Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness tells the story of a zoo owner, Exotic, who spirals out of control amid a cast of eccentric characters and plans a murder-for-hire plot against Baskin.
Exotic has a deep-rooted dislike for Baskin – as seen in his several odd music videos and online rants – because she accused his zoo of mistreating animals.

She claimed that since the documentary aired she’s received death threats, spotted drones flying above her home and her doorbell camera has captured up to 30 people a day waiting outside her Big Cat Rescue sanctuary gates.
Baskin created the Tampa-based Big Cat Rescue sanctuary to fight big cat breeders by saving tigers, lions and other exotic cats from unfit homes.
Her sanctuary does not breed, buy or sell animals. The public is also not allowed to interact with the animals. But she did admit to breeding animals in the past.
Sam has been keeping active on social media during lockdown and on Wednesday posted a video of her dancing with her two-year-old daughter Rosie.
