Joe Exotic says his life has been hell since Netflix set him free in the world … and he’s going to the scorched earth Donald Trump, Carole Baskin, PETA, the feds and more !!!
Joe, through his lawyer John M. Phillips from Phillips & Hunt, tells TMZ … “It’s been a year of hell” since March 20, 2020, when Netflix premiered ‘Tiger King’ … and he’s not talking about the pandemic.
Exotic complaints to the people for whom he opened his zoo and home – “when his own families did not help them” – turned his back on him as he rotted in prison. Joe doesn’t name names, but says that some of his former employees want to “just save money and talk shit to appear on TV” … and he’s upset that they’re supposed to be using his name “to profit from the hell I’m living in. “
Joe is still pleading innocence too … he complains about the prosecutors and witnesses who helped put him behind bars under oath. Exotic is confident that “the truth will come … hell or high seas, they will all respond to perjury at some point.”

Trump and Don Jr. are also contributing to Joe’s hell, and it looks like he’s still upset about his failed attempt in a presidential pardon. Exotic says the Trumps “used me for advertising and then left me here”.
As we said first, Joe’s not giving up hope with POTUS’s forgiveness, and now he’s lobbying the Biden administration.
Joe tells us that he has “more faith in President biden and VP Harris do the right thing, not just for me, but for the thousands who serve long sentences for nonviolent crimes, like conspiracy. “
The way Joe sees it … “I am a political prisoner in America for an animal rights agenda” and he is attacking PETA for allegedly enforcing the Endangered Species Act on Jeff Lowe and its old zoo.
Conclusion for Joe … it all goes back to “Carole Baskin taking my zoo and shutting me down.”
