'The Truth Behind Joe Exotic: The Rick Kirkham Story' will air on Investigation Discovery at 9/8c. This special is a part of ID PRESENTS: NINE AT 9, with new premieres running nightly at 9 pm ET on Investigation Discovery.

Plot

In his self-proclaimed last interview regarding 'Tiger King', TV producer Rick Kirkham opens up in an explosive tell-all to expose the truths behind what he saw at the GW Zoo and his time with the eccentric figure, Joe Exotic.

In this one-hour special, Kirkham shares insights into how his nightmare began and how he faced his point of no return just three months after being hired to produce Exotic’s internet show. Kirkham knew he struck gold with the quirky cast of characters and captured all the content he could for his own reality show.

But after a fallout with Exotic, Kirkham found his entire collection of footage ravaged by an arson fire, a criminal act that has yet to be prosecuted. After yet another fire plagued his home in the US, Kirkham knew he had to flee for his safety and settled down in a small village in Norway to escape it all.

Now, Kirkham is ready to reveal his side of the salacious saga once and for all and will unveil exclusive footage from some material that survived the fire.
