Last spring, Joseph Allen Maldonado-Passage (58), better known as Joe Exotic, became known worldwide when he appeared in Netflix documentary “Tiger King”.
In the series, the audience could follow an eccentric 58-year-old in cowboy attire – who was both gay and polygamous. Exotic ran the controversial tiger farm where he exhibited wild cats at the disposal of paying audiences.

In retrospect, the tiger man has stated that he has put the feud with his longtime enemy behind him, and has also tried several times to be pardoned.
Now, however, it is reportedly a little extra lonely for the 58-year-old in prison.
– I was too gay
Her husband Dillon Passage (22), with whom Exotic has been married for over three years, wants a divorce.
It announces Passage in a post on its Instagram profile this week.
“In November 2017, I met Joe who was there for me through a difficult time in my life. After only nine short months, he was arrested, and for the last two and a half years, we have been separated “, the 22-year-old writes initially.
This distance between the couple, combined with the fact that Passage felt uncomfortable in the spotlight, eroded their relationship, he believes.
Was pardoned by Trump
He further points out that Exotic has occasionally shared personal posts about the couple on social media – something Passage should not have felt comfortable with.
“I do not feel obligated to explain to the world what is going on in my private life, despite the fact that Joe often uses social media to express his sorrows. I do not feel that this is the healthiest way to deal with private challenges between two people “, he writes further.
Finally, Passage confirms that he wants to separate from the “Tiger King” star.
– Difficult to get out of bed
‘Yes, Joe and I are taking out separation. This was not the easiest decision to make, but both Joe and I understand that this situation is not fair to any of us. It is something neither of us expected, but we will take one day at a time ».
