With his Oakley headgear, Affliction tees and a hot young wife that seems to cater to his every sexual whim, Jeff Lowe—who you undoubtedly remember from the wholly Oklahoma mythology of Tiger King lore—is one of the “coolest” dudes around, at least by Sooner standards. So who would want to poison him?
I mean, besides Joe Exotic, of course.
Recently, after drinking and gambling enjoying a nice dinner at Winstar World Casino in Thackerville, sometime around 3 a.m. Lowe keeled over, suffering from an apparent stroke. As a stroke victim myself, I can honestly say that, yes, you do fall over and drift into an unconscious state while your body begins to rebel against itself in an epic battle between life and death.
But, as a modern-day Oklahoma He-Man—something, I’m sadly not now nor ever will be— after spending three days in the hospital, Lowe is currently telling the press that a “strange man” must’ve poisoned his drink. From Consequence of Sound:
He’s currently recovering at his home after spending three days in the hospital, but Lauren says that he’s struggling with speech and coordination. The couple are still trying to piece together the events of the night, but their current suspicion is that the strange man at the restaurant spiked Jeff’s drink when they weren’t looking. Lauren told TMZ that Jeff’s urine tests came back negative for “commonly abused drugs”, so she believes that he might have used something “more exotic”.
By saying “more exotic,” do you think that she’s trying to slyly infer that Joe’s elite cabal of farmed-out guttersnipes tried to take out the similarly trashy Lowe? Only time will tell and, hopefully, a new miniseries on Netflix.
