Fresh star stories with a cool online feel.

Stark may have been a minor character during the first season of "Tiger King," but his life following the show hasn't been easy. His fall from grace has been so intense that he will play a major role in the second season of "Tiger King" (via Bustle).

Since we last saw Stark, he attempted to go into business with another star from the series, Jeff Lowe. If you recall, Lowe took over the zoo when Joe Exotic went to prison. That didn't work out because after the treatment his animals endured at his facility in Indiana, Stark was banned from ever owning or exhibiting exotic or native animals (via Distractify).

Now, Stark has been in and out of court. PETA filed a lawsuit against Stark and won. He was ordered to pay $734,000 to the animal rights organization. He was also charged with violating the Animal Welfare Act and his facility was charged $300,000. Stark was also fined $40,000 in civil penalties. It has not been easy to be Stark following "Tiger King."

Stark has since filed bankruptcy and took to Facebook Live where he was waving a gun around and talking about how he wasn't mentally well anymore following all of these events. He was taken into custody and his license to carry a handgun was suspended.
