AceShowbiz - "Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem And Madness" star Joe Exotic's husband Dillon Passage is upset after learning of his conditions behind bars. The 22-year-old has responded after the incarcerated zookeeper detailed the poor treatment that he receives in jail in a letter.
Showing that he still cares for Joe, Dillon wrote on Instagram on Monday, June 9 along with a picture of him snuggling up to his dog. "My heart is breaking after reading Joe's letter. He is living in hell right now and I'm outraged by the way he is being treated," he wrote in the caption. "I can't even begin to imagine how that is breaking his spirit. I love Joe and I'm standing by him."
Dillon went on noting that despite the photos uploaded on his social media account that show "a highlight reel of my life," people don't see "the hours that I'm alone at home, missing my husband and my friend."
He additionally claimed, "I've been writing letters and it is a shame to hear that he isn't receiving them... I know they limit the amount he can read in a week and I only hope they eventually get to him. Joe, I hope that this reaches you too. Know that I love you and I'm fighting for you everyday. #freejoeexotic."
In the letter obtained by TMZ, Joe desperately asked for President Donald Trump, Kim Kardashian and Cardi B's immediate help to get him out of prison. "My soul is dead," he wrote, as he claimed, "I struggle every day to hold on to what little hope I can find."
Joe, who was born with CVID (common variable immune deficiency), revealed he doesn't get the proper treatment for his health condition. "[I] required blood infusions every 4 weeks. I have not had one since end of January, I'm losing weight, sores won't heal," he shared, before predicting his gloomy future, "I'll be dead in 2-3 months."
The 57-year-old also stated that he has been tormented by people sending him info about his husband Dillon living it up on the outs and partying without him. He claimed that Dillon has gone radio silent on him as well.
Joe later brought up a race issue in the letter, suggesting he'd be treated better if he were a different color. Weighing on the Black Lives Matter movement, he said that George Floyd's message got lost with the riots. He then ended the letter with a reference to Michael Jackson's song "Will You Be There", asking his husband whether he will be there "Or not? My heart must know!"
