Of all the weird and wonderful moments from the series, the revelation of Joe Exotic reading verbatim from Carole Baskin's diary was truly astonishing. While it was unclear as to how exactly Joe would get his hands on such personal information, there was no discussion that the information was anything but the truth.

The topic of how on Earth Joe got his hands on this information is one question that should be easily answered in a potential second season, because the answer has (kind of) been revealed. In a a Robert Moor article in New York Magazine from September 2019, it is explained that a disgruntled employee of Baskin stole the information and gave it to Joe.

While it is not stipulated in the article who the person was, it would surely be a great angle for future seasons to explore. Having an interview with a disgruntled employee of Baskin would be gripping stuff, especially in regards why they became disgruntled in the first place.

The fact that the employee was not named also lends some credit to the idea that it was possible Joe who either burgled, or organised to burgle Carole Baskin's property. Footage within the series displayed Joe making a 'stealth operation' inside Baskin's Zoo, so it wouldn't be too hard to imagine Joe pulling off such a stunt.
