Not even Carole Baskin can stop the arrival of Netflix's Tiger King 2
A Tampa judge denied her request for a restraining order hours after filing it
Two weeks away from the arrival of Netflix’s follow-up to the Tiger King, Big Cat Rescue CEO Carole Baskin and her husband Howard Baskin have been denied their request for a temporary restraining order due to the use of “unauthorized” footage in Tiger King 2.
The Baskins filed the complaint on Monday, and it only took a few hours for the judge to dismiss the case against Netflix and series directors Rebecca Chaiklin and Eric Goode of Royal Good Productions.
“While the Court understands the Baskins’ frustration, it does not appear that inclusion of Defendants’ footage of the Baskins will cause any immediate harm that cannot be compensated with monetary damages,” said Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on Monday.
“Importantly, the Court merely finds that the Baskins are not entitled to the extraordinary remedy of a temporary restraining order, which would be entered before Defendants have had an adequate opportunity to respond,” the judge continued.
