of his former colleagues for planting evidence against him.

He raised quite some eyebrows with his polygamist lifestyle as he was involved with multiple female partners at the zoo. Doc Antle is currently still running his T.I.G.E.R.S  park in Myrtle Beach. 

John Finlay
