Shortly after it became known that Joe Exotic (59) will be divorced from her husband, the imprisoned TV celebrity tells about a new engagement.
–
In late March, the celebrity site could TMZ state that Joe Exotic had filed for divorce from Dillon Passage (24) after four years of marriage. The two had then been separated for almost a year.
Now the same website can inform that Joseph Maldonado-Passage – as he is actually called – have become engaged.
It appears from a handwritten letter Joe Exotic has written to his lawyer Autumn Blackledge from the Texas prison. There, the Netflix celebrity writes that his new fiancé is named John Graham. The age of the girlfriend is not known.
In the letter, Joe Exotic writes that he wants the lawyer to publish the content of the letter and that TMZ in particular will pass it on. In the letter, which TMZ reproduces as a wholeJoe Exotic reaches out to his ex-husband and says that he and his managers are “blackmailing” and serving “bullshit” in the divorce negotiations.
TMZ also has a picture of Graham, who himself has not commented on the alleged engagement.
The couple is said to have met behind the walls last year and already in August one of them is said to have been at peace. Graham has been released since then, but according to Joe Exotic, they talk three times a day and exchange “non-stop” emails.
–Joe Exotic has been imprisoned in Fort Worth, Texas since joining in January 2020 sentenced to 22 years behind bars for trying to get a hitman to take the life of arch-rival and animal rights activist Carole Baskin (60).
He compares his new love story with the one made in the film series “Twilight” and says that he has kept one of Graham’s jerseys, so he can smell it on the cell.
The Mirror writes that Graham in 2012 was convicted of burglary and possession of a weapon.
Married five times before
If they marry, it will be Joe Exotic’s sixth marriage. He and his ex-husband Passage were married on December 11, 2017, two months after Joe Exotic’s ex-husband, Travis Maldonado, took his own life, aged 23.
The relationship with Maldonado is solidly unfolded in The Netflix hit “Tiger King” from 2020. The same is the strife between Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin – and which was continued in season two in November last year. Watch clips from the sequel on VGTV:
Ever since the verdict, Joe Exotic has denied guilt and fought for his release. Among other things, he has applied to both President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden for pardon – without success.
The 59-year-old has also stated that he has got cancer after he was caged inside and that he wants to be released to choose for himself what treatment he should receive.
Passage has not commented on the letter publicly. According to TMZ, Passage has also got a new girlfriend and moved in with him.
