Jeff Lowe has accused his former business partner Joe Exotic of keeping homemade porn tapes, whips, chains and animal-shaped sex toys in his attic.

Tiger King star Exotic is currently in prison for charges including animal cruelty and a murder plot, while Lowe now fully owns the zoo that featured heavily in the hit Netflix series.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Lowe recalled exploring Exotic's attic and finding a surprising stash of sexual material.

"As soon as I pulled the stairs down... it was like packages, packages and packages of these whips and chains and bondage devices," he said.

"We also found pictures of stuffed animals where the mouths and ends of the animals had holes cut out in them where they would use them as their own sex toy."

Lowe is one of the participants in Netflix's follow-up special, The Tiger King and I, which will be released tomorrow.
