They wanted, at least locally, to counter message Carole Baskin’s, in their mind, lies and fraud.” “Since ‘Tiger King’, Carole has done daily diary entries and was going to use this show as a springboard to her message. “The family never really got the chance to know and years have gone by,” he continued. ![]() A lot of her contention with Joe Exotic was about whether she was involved in Don Lewis’ death.” There was ‘Tiger King’ - and it focused on the exotic animal industry - but a lot of it was about the death and disappearance of Don Lewis. “All the messaging about Carole and her fame comes at their peril. She was the featured person in all the commercials and last to dance,” Phillips said. It’s landed her on a major TV show, ‘Dancing with the Stars’. “Carole Baskin goes on YouTube, Facebook and does blogs every single day getting out her narrative.
