Miranda Lambert felt the heat from her fans after she shared throwback pictures of herself with "Joe Exotic" from 'Tiger King.' Joe is currently in federal prison for a murder-for-hire plot to kill Carole Baskin, another tiger enthusiast. Miranda's pictures were captioned with, "Here's a little Monday memory for ya'll. #TigerKing #WayTooPrettyFor Prision.
Miranda's friends were UPSET!! Why would someone who is such an advocate for animals share pictures of herself standing next to a known animal abuser? Miranda quickly let everyone know that she had no idea who Joe was at the time. The picture was taken when Miranda was in Houston to help relocate shelter dogs from Houston to Oklahoma following Hurricane Harvey. Joe Exotic volunteered his trailer and staff. Miranda has never been to his zoo and had no idea he even owned tigers at the time.
