Joe Exotic just got punched in the stomach behind bars … her husband Dillon Passage he says wants to get out of the relationship and the divorce is now on the table.
The lawyer for the ‘Tiger King’ star, Francisco Hernandez, tells TMZ … Joe is upset after receiving a phone call from Dillon in prison saying he is planning to leave him.

Dillon says the separation was not an easy decision – but adds that he will continue to support Joe while he is in prison. He says they are still on good terms and expects it to continue … although it doesn’t sound like Joe agrees with that emotion.
As you know … Joe and Dillon tied themselves back on December 11, 2017, tying the knot 2 months after Joe’s previous husband, Travis Maldonado, shot himself in a fatal accident.
We learned that after the emotional phone call, Joe sent an email to a friend … saying that he felt abandoned and alone and just wanted to mean something to someone. From the way Joe explained it, Dillon is being alone with Joe in jail and wants a boyfriend.
We are told that Joe is undecided about whether to file for divorce – he has a lot to do just to try to gain his freedom – but of course, Dillon could pull the trigger first.
Stay tuned …
