I think it’s been almost three years since Joe Exotic burst onto our screens at the start of the pandemic in the hit Netflix show ‘Tiger King’ but a lot of us probably don’t realise that he’s still been sitting in prison for all that time.

Joe has a new plan to get out though inspired by basketball player Brittany Griner’s recent release from a Russian prison in a prisoner swap deal. He’s arguing that if she can be swapped for a deadly weapons dealer, then the least that President Joe Biden can do is offer him a pardon.

Here’s what he had to say about it:

A dangerous man was released for Brittney Griner to be free.

The whole Brittney Griner and Trevor Reed prisoner swap is a slap in every American’s face that is wrongfully detained in the American Federal Prison, including myself.

It’s time Joe Exotic gets to go home for Christmas to be home with [boyfriend] Seth and his son for the first time in five Christmases.

Carol Baskin got her Big Cat Safety Act passed, now called the ‘Tiger King’ bill.

Your tiger law has passed. I’m never owning animals again, this is all this was about.

The evidence that I’m innocent is there.

Let me have my life back. You know this is wrong. Show America you stand for truth and justice before Christmas.

Please allow me to go home.

Wow. There’s a lot going on there and I suppose you have to admire Joe Exotic for sticking with the story that he’s innocent when he quite clearly 100% isn’t as when you watch ‘Tiger King’ as it’s 100% obvious that he hired that guy to kill Carole Baskin.

I’ve also not been paying attention to his story enough because I have no idea who Seth is. I remember that he broke up with Dylan – his boyfriend in ‘Tiger King’ – but had no clue that he had managed to pick up another one whilst he was inside. I suppose I shouldn’t be that surprised though. This is Joe Exotic we’re talking about.

Anyway, I full expect Biden to full on ignore him just like his predecessor Donald Trump did. Can’t ever see Joe Exotic getting out of the slammer to be honest, but fair play to him for giving it a shot.
