Tiger King's Carole Baskin, Joe Exotic and others: Where is the cast now? 

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. 

Jeff Lowe

Joe Exotic recruited Jeff Lowe to save the Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park from Baskin's efforts to shut it down but the former friends had a falling out. The zoo is still open and is now in Lowe's name. He now plans to move the park to a different location in Oklahoma and rename it as Oklahoma Zoo.

Antle is the man that Joe Exotic calls his mentor in the series and is also the owner of  Myrtle Beach Safari. 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

John Finlay was apparently married to Joe Exotic at the same as his late husband Travis Maldonado. It later came to light that Finlay is not gay and was actually having an affair with an employee at the zoo that led to her pregnancy. Since then, Finlay has gotten a new set fo teeth and is currently in a relationship with a woman and lives in Texas.
