* NonSingingVoice: Though Joe insists otherwise, those songs he lip-syncs to in the music videos featured in the documentary are neither written or sung by him - they were actually produced for hire by songwriter Vince Johnson and singer Danny Clinton, with Joe simply giving them notes on what the song should be about. Note that when Joe sings on a couple of occasions he sounds very different.

** There's also a ColbertBump prominently featured on the show's narrative itself: ''Series/LastWeekTonightWithJohnOliver'' featured Joe Exotic on a segment of its episode about third party candidates during the 2016 U.S. presidential election, which gave him free publicity. This is even a minor plot point in a later episode.

* After the series was filmed, Bhagavan Antle attempted to clean up his image, often getting celebrities like Wrestling/TheUndertaker and Creator/{{Logan Paul}} for pictures. The raid on his park mentioned in the final episode was completely unrelated to anything covered in the series, being part of an investigation into another zoo in Virginia (And it wasn't really a "raid" like the series claims so much as an investigator coming onto the premises and asking questions, which is hardly the LaserGuidedKarma the series frames it as). Antle was formally charged with animal trafficking and animal cruelty in connection with his dealings with that zoo in early October.

Added DiffLines:

* Jeff Lowe lost his licence to display the animals and has tried to get around it by exhibiting them online on using the park as a set for Tiger King cash-ins; this is possibly illegal but nobody has ever been successfully prosecuted for it.
* Tim Stark (the neck monkey guy) also lost his license and was later arrested for attempting to intimidate the government inspectors and for fleeing arrest.
