'Tiger King': 8 Things the Netflix Series Left Out

Joe Exotic Complained He Couldn't Use the 'N-Word'

In 2015, Moldonado-Passage filmed a "Joe Exotic TV" segment in which he complained he could not use the "n-word" as a white man. "What's going on in this country? It's absolutely pathetic. I can't say the n-word but you can get on YouTube and watch any black man's video and they're calling each other the n-word. What the hell?" he said in the video, which resurfaced on TMZ. "Is this discrimination? I'm white, I can't say the n-word and they can?"

Moldonado-Passage's racism was not covered in Tiger King, which Chaiklin defended in a Hollywood Reporter interview. "Yes. Joe is a racist, I would say categorically. He said things when we were filming that were very unsettling,"she said. "They didn't have a context in the story, but he has a lot to learn. I think most of it was ignorance and not having a lot of exposure, and I think he even evolved over the course of the time that we filmed."

Joe's Second Husband is Serving Life in Prison for Murder

Moldonado-Passage's second husband was not mentioned in Tiger King. He was first in a long-term relationship with Brian Rhyme, who died from complications of HIV in 2001. The next year, he began a relationship with Jeffrey Charles 'JC' Hartpence. The relationship turned violent, and Moldonado-Passage left after Hartpence held a gun to his head while drunk. years after the two broke up, Hartpence was put on a sex offender registry after he was convicted for "aggravated indecent liberties" with a child under 14 years old. He is now in a Kansas prison for the 2014 murder of Curtis Shelton and is not eligible for parole until 2034.

Joe Exotic Faked Cancer

Moor shared a photo Moldonado-Passage once gave him, claiming it was evidence he was dying from prostate and bone marrow cancer. He used Facebook to raise money from his fans for medical expenses. However, Moor discovered the photo was taken after Moldonado-Passage had an infected prostate, dehydration and a "bad outbreak of herpes." Moldonado-Passage also once claimed he had tuberculosis, which even caused PETA to slam him in 2014 for putting his Garold Wayne Interactive Zoological Park employees and animals at risk. In 2015, he released a video, claiming he was actually diagnosed with CVID, an immune deficiency disease and never had tuberculosis.

Carole Baskin's Ex-Boyfriend Jay Baykal Took Out a Restraining Order Against Her

Carole Baskin's relationship with Jay Baykal after her husband Don Lewis disappeared was not mentioned in Tiger King, even in the episode devoted to Moldonado-Passage's belief she killed Lewis. In 2002, Baykal filed a restraining order against Baskin, and it included a bizarre detail about Lewis' disappearance. Baykal claimed that when he asked Baskin what would happen if Lewis showed up, she replied, "Dead body cannot talk." Baykal also wrote that Lewis' daughter told him Baskin "could be dangerous and watch my back."

Allen Glover Claimed on the Stand he Did Go to Florida

In Tiger King, Allen Glover - a handyman who worked for Jeff Lowe and was allegedly the first hitman Moldonado-Passage hired to kill Baskin - claimed he did not actually go to Florida. Glover took Moldonado-Passage's money and disappeared, so Moldonado-Passage hired another hitman who turned out to be an undercover federal agent. Glover later spoke with authorities and his testimony played a big part in Moldonado-Passage's conviction.

However, as Moor notes, Glover said on the stand he actually got drunk and drove to Florida, where he passed out on a beach. He told the prosecution he intended to warn Baskin about Moldonado-Passage's intentions. He never did that, and went back to South Carolina after he ran out of money. Moldonado-Passage's lawyers claimed Glover was making this up.

In a Secretly-Taped Conversation With James Garretson, Joe Explained How Baskin's Murder Would Happen

Of course, Tiger King could not cram in all the evidence against Moldonado-Passage that led to his conviction. One piece of evidence was a secretly-recorded conversation between him and James Garretson, a businessman who worked with Jeff Lowe and later became an informant for the feds. In the conversation, which Moor reports was played at the trial, Moldonado-Passage described how the hitman was going to buy a go-phone to communicate with Lowe and later throw away. If the hitman was caught, "we got our story down to where we fired the motherf— and he just went off the deep end," Moldonado-Passage told Garreston.

Lowe and Joe Wanted to Open a Bisexual Strip Club/Petting Zoo Called 'Tigers and Dreams'

When Moldonado-Passage first teamed up with Lowe, one of their ideas was to buy up land next to GW Zoo and open a bisexual strip club and petting zoo called "Tigers and Dreams," according to Moor. The plan changed to become a drive-in movie theater and Lowe convinced a man named Joe Barth to "lend" him equipment to start construction. Instead, Lowe sold the equipment, so Barth filed a lawsuit. Barth's home went up in flames the next day. He told the Daily Beast he still fears for his safety.

Joe Made Employees Sign $1 Million Non-Disclosure Agreements

One really puzzling part about the whole Tiger King saga is that none of Moldonado-Passage's employees spoke out about the horrible conditions at the zoo. One reason for that, according to Moor, is that he made them sign $1 million non-disclosure agreements, which were not legally valid. "Just so you know most everyone you have talked to from the zoo has 1 million dollar confidentiality contracts from the zoo," Moldonado-Passage wrote in a text to Moor.
