The family of Carole Baskin's missing husband is taking her to court.
During a commercial break in thepremiere last week, a spot aired in local Florida markets that brought up allegations regarding the 1997 disappearance of Baskin's second husband., Phillips explained the rationale behind the ad and why Lewis' family made the commercial, which includes the family announcing a $100,000 reward for information, and encouraging viewers to call their tip line.
"Carole Baskin goes on YouTube, Facebook and does blogs every single day getting out her narrative. It's landed her on a major TV show,. She was the featured person in all the commercials and last to dance," Phillips said."All the messaging about Carole and her fame comes at their peril. There was-- and it focused on the exotic animal industry -- but a lot of it was about the death and disappearance of Don Lewis.
, Carole has done daily diary entries and was going to use this show as a springboard to her message. So [Lewis' family] wanted their message out there. They wanted, at least locally, to counter message Carole Baskin's, in their mind, lies and fraud."Dancing with the Stars producers, you think it's funny to say 'she killed it' and to use part of that TikTok rhyme that is derogatory to Carole in in the judging, but let's stop and realize that there is an actual death involved here and be serious and maybe somebody will come forward," he expressed."If not, at least people today will be talking about Don Lewis and not just Carole Baskin."reacted to the family airing the ad"I have not seen the ad.
