Tiger King fans may be left reeling by the shock revelations of season two of the bonkers documentary series that could hand Joe Exotic a ticket out of jail.
The first season of the series dropped on Netflix last year while the world was in lockdown, becoming a bonafide phenomenon and global point of discussion.
And the second season of the series has dropped on the streaming service today – offering five more episodes focusing on the lives and scandals of Joe Exotic, Carole Baskin, Jeff Lowe and more.
Fans of the show will recall that 58-year-old Joe was jailed for 22 years after being convicted on 17 federal charges of animal abuse and two counts of attempted murder for hire due to his plan to have 60-year-old Carole killed.
But new evidence shown in the second series shows alleged hitman-for-hire Allen Glover saying in a sworn testimony that he never planned to kill Carole.
He instead claims that he and Jeff plotted to kill Joe – with an elaborate plot to decapitate the country-music singer while he was out riding his roofless Jeep.
Allen says he is spilling the truth now because it is: “the right thing to do” and states: “I wanted Joe’s head on a spike. I was going to kill Joe Exotic, I hated him that much.”
He claims: “We came up with a plan to decapitate Joe’s head to kill him, to clear him away from the property so that Jeff could take over the animals.”
Cameras even show Allen back at the zoo to find the wire he planned to string up between two trees, hoping Joe would drive through it in his open-top jeep.
The shocking confession could impact Joe’s current jail time – weeks after the star begged to be released early as he is suffering from cancer.
Earlier this month it was revealed that Joe – whose real name is Joseph Maldonado-Passage – had written a letter begging for an early release after being diagnosed with "aggressive" prostate cancer.
He wrote that he was innocent and wanted to "enjoy what life I have left with my loved ones".
He also added: “I don't want anyone's pity.”
A lawyer working on behalf of the reality star claims he is due to be granted a resentencing hearing and has been petitioning for the process to be sped up.
Meanwhile lawyer John M Phillips previously tweeted: "He and I spoke Monday with both of us in tears at a point.
"He needs freedom by so many definitions and we are diligent working towards that."
While he added to the BBC : "justice in America is very slow”, requested the star be released to gain access to "good medical treatment outside of the prison system”, and added: "We can't spend four months on him waiting to get treatment.”
Tiger King 2 is streaming on Netflix now.
