Tiger King star, 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 last week 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.

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."
"This ruling is yet another emotional blow to an already fragile Joe, who has spent the past 3 straight months in solitary confinement. He has been completely unable to defend himself. As hard as this news is, we refuse to accept defeat. Even as we type this message, Joe's legal team is filing appeals and his social media/PR team are rallying public support," the statement continued.
