‘Tiger King’ star Carol Baskin danced her last dance on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars.
Baskin was voted off the dancing competition show during Monday night’s Disney Night episode where the stars danced to popular Disney movie songs dressed in matching Disney character costumes.
Baskin and her dance partner, Pasha Pashkov danced a samba to ‘Circle of Life’ from Disney’s The Lion King while dressed in fuzzy and gold colored lion costumes.
After her performance, Baskin posted a video to Facebook pleading for the public to vote to keep her on the show and move on to the next dance performance. "Dancing is extremely hard for me, and I need all your votes I could possibly get," she said in the video.
Apparently, it did not work and viewers voted her and her partner off the show.
Baskin is the founder of Big Cat Rescue exotic cat sanctuary in Tampa, Florida. Her feud with rival and Oklahoma big cat zoo owner Joseph Maldonado-Passage, also known as 'Joe Exotic,' was the focal of Netflix’s hit documentary, ‘Tiger King”.
On the show, Joe Exotic made accusation that Baskin is responsible for the mysterious disappearance of her first husband Don Lewis.
Lewis’ family aired a national commercial following Baskin’s first dance on Dancing with the Stars where they offered reward money for information on Lewis’ disappearance and if Baskin was involved.
