Baskin won the million dollar judgement after she sued Exotic for trademark infringement. Exotic tried to transfer the zoo to Jeff Lowe and his mother but a judge said the move was fraudulent, so Baskin gets the property to settle the score.
Jeff Lowe has 120 days to get himself, his animals and anything that he rightfully owns off of the property. Lowe just reopened the zoo last month, calling it Tiger King Zoo after the Netflix docuseries that shot Exotic, Baskin and Lowe to fame.
Carole Baskin, whose longstanding feud with Joe Exotic was chronicled in the hit Netflix docuseries “Tiger King,” has been awarded the zoo once owned by her nemesis. https://t.co/1Pa5xUtqau
