23 Dec CAROLE BASKIN DROPS ACTION AGAINST TIGER KING 2 PRODUCERS

Following a failed attempt to obtain an injunction to stop use of interview footage of them being used in Tiger King 2, that is beyond the first season of Tiger King, Big Cat Rescue founder Carole Baskin and her husband Howard Baskin have decided to drop their lawsuit against Netflix and Royal Goode Productions LLC.

After initially seeking a jury trial and at least $100,000 in damages, in a statement on their website entitled “Terminating Netflix Lawsuit”, the Baskins claim that the “lawsuit was never about money damages … rather than suing those who produce salacious lies, our time should be spent working on meaningful productions”.

As well as taking a swipe at the producers, the Baskins contrasted the performance of Tiger King 2 with their series, Carole Baskin’s Cage Fight, currently being streamed on discovery+, and documentary The Conservation Game, stating that they had “… received very strong positive reviews in contrast to Tiger King Season 2.”
