“Tiger King” star Joe Exotic wants to get out of the slammer now and he’s going to great lengths to make sure that happens!
The infamous TV has resorted to seeking help from unexpected sources in his quest for freedom. In an interesting move, Exotic took to Instagram and left a comment on Kourtney Kardashian’s baby post, pleading for her sister Kim Kardashian’s assistance in getting him out of his “hell hole” prison.
Exotic’s comment on Kourtney Kardashian’s Instagram post, featuring her and her newborn son, Rocky, caught the attention of many. In his plea, he wrote, “Awwww cute, also please have your sister help me get out of this hell hole.” Despite receiving over 7,200 “likes” and numerous responses, there was no indication that either Kardashian had acknowledged his request.

The Conviction and Imprisonment:
As we previously reported, Joseph Maldonado, better known as Joe Exotic, was sentenced to 22 years in prison in January 2020. His conviction stemmed from a murder-for-hire plot against a rival and the unlawful killing of five tigers. Additionally, Exotic was found guilty of selling tiger cubs. However, a federal appeals court later ruled that improper sentencing guidelines were used, resulting in one year being removed from his sentence.
Previous Attempts for Help:
This is not the first time Exotic has sought Kim Kardashian’s assistance. In December 2020, he wrote a letter to Kim, appealing for her help in securing a pardon from then-President Donald Trump. In the letter, Exotic acknowledged that they had never met but believed that Kim held the values of the justice system dear to her heart. He implored her to take just 10 minutes out of her life to call President Trump and request a review of his 257-page pardon. Unfortunately for Exotic, his efforts seemed to go unnoticed or were simply ignored.
While serving his sentence, Exotic faced additional challenges. In February 2023, he wrote a letter stating that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. He expressed his fear that the aggressive disease had spread to his bladder, adding another layer of urgency to his plea for freedom.
Despite his eccentric appearance and controversial past, Exotic’s desperation is evident. Whether his plea will be answered remains uncertain, but his persistence in seeking assistance from high-profile figures like Kim Kardashian demonstrates his unwavering hope for a second chance. As the world watches, the fate of the “Tiger King” continues to unfold.
