PETA Accuses Tonia Haddix of Violating Court Orders in 'Chimp Crazy' Docuseries

The animal rights group has filed a new motion citing evidence from the series, alleging perjury and contempt of court.

  • PETA's motion claims the HBO series 'Chimp Crazy' shows Tonia Haddix defying court orders regarding the custody of chimpanzees.
  • Haddix allegedly faked the death of a chimp named Tonka to prevent his transfer to a sanctuary, as ordered by the court.
  • The series depicts Haddix admitting to hiding Tonka and profiting from her actions, which PETA argues undermines the justice system.
  • Haddix and her alleged accomplices, including her husband and others, are accused of perjury and contempt for their roles in the scheme.
  • PETA is seeking sanctions and further investigation to hold those involved accountable for their actions.
