This Country star Daisy May Cooper has claimed Penguin publishing house has refused to pay her final book instalment.
The actress, 35, jokingly said she will now "only communicate through Carol Baskin".
Daisy published her memoir Don't Laugh, It'll Only Encourage Her with Penguin imprint Michael Joseph last Thursday - but says she is yet to receive her final pay cheque.
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, she slammed the publishing house, writing: "Penguin still aren't paying me my final installment, despite doing all the press/everything they f***ing asked for with the book. So I am refusing to communicate unless it's through Carol Baskin."
She shared a video clip of Tiger King star Carol, from celebrity pay-for-play video site Cameo, with the 60-year-old demanding "pay Daisy her money" and joking she and the actress will "be coming after you with nets and leashes and tranquilizer darts".
Carol says in the video: "Pay Daisy her money! What's the matter with you guys? Pay her what you owe her, for crying out loud.
"Daisy is not going to be talking to you guys any more, she's gonna go through Carole Baskin and bring the message through me to you because you guys are askin' for a Baskin by not paying Daisy what she's owed."
She warns: "Daisy and I are gonna come after you, we’re gonna put you in a cage just like the animals that you are for not paying what she is owed.
"What are you thinking? We’re going to be coming after you with nets and leashes and tranquilizer darts for crying out loud!"
The video was finished with: "I usually sign off by saying ‘Stay cool, cats’, but you’re not being cool cats, so pay Daisy and then maybe we can have a cool cats and kittens conversation…’
Fans of Daisy were in hysterics in the comments, with celebrities including Megan Barton-Hanson, Jason Manford and Roman Kemp leaving laughing emojis.
It's not clear if the video is another prank from the actress, after she recently wound them up after requesting to stay in a hotel haunted by the ghost of a dog when she was asked for accommodation preferences for her promotional tour.
Daisy kept up the prank until the unnamed agent joked that she was "a pain in the a**e" and messaging: "Just stick me in a travel lodge [sic]."
The Mirror has contacted Penguin for a comment.
