'It’s something that you shouldn’t dismiss,” said Saffery, who appears in the Netflix series as a tiger attack victim at Joe Exotic’s zoo.
"It’s something that you shouldn’t dismiss,” said Saffery, who appears in the Netflix series as a tiger attack victim at Joe Exotic’s zoo.documentary “Tiger King,” Kelci “Saff” Saffery has also found himself in another spotlight - a row over gender pronouns.
Saffery, 34, said he didn’t mind being called “she” in the series but the anger this misuse of pronouns had provoked online towards had been an eye-opener for him. Saffery said, however, he did not identify as transgender as he had not had any gender reassignment surgery or taken cross-sex hormones, but he lived as a man and used the pronoun he.
The documentary sparked a list of controversies as it followed the life of the now-imprisoned Joseph Maldonado-Passage, aka Joe Exotic, a gay, polygamous exotic animal owner, along with past and present employees. Saffery blamed himself for the accident in 2013 and was back at work a week later with his arm amputated below the elbow, a decision he insists was his and not due to pressure from Exotic.
