While it wasn't one of our must-watch quarantine binge-able shows, we have to admit Tiger King got us good. Like a reality show of the trashiest people on earth, plus TIGERS! However, the craziness continued even after the finale, with the show's star "Joe Exotic" writing from prison to beg everyone from Cardi B to Donald Trump himself to free him from his cell. Via TMZ:
TMZ's obtained a letter penned by the imprisoned 'Tiger King' star this week to his "Supporters, Fans, Loves Ones." He opens by saying the pandemic's over, so he's asking POTUS to grant him a miracle and free him ... but it's pretty bleak from there.Joe says, "My soul is dead" and he's struggling to keep hope in what he describes as some pretty miserable conditions behind bars. He also claims he's being tormented by people sending him info about his husband, Dillon Passage, living it up on the outs and partying without him. Joe also says Dillon's gone radio silent on him.On top of all this, Exotic claims he's not getting treatment and meds for his health conditions, and he makes a dark prediction -- "I'll be dead in 2-3 months."In the end, Exotic maintains his innocence ... and tosses a final Hail Mary to Cardi and Kim in hopes they'll catch it and help him out. The Cardi ship may have already sailed, though.
While we have a hard time feeling bad for a guy who abused animals for years, we can't help but wonder what "conditions" are like if he's giving himself 2-3 months to live!
