Whats new pussycat whoa, oh, oh reporter as famed big cat rescue queen Carole Baskin battles her way across the dance floor, this morning the dancing with the stars contestant is also facing legal drama. The family of her exhusband, don lewis, is filing a defamation lawsuit while seeking more information about how lewis mysteriously disappeared more than two decades ago. I keep it inside and wait until everybodys gone before i can break down. Reporter the suit stems from baskins silence on dancing with the stars when her former husband, don lewis, was referenced. The lawsuit claims baskin is currently appearing on dancing with the stars and is complicit with jokes about don lewis death. Baskins fame stems from the Netflix Documentary tiger king in which the star, joe exotic, accused her of murdering lewis. Baskin has denied those allegations. But now a new docuseries called joe exotic tigers, lies and coverup on investigation discovery is taking a deeper dive. An investigator on the show questions why baskin allegedly sold properties only one month after lewis disappearance. Properties reportedly valued at hundreds of thousands of dollars but sold for under 10,000. A 9,000 transaction looks a whole lot different than a 10,000 transaction because anything over 10,000 would have to be reported with a paper trail. Reporter baskin claims the properties were overvalued and says she was trying to help the buyer. She tells the Associated Press she had nothing to do with her late husbands death and would never make jokes about him. Lawyers for baskin say they cant comment on pending litigation.
