The 'Tiger King' mania is not over. After Netflix ordered another episode titled 'The Tiger King and I' where Joel McHale came to host an after-show, another investigative hour-long special by TMZ to find out the truth behind Joe Exotic's murder-for-hire plot against Carole Baskin. 

 Titled 'TMZ Investigates, Tiger King: What Really Went Down?', the show features almost all key players from the Netflix docuseries, but it is Mahamayavi Bhagavan "Doc" Antle that seems to have grabbed way too much attention. The big cat breeder seems to think that Joe Exotic was framed and was "presented with the opportunity by a pair of snitches." But, that's not the most bizarre thing he said. 

Talking about his personal life, he said he has girlfriends... more than one at a time and that seems to have bowled over several fans and they can't help but demand a separate documentary for him. "Doc: “I’m a guy who does has girlfriends — and I’ve got more than one at a time. And those girlfriends know that fact. And the women in my life know what’s going on.” Ah, so he’s not a cult leader, he’s just a sleaze," one Twitter user posted.

One tweeted, "I’m not married....I have girlfriends...More than one at a time...” WE NEED A DOC ANTLE DOCUMENTARY NOW!!" and another posted, "Oh Doc Antle is in this!!! Honestly, he needs his own special/documentary."

Another one wrote, "I don’t understand how Joe Exotic is in jail but Doc Antle isn’t?"

One went on to write, "Okay all you #TigerKing watchers should have let me know I was going to hate Doc Antle this much," and another said, "Okay and why hasn’t Doc Antle been looked into more I’m sorry but he’s clearly abusing animals and leading some sort of cult. Definitely has delusions of grandeur."

Viewers can't stop cracking jokes about the other 'Tiger King' stars. "Jeff Lowe perpetually looks like a guy trying to score a Red Bull and Vodka #TigerKing," one said and another posted, "So when is Carole Baskin going to jail??" Another tweet read, "A documentary about @realDonaldTrump would put #TigerKing to shame. For real."

'TMZ Investigates, Tiger King: What Really Went Down?' aired on Monday at 9 pm ET/8 pm CT on Fox.
