===Feud with other Schreibvogel family members and former GW Zoo employees=== With the exception of his brother Garold, Exotic did not have a good relationship with his family; in particular, his estranged brother Yarri has been very critical of him, believing that he manipulated the Schreibvogel family to take the money from Garold's death for himself. Exotic's niece Chealsi Putman, who worked at the GW Zoo periodically from 1999 to 2017, also criticized him. In April 2021, Putman was interviewed by Louis Theroux for ''Shooting Joe Exotic'', where she claimed that the tigers Exotic shot were not sick. Several of Exotic's former employees at the GW Zoo have called out his actions in interviews after the release of ''Tiger King''. He has most frequently been criticized by Rick Kirkham, who claimed that things were "a hell of a lot worse" than what's depicted in ''Tiger King;'' ""[Watching Tiger King], you kinda had a little bit of a heart for the guy, but you really didn't realize or get to see how evil he really could be, not only to animals but to people." In the ''Tiger King'' aftershow, Kirkham stated that Exotic was terrified of lions and tigers, and remarked "It's idotic to think how Exotic's become famous as the Tiger King when he's so terrified of big cats."
