CNNIsn't it ironic, don't you think?In the wake of the bonkers story about a Bengal tiger roaming the streets of Houston and a murder suspect who allegedly ran off with the big cat, CNN turned to an unusual expert: Carole Baskin, star of the hit Netflix docu-series Tiger King.
Baskin, as you may recall, gained worldwide notoriety from her appearance on the series, which focused on her long-standing feud with private zoo operator Joe Exotic, who was sentenced to 22 years in prison for plotting to murder Baskin.
One of the major subplots of the series, meanwhile, revolved around rumors and allegations that Baskin had her second husband killed.
(Exotic and others claim she fed her husband to a big cat, a charge Baskin vehemently denies.).
