Joe Exotic can’t catch a break. Now he’s about to find out what it’s like getting served with divorce papers while in prison.
The Tiger King star’s husband Dillon Passage is leaving him. In a very revealing Instagram message, Passage made it very clear that he and Joe Exotic are getting a divorce.
Passage also spoke briefly about how his world was turned upside down due to the Netflix Tiger King docuseries. It wasn’t an easy decision, but both Exotic and Passage “understand that this situation isn’t fair” for either of them.
In November of 2017 I met Joe who was there for me during a difficult time in my life. After just 9 short months he was arrested and, for the last two and a half years, we have been apart. I’ve always stood by his side and will continue to always love and support him.
When Tiger King was released on Netflix a year ago, my life was thrown into a world of media and public attention. Something that was completely foreign to me. I felt as if I had a microscope constantly looming over me which was and still is incredibly uncomfortable. With everyone pulling me in different directions, I found my manager @jefftduncan who, despite Joe’s recent social media tirades against, has always acted in my best interest and helped me navigate the complexity of the new situation I found myself in.
I don’t feel obligated to explain to the world what occurs in my personal life and, despite Joe taking to social media to air every grievance, I don’t feel it’s the healthiest way to handle private matters between two people. I therefore don’t intend to post any more on this subject.
To answer the main question the public wants to know, yes, Joe and I are seeking a divorce. This wasn’t an easy decision to make but Joe and I both understand that this situation isn’t fair to either of us. It’s something that neither of us were expecting but we are going to take it day by day. We are on good terms still and I hope it can stay that way. I will continue to have Joe in my life and do my best to support him while he undergoes further legal battles to better his situation.
Like I said in my last post, be careful of the assumptions you place on others. Everyone carries a challenge or burden you may not see. This is as true for me as it may be for you.
Joe Exotic is still incarcerated and he was unable to snag that Trump pardon that he was banking on. Now he will have to wait things out until 2037 when he is set to be released.
