Tiger King star, Carole Baskin, has said that she is a strong "#FreeBritney" supporter, and proceeded to compare the pop singer to a "caged tiger" due to her conservatorship arrangement in a new cameo.

"I just want to shout out to Britney Spears who is being treated like a caged tiger at the moment in a legal conservatorship," Baskin says in the Cameo. "It's not right, and I know something about conservatorships, oh my gosh. Once those things are in place it's just nothing but a free-for-all for all of these attorneys to just gobble up as much of the money as they can possibly get their greedy little grubby paws on. So free Britney."

"She should be in the wild," Baskin continued. "And she should really be wary of others, especially those closest to her. Stay cool, cats. Free Britney."

Spears is facing renewed concern for her wellbeing following her recent social media posts during the coronavirus lockdown.

Fans have speculated that the Toxic singer may be suffering due to the conservatorship she has been under for the past 12 years. Britney was first placed under a conservatorship by her father back in 2008 after suffering a series of mental breakdowns, which necessitated medical intervention.

The hashtag "#FreeBritney" has subsequently been making the rounds on social media.

In other Tiger King related news, Joe Exotic has spoken out on his long-standing nemesis, Carole Baskin, being awarded his zoo.

Per the Independent, it was ruled by a judge back in June that Exotic's transfer of the GW Exotic Animal Memorial Park in Oklahoma to his former business partner Jeff Lowe and his mother was fraudulent.

Baskin, who currently owns Big Cat Rescue, has been awarded control of the zoo as part of a $1 million judgment that Exotic was ordered to pay her for copyright infringement.

Lowe has been handed a 120-day eviction notice to vacate himself and his animals from the property.

Exotic, also known as Joe Schreibvogel, has since said that the decision is "treachery".

The star of the hit Netflix docuseries was convicted of orchestrating a murder for hire plot to have Baskin killed and various animal abuse charges in 2019, for which he is now serving 22 years in prison.

In a tweet, the former zoo owner said that the ruling was "yet another emotional blow" to his "already fragile" state. He contentiously proceeded to link his statement to the death of George Floyd, on May 25th in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
"While we again acknowledge it is truly time to pray for justice for George Floyd's family as well as an end to systemic racism in America, we must address Carol Baskin's treachery before it goes unchecked [sic]," the tweet reads.

And in an official statement, Exotic's management team asserted: "It's with heavy hearts we must officially address the court ruling that transferred ownership of the G.W. Zoo to none other than Carol Baskin."
