‘Tiger King’ Producers Respond to Carole Baskin Criticism

Ben Higgins is ENGAGED… Demi Lovato accidentally popped in… Drake shares pics… Chris Brown horrified as fan tries to ‘break into his home’… and ‘Tiger King’ producers respond to Carole Baskin criticism

Bachelor Ben Higgins is off the market…again! He first appeared on Kaitlyn Bristowe’s season of “The Bachelorette” back in 2015. He then went on to become “The Bachelor” and got engaged to Lauren Bushnell, but they ended up calling things off in 2017. But now Ben is engaged — and hoping this one sticks — to Jessica Clarke. Apparently, they started dating after he slid into her DMs. Ben originally planned to propose earlier this month in NYC. He and Becca Kufrin were schedule to be there for their “The Bachelor: Live on Stage” tour. But after Coronavirus put the tour on hold, Ben changed plans and popped the question on Friday at Jessica’s parents’ home in Franklin, TN. Ben told Entertainment Tonight, “I went back to a pond behind her house, and we had set it up with sunflowers near a bench. It’s right in their backyard, but a little hidden. I proposed and her family and mine were watching from a distance, and then we all celebrated together. And no, he didn’t use a Neil Lane. Ben says he worked with a jeweler in Denver for three months to design Jessica’s ring.

Demi Lovato and Max Ehrich have been very flirty with each other on their Instagram, but they won’t come right out and say that they’re basically living together in quarantine. But while Max was doing an Instagram Live performance for his fans, Demi accidentally walked up behind him. When she realized what was happening, she covered her face with a blanket and scooted out of the shot.

Have you ever wanted to know what Drake’s baby looks like? Well, surprise! Got to his Instagram! Drake just shared several photos of his 2-year-old son Adonis, including one with his son’s mother, Sophie Brussaux. Drake included a long and deep post about connecting to our inner light and how everything comes down to intention and did I mention that it’s really long and deep?

What is most important for you right now is to connect to your own inner light. This will create the biggest opening of all. Trust that you have all of the power within to make this happen, and in order to do that connect to the people and things that bring you a lot of joy. When the mind starts to move into overthinking or fear, shift your attention right away to something bright. It doesn’t matter what has happened in the past or what is happening around us now, you can always make the choice to break free of the wheel of suffering and panic and open up to your own light. We are powerful manifestors , so once you make the choice in the moment to shift your awareness to something good, it will show you in your reality. Be conscious, especially right now of fears coming in from others, and recognize that not everything should be held by you. Laughter is your best medicine, but tears can also be a powerful release. Let go of any judgment you may have around that. Remember that you are never alone, and if you need to be reminded of that ask for support and it will show up. Everything comes down to intention, and even though there are conflicting energies circling around us you must KNOW…It will rebuild. But in order for that to happen, you have to do exactly that. Trust. You have the biggest heart and that is your greatest gift. It’s impossible to always control your surroundings, but when you shift the focus to how you want to feel, everything will conspire to assist you. I love and miss my beautiful family and friends and I can’t wait for the joyful day when we are all able to reunite. Until then please keep your lights on. 🤍

Chris Brown has had his fair share of stalkers, and he posted his most recent encounter on his Instagram. Chris is cowering behind his backyard dance shouting at a woman in the distance who is yelling at him, “Do you know Lorena?” and claiming to be his life partner. Members of Chris’ security team filmed the whole thing, laughing at the woman and calling her crazy. Apparently she had tried to climb Chris’ fence and this interaction was caught while she was leaving the property. Chris captioned it, “MENTAL ILLNESS IS REAL!! SHE TRIED TO SNEAK OVER THE GATE AT MY CRIB BUT SHE SAW MY DOG and he saw her.”

Carole Baskin is NOT pleased with how she was portrayed in “Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness” documentary. She claims the show was pitched to her as “the big cat version of “Blackfish” and “would expose the misery caused by the rampant breeding of big cat cubs for cub petting exploitation and the awful life the cats lead in roadside zoos and back yard if they survive.” Carole said, “There are not words for how disappointing it is to see that the docuseries not only does not do any of that, but has had the sole goal of being as salacious and sensational as possible to draw viewers.” She also says the podcast about Joe Exotic was more fair depicting her second husband’s disappearance. But co-producer Eric Goode told the LA Times, “Carole talked about her personal life, her childhood, abuse from her first and second husband, the disappearance of her ex, Don Lewis…She certainly wasn’t coerced.” And co-producer Rebecca Chaiklin added, “With any project that goes on for five years, things evolve and change, and we followed it as any good storyteller does. We could have never known when we started this project that it was going to land where it did.” And by the way, they both say Joe is THRILLED that he’s become so famous. Rebecca said, “You can hardly talk to him without him mentioning the amount of press he’s getting…Girls are sending him sexy bikini pictures even though he’s gay. He’s over the moon.” She also says they have “a crazy amount of footage” and the story is still unfolding. So there COULD be a follow-up docuseries to cover all of that.
