Tiger King star Saff Saffery has shared his thoughts on Joe Exotic – and he has nothing but praise for the former GW Zoo owner.
Joe’s life and work at the zoo was documented in the hit Netflix series, which quickly became a hit upon its release to the streaming service in March.
Following his appearance in the show, Saff has spoken more on his thoughts on Joe – who is currently serving a 22-year sentence for conspiring to kill rival Carole Baskin – in a chat with Pink News.
‘What you guys saw, that was Joe Exotic at his finest,’ he said. ‘But there was a lot of things that were not shown.
‘He used to put on these beautiful dinners every single Thanksgiving at the farm for people to come and have a hot, wonderful home-cooked Thanksgiving meal for free.’
And when asked if the show depicted him and the other cast members accurately, he responded: ‘Yes, definitely! As far as our personalities and characteristics, yes, that was pretty spot on.
‘But there’s always more to every person’s story. What is shown within a few hours, that’s just wrapped up in a nutshell.
‘On my behalf, there’s so much more to me than what you guys saw on camera. I gave made my mistakes and I’ve had my struggles and my hardships.’
Saff, 34, also admits to missing his job at the zoo and the people he used to work with.
‘I miss the work that I used to do with them – being in their presence because that was a blessing in itself.
‘But I think that when I was focused on these animals, it was with only me in consideration.
‘The people that I cared about, the people that mean the most to me, were kind of put on the back-burner.’
He added: ‘Now that I am able to pull them to where they belong in that priority seat.’
Tiger King is available to stream on Netflix.
