Joe Exotic is "done with the Carole Baskin saga".
The 57-year-old star of the Netflix docuseries Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness - who is currently serving 22 years in jail for a murder-for-hire plot and several federal charges of animal abuse, including violations of the Endangered Species Act - has insisted he doesn't have any interest in reigniting his feud with the animal rights activist and just wants to get his life back.
Speaking from jail, he said: "I'm done with the Carole Baskin saga. It's now time to turn the tables and Joe get out of jail a free man and exonerated from all of these charges."
