The self-proclaimed "Tiger King" Joe Exotic is apparently about to be pardoned by Donald Trump.
His team is certain that Joseph Maldonado-Passage (57), better known by his pseudonym Joe Exotic, is about to receive a pardon from the outgoing US President Donald Trump (74). The self-proclaimed "Tiger King" is currently serving a 22-year prison sentence for an alleged murder assignment.
As a supporter of the "Tiger King" reports to the US celebrity portal "TMZ", he and his team have already had several discussions with Trump's staff in Washington D.C. regarding a pardon. Accordingly, Maldonado Passages chances are not bad and one is "in good spirits", so Love. In fact, there is even a stretch limousine ready at any time to pick up Joe Exotic after an early release.
"Be my hero please"
Joe Exotic asked Donald Trump for a pardon in early September with a handwritten letter. His main argument: Before all the fame, he was just a "gay, gun-bearing redneck in Oklahoma" who did not get a "fair trial".
"Allow me to make you proud, to make America proud, to make the world proud. Please be my hero," the letter also reads. Even before the letter, Trump had announced that he would "take a look at" the matter, which has now apparently actually happened.
His archenemy got his animal enclosure
The eight-part documentary "Tiger King" (German title: "Big cats and their predators"), broadcast for the first time in March 2020, is about Joe Exotic, who ran a private zoo with big cats in the USA, and his feud with the relentless animal activist Carole Baskin ( 59).
At the end of the first season, Baskin won: Joe Exotic was sentenced to 22 years in prison for the attempted murder of his rival. Baskin got her archenemy's animal enclosure assigned by a court order.
