=== Involuntary manslaughter and domestic abuse ===

On October 6, 2017, Exotic's husband, Travis Maldonado, fatally shot himself in the head. The shooting occurred while the zoo was open. The Garvin County Sheriff's office ruled that the shooting was accidental. In Tiger King however, It was revealed by one of Joe Exotic's employees that Travis's death was no accident. Travis had commited suicide because he realized that his husband didn't actually care about him but was merely a pawn to the latter. Exotic wouldn't allow him to leave the compound and prevented Travis from coming to his senses sooner by brainwashing him with drugs. Suicide was the only way for Travis to escape from Joe's cruelty. After Travis death, Joe Exotic seemed tremendously heartbroken by the loss of his husband, but according to most of his employee's he was mostly indifferent to Travis's fate to the point that Travis's fate meant nothing to him once Joe remarried another man decades his senior. Showing that Joe's husbands were of little value to him and deemed them replaceable.
