Seemed odd to me everytime she talked about him dying she was smiling and laughing ......

Yes.

BlackCatSleeping · 04/04/2020 10:32

There's no evidence that she did kill him. I'm really uncomfortable with all the name calling. Why do women always have to put up with this shit? The way Joe treated her was utterly disgusting with the sex doll and stalking her place.

PonyosGreenBucket · 04/04/2020 10:38

If you go on Dillons insta there's no pics of Joe. It's all him with young women, partying.
And Joe has liked all of them.

It's kinda sad but super creepy

This. She was born into poverty (which is much worse in the states), raped as a young teen and was likely prostituting herself to survive when she met her first husband. The first husband sounds like a piece of shit in his own right. His ex and kids blame her, but he's the one who walked out.

She endured years of Joe Exotic's vile, misogynistic videos about killing her. She had to spend $$$ to sue him to get him to stop and even then he tried to hire someone to kill her. If she's looney tunes it's because of all the shit men in her life. Glad she seems to have found love with someone stable.

Yes

DD and I started watching this recently...my god the whole story is just so bizarre, stuff you couldn't make up! (and we're only 3 episodes in). It's not the sort of thing we would normally watch at all but we're hooked.

I don't think she killed him herself but I suspect she had a hand in setting him up to be murdered and disposed of in Costa Rica (eg. a word in the right person's ear? Dropping him in it with some big drugs baron? A dodgy deal?)

As for all the guys - what a vile, misogynistic, abusive bunch they are.

how worrying that they all have guns

Well, tbh, I don’t agree with guns in general but I think it’s wise to have them when you are living and working in close quarters with predators.

Plus, it is the heartlands for redneck gun ownership.

Maybe when you are in with the animals, not when you are in the gift shop, mixing with the public etc.

ipswichwitch · 04/04/2020 13:38

I dunno Hear.... there were some terrifying pants and condoms in that shop with Joes face on. If ever I needed a gun it’d be then!

BlackCatSleeping · 04/04/2020 13:48

I still have nightmares about the padlocks. Because apparently normal rings are too big for the hole. 🤢

BlackCatSleeping · 04/04/2020 13:48

I mean too small for the hole obviously...

DartmoorChef · 04/04/2020 13:48

Possibly one of the most crazy and weird things ive ever watched.

Lockdownloony · 04/04/2020 14:00

No I don’t think she killed him but I don’t think she was sad about it.
No one comes off as being a great human I think in this!

DisgraceToTheYChromosome · 04/04/2020 14:02

When I saw the snow leopard in the van, that was me done. Maybe if it was miniature horses (like Arnie's), or hippoes (much more dangerous than tigers), but these beautiful creatures? Pfft.

Balhammom · 04/04/2020 14:06

Amazed this thread hasn’t been deleted.

I hope MNHQ have been saving up for a big libel claim...

megletthesecond · 04/04/2020 14:43

What I love is that I've never watched it but from Twitter and FB I know exactly what you're all on about.

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 04/04/2020 14:50

I read on twitter that the case of the missing husband has been reopened.

It makes me wonder what will happen now there is Covid. ITs' bad enough trying to walk a dog, never mind looking after big cats - didn't the documentary say there were 4000 tigers living in captivity as "pets" in the USA?

oohnicevase · 04/04/2020 15:00

5-10,000 in captivity and 4000 in the wild .. shocking !!

oohnicevase · 04/04/2020 15:00

America is bonkers .... vile that this is allowed !! Has anyone watched dirty money on Netflix ? Shocking craziness!

TopBitchoftheWitches · 04/04/2020 15:06

Balhammom hi Carol 🙂

footprintsintheslow · 04/04/2020 20:12

To me Jeff was the lowest of the low. I feel sick thinking of him fathering a little girl with his hideous behaviours. I hope a big cat gets him soon.

YgritteSnow · 04/04/2020 20:40

Yes and I think her Dad helped her.

PaperFlowers4 · 04/04/2020 20:59

No. Not even a little bit.

Just doesn’t seem plausible.

user1471565182 · 05/04/2020 01:10

I think hes hiding out in Bon Jovi

lalafafa · 05/04/2020 01:44

I’m amazed more people aren’t talking about the fact that her new husband was cruising and she was clearly a sex worker when they met.
Only just realised
