MIRANDA LAMBERT SHARES PHOTO WITH "TIGER KING'S" JOE EXOTIC

Miranda Lambert Shares Photo With “Tiger King’s” Joe Exotic

The hottest series on Netflix right now is “Tiger King” and it seems Miranda Lambert has a personal connection to one of its stars, Joe Exotic. The singer shared a throwback photo posing with Joe, commenting, “Here’s a little Monday memory for y’all.”

But not all Miranda fans thought the pictures were funny, especially since Miranda is a huge animal lover, and Joe has been accused of abusing, and even killing animals. Miranda later took to social media to explain the photos, sharing that at the time of their meeting, Joe was actually helping her rescue animals.

“During Hurricane Harvey, the MuttNation Team went to Houston to help relocate existing shelter dogs to free up shelter space for animals separated by their owners,” she tweeted. “MuttNation asked for volunteers who could transport some dogs from Houston to shelters in Oklahoma, where there was more room and they could be treated and adopted. Some guy named Joe volunteered his trailer and staff.”

She adds, “now I know it’s ‘Joe Exotic’ I’ve never been to his zoo and I didn’t even know he had tigers. OBVIOUSLY I’d never condone animals being treated badly.”
