    Fisher Stevens knows his shit with documentaries. He’s won an Oscar for previous work. NOOMBER JOOONY FAYVE!!!!

    cardi B has started kickstarters and petitions to get Exotic released like, now. Bitch, what part of “Fuck that piece of shit” do you not understand?

    Did he get railroaded? Yes. Is he a rotten human being? FUCK yes. Stick to being an overrated rapper or go back to the brass pole. You are not above either of those things.

    That’s probably a Halloween thing, but don’t tell me he isn’t already the most emasculated NuMale you’ve ever seen. These rich crazy broads always love to marry doormats they can just slap around at will. The kind who will just put his head down when she FedExes some Brazilian boy-toys in for the long weekend.

    The documentary confirms that those pictures are from their wedding. I think in most of the others he was just wearing a big suit jacket over that costume.

    Cardi B said she drugged and robbed her tricks back in the day. She'd be right inline with Jeff Lowe's operation.

    I did the exact same thing. But, it was full on dumbfoundedness. Like, when people say "I was shocked" they don't mean 1/3 of what he actually represented in that moment. It was bizarre watching that as a real reaction instead of an actor portraying that utter disbelief in what he had just seen.

    In some weird way, I think it was more traumatic to me than if we actually saw him shoot himself.

    I felt the same way. It was such at utterly stripped and raw human moment. And that poor kid Josh was the most normal, idealistic and sober-minded of their entire crew, he was in no way experienced or ready for something that awful.

    I also really felt bad for the long-haired guy with the low IQ who got the job from Craigslist. You could tell he really felt like a somebody working at the zoo and truly loved the animals, his final monologues were wrenching to say the least.

    friend just told us it was joe who did it. She was one of the producers the chain smoking main producer took with him when he went there from Dallas. Now it makes sense.

    said they had a lot of illegal stuff on that footage, them admitting “sponsored” animals were no longer at the park (and still taking the money. Joe giving expired animal medication to the employees for personal use.

    Then you KNOW he’s got copies of a lot of that stuff. The narcissist in him is too strong.

    wouldn’t surprise me if the producer’s team still had copies too. Maybe just the idiot on camera doesn’t know about it. No way they didn’t make digital copies. The technology was there and easy to use. She lived at the zoo the whole time and I just found out one of her friends — whom I know very well — visited her a few times. Small world. I have no reason to doubt any of the info.

    Great long-form article on all of this. Adds even more fucked up layers to the story.

    edit* including some I’d rather not know. Creepy fucker has his dick pierced, because of course he does

    The best analysis I saw was that Joe Exotic is Steve Irwin's version of Wario.

    I like that how says he said he hurt his leg in a chainsaw accident. He got bit by a tiger. Named Chain Saw.

    I suspect Joe Exotic has just put a spin on everything that has ever happened to him. It's a tweaker thing.

    I like that the article explains a long and highly manicured pinky nail as an eccentric fashion choice.
