Carole Baskin sues Netflix over "unauthorized footage" in "Tiger King 2"
CBSN
Carole Baskin, the owner of a Tiger sanctuary in Florida, has filed a lawsuit against Netflix over the use of her image in the upcoming sequel of its popular "Tiger King" documentary series. Baskin is demanding the streaming giant to remove any mention of her name and her sanctuary, Big Cat Rescue.
The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida Tampa Division, names Netflix and the Royal Goode production company as defendants and claims the "Tiger King 2" trailer uses "unauthorized footage" of the plaintiffs and alleges they will suffer "irreparable harm" if the show is released.
The lawsuit claims the couple had only signed forms to be featured in the first series. Netflix declined to comment when reached by CBS News. The show is set to return on November 18.
