Carole Baskin Comments On The Don Lewis Commercial That Aired During ‘Dancing With The Stars’
The first ‘Dancing with the Stars’ appearance for ‘Tiger King’ star Carole Baskin featured an advert pleading for information about her late husband, Don Lewis, and now she’s finally sharing her thoughts.
Gossip news site TMZ caught Carole as she was leaving rehearsals and asked her about the commercial and whether or not she hoped it would help find Don Lewis. She said that she is 100% for it. “It would be wonderful if the Don mystery was solved.” Carole also added that is would be a “side benefit.”
The ad asked for any tips surrounding the disappearance of Don in 1997 including whether or not “Carole Baskin was involved.” You can check out the commercial below.
Baskin has denied any involvement in the disappearance of her former husband Don Lewis and continues to stand by her innocence. The Big Cat Rescue owner in the past has expressed unhappiness with her portrayal in the Tiger King docuseries, posting a 3,000-word essay titled “Refuting Netflix Tiger King” on her website which you can see here.
