Shaquille O’Neal reveals that he never visited the zoo after finding more about Joe Exotic
Many wondered whether Shaq had any acquaintance with Joe Exotic, an incarcerated criminal. The ex-player clarified the situation on the latest episode of his podcast “The Big Podcast With Shaq.” He said that despite visiting Joe Exotic’s Oklahoma zoo years ago, the two are not friends today.
“So we go in there, and it’s a beautiful place, and the character that was there was Exotic Joe,” O’Neal began. “We’re there and I dropped some donations for the tigers’ foods and all that. We take pictures with [the] tigers. We went back a couple times, then we go back another time and we found out that he’s involved with all the stuff, and then, actually, I stopped going.”

Shaq said that when he learned the animals were being mistreated, he never returned to the zoo.
“I don’t harm tigers,” he said on the podcast. “I love tigers, I love white tigers. Do I put donations to these zoos to help these tigers out? I do it all the time. Do I own tigers personally at my house? No. But I love tigers. Listen, people are going to make their own opinions, but, again, I was just a visitor. I met this guy — not my friend. Don’t know him. Never had any business dealings with him, and I had no idea any of that stuff was going on.”
