After word of Britney Spears‘ connection to Doc Antle began to spread across Twitter, fans of the Netflix docuseries scoured the singer’s history to see if they could uncover any other Tiger King links. And one Twitter user @heidiwood_ delivered, writing: “can we talk about how carole baskin was sitting next to britney spears at the 2002 VMAs[?]” However, without official confirmation, it’s hard to conclusively say whether or not that’s truly Baskin by Spears’ side.
In fact, some fans aren’t convinced that the woman in the leopard print ensemble is actually the founder of Big Cat Rescue at all. “I don’t think that’s Carole, BUT that is 100% Doc Antle,” another user tweeted in response to the emerging theory. Many users have also raised doubts, because apparently the photo in question was taken at the VMAs the year after Spears performed alongside Antle. “That’s not Carole,” someone else said. “And that’s not even the same year Britney did the snake/lion performance. This pic was taken in 2002.”
Does this discrepancy make the theory null and void — or might there be an even more mysterious connection between Spears and these Tiger King subjects? Well, if anyone can dig up the dirt on this developing story, it’s Twitter!
