Tiger King star Dr. Bhagavan 'Doc' Antle has made bold claims about the factual inaccuracies within Netflix's popular docuseries.
Speaking to Hit's Fifi, Fev and Byron, the 60-year-old animal trainer disputed allegations he had a harem of wives and claimed he felt manipulated by the production team during filming.
'It is not a documentary - it's a sensational ride down the director's story path, but it is outrageous and unique,' Antle said from his home in the US state of Oklahoma.

Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness is a docuseries exploring America's big cat breeding industry and its bizarre underworld, populated by eccentric characters, including its main star Joe Exotic (real name Joseph Allen Maldonado-Passage).
Antle said he believed the director manipulated him to give certain information.
'The director created a story by coming to speaking to the various entities and telling all of them a completely different tale he was pursing and what type of story he was trying to write to try to gain access to different aspects of their lives and activities and what they had to say about each other,' he claimed.
Antle has previously stated that he thought the show would be about his Myrtle Beach Safari and conservation efforts in Sumatra and Africa.

'I am by no means married to anybody or have a harem like they are suggesting': Antle told the radio hosts he never remarried after his late wife died 25 years ago in a car accident
Antle told the radio hosts he never remarried after his late wife, who was the mother of his son Kody and daughter, died 25 years ago in a car accident.
'I am a guy that does date. I live alone in my house. I have a few girlfriends now and they certainly know about each other, but I am by no means married to anybody or have a harem like they are suggesting,' he said.
The founder of Myrtle Beach Safari also joked about Joe Exotic's ex-husbands.
'How straight can you be to roll yourself up in bed with Joe Exotic? I think the line is pretty crooked there,' he joked.
He added: 'I've met these guys, I know them, but I don't have a long friendship with them... but they seem like a pretty gay lot... They are eccentric gay cowboys.'
