Netflix's Tiger King has captivated the nation's attention, prompting OJ Simpson to weigh in on one of the show's most talked-about storylines.

On Wednesday, the former NFL star took to Twitter where he claimed there is "not a shred of doubt" in his mind that Carole Baskin killed her husband.

"I watched about six episodes of this show and I couldn't believe what I was looking at," Simpson said in the clip. "One thing I will say, there's not a shred of doubt in my mind that that lady's husband is tiger sashimi right now. I'm just saying."

Carole Baskin's husband, Don Lewis, went missing in August 1997. Joe "Joe Exotic" Maldonado-Passage is Baskin's arch-enemy and spearheads a movement that implicates Baskin in Lewis' disappearance. Tiger King touches on this incident and Exotic's multiple theories—including the possibility that Baskin fed her dead husband to her tigers. Baskin has since remarried and vigorously denies playing a part in her ex-husband's disappearance.

After the documentary's release, authorities in Hillsborough County, Florida, have decided to look into new leads in hopes of figuring out what happened to Don Lewis.
