Tiger King Joe Exotic Upset Over Chrisley Pardon
It didn’t take long for Tiger King star Joe Exotic, whose real name is Joseph Maldonado-Passage to share his thoughts about President Trump giving the Chrisleys a full pardon. Todd and Julie Chrisley have been serving prison terms for tax evasion, bank and wire fraud, and conspiracy in 2019.
Combined, they were serving 19 years in prison. Julie received 7 years while Todd would do 12. Their daughter, Savannah, has been fighting for their release since they were convicted and reported to serve their prison terms in 2023. Now, she’s ecstatic that President Trump has seen the truth and is giving her parents a full pardon.
As for Joe Exotic, he is serving a prison term of 21 years after being found guilty of a murder-for-hire plot against Carole Baskin. Those who watched the series on Netflix know the Tiger King did not like her at all.
Since being put in prison, Joe continues fighting for his release. He has been begging the White House to give him a pardon, saying he’s innocent of the crime. He’s been ignored. Now, he’s ranting about the Chrisleys’ pardon.
He went to social media to say,
“I have never been more disappointed in my life that President Trump is pardoning all of these people that have actually committed crimes and yet the President leaves me in here as an innocent man.”
Joe Exotic continued his rant, saying, “I guess being innocent is not enough in America.” He says that he’s been “left to die” with cancer in prison before he can get any help.
His Partner Deported From United States
Tiger King Joe Exotic married a fellow inmate, Jorge Marquez Flores, in October 2024. He revealed in early March that his husband was being deported just two days before his birthday. Flores had been serving time in prison for being in the United States illegally. According to Joe, he has no other crimes attached to his name.
Flores was deported back to Mexico. He admits to bawling his eyes out when Jorge was taken away. Their goodbye to one another was reportedly very emotional.
Joe Exotic has voiced that when he is finally granted a pardon, he wants to get a “gold card” that President Trump spoke of shortly after taking office.
The Tiger King says everyone in the world can see he’s an innocent man. He does not understand how the White House does not see it. He continues to beg President Trump to pardon him for his alleged crimes.
