Chimp Crazy Star Tonia Haddix! Monday, September 9th, 2024 | Sarah FraserDescription
In this episode of The Sarah Fraser Show, I interviewed Tonia Haddix, the star of HBO's documentary "Chimp Crazy." Tonia shared her perspective on the controversial documentary, discussing her deep bond with her chimpanzee, Tonka, and the ethical and legal challenges she faces as an exotic animal owner in Missouri. She revealed how she was misled by the documentary's director, Eric Goode, and his proxy, Dwayne Cunningham, which has led to significant personal and legal repercussions. Tonia also highlighted her background as a nurse and foster mom, emphasizing her caring nature and dedication to the animals. Despite the negative portrayal and threats from animal rights activists, Tonia remains committed to advocating for a more nuanced approach to exotic animal ownership.
