  • Tiger King star John Finlay and his new teeth will appear on the new reunion episode.

  • He also said that the Netflix producers had "video and pictures of this, but chose not to show it."

  • John revealed new teeth and told TMZ that he his former dental issues were due to genetic problems.


Breaking news for Tiger King fans: John Finlay, the almost-always-shirtless husband of Joe Exotic, has a new set of teeth. Fans will get to see his new chompers in the surprise Tiger King after-show episode, "Tiger King and I" on Netflix April 12.

John will join John Reinke, Joshua Dial, Saff, Erik Cowie, Rick Kirkman, and Jeff and Lauren Lowe in the new Tiger King ep. There will be brand-new interviews with each one of the controversial characters. That's not all, "The Tiger King and I" will be a reunion-style episode hosted by Joel McHale.

"The colorful cast of characters will have a chance to tell their story directly, giving us inside info, opinions, and insight into the controversial, captivating series that has become a global sensation," according to a statement from Netflix.

ICYMI: John appears in the original seven-episode Tiger King alongside his now-ex husband, Joe Exotic, a zookeeper who is now serving 22 years in prison on a murder-for-hire charge. While John has a supporting role in the docuseries, plenty of viewers have taken note of the fact that he didn’t have all of his teeth while filming.

John seems kinda pissed that his teeth have been such a topic of conversation and went after Netflix in a Facebook post on what appears to be a self-created fan page "The Truth About John Finlay" about how he (and his teeth) were portrayed in the true crime documentary.

"Yes I have my teeth fixed," he wrote, alongside a photo of himself with perfect-looking teeth. "The producers of the Netflix series had video and pictures of this, but chose not to show it."

John said he started his Facebook page to try to change the narrative about how his polygamist marriage to Joe and Travis Maldonado was portrayed.

John also told TMZ that his former dental issues were due to genetic problems, not meth, which he talked about using in the docuseries. John insisted to TMZ that he’s been clean for six years, but he says his teeth weren't exactly perfect before that.

As for what else John is up to these days, he’s working as a welder and living in central Oklahoma with his fiancée, Stormey. Btw, John told TMZ he does wear shirts—producers just asked him to go shirtless during interviews, and he went with it.
