'Tiger King' Joe Exotic Slams Prison Officials For 'Perjury And Entrapment'

Joe Exotic is leveling heavy accusations against the prison authorities amid a parasitic outbreak. The Netflix star is now claiming he is being held in Federal Medical Center Fort Worth unfairly as he also allegedly battles scabies infestation.

Joe Exotic, who is currently diagnosed with prostate cancer, was resentenced to serve a 21-year jail term in 2022.

The 61-year-old is seizing the moment amid his cry for more medical assistance in the treatment of scabies in his prison facility and also to reiterate his innocence in the murder-to-hire charge.

The entertainer took to his Instagram to express his thoughts alongside a copied picture from TMZ's page, which read:

"I deserve to go home. No one should live in these conditions especially being innocent. They all admitted to perjury and entrapment. Why am I still in here? Go look at their confessions on JoeExotic Official.com."

The animal rescuer's past soon received attention from some of his followers and fans. "You literally told a person you would pay them to kill for you. Sorry dawg," this Instagram user wrote in the comments.

Another fan extended his well wishes to the TV personality as he described the prison's act as "inhumane and cruel."

"I'm sorry Joe, that's ridiculous. No one, not even criminals, should have to live like that. Especially you," wrote another supporter of the Netflix superstar. 

Another very curious fan in the comments simply asked if the claim of the star regaining his freedom after accepting a plea deal was true.

Joe's recent outburst is not far-fetched. The Blast revealed the star disclosed that the FMC Fort Worth premises are currently infested with scabies. The entertainer shared that he and 139 others have been confirmed to have contracted the skin infestation caused by a human itch mite.

He also claimed that medical supplies to curb the spread of the disease are in limited supply as he and about 300 other inmates are currently in quarantine.

Joe blamed the government for neglecting the medical state of the holding center as he stated that an inmate had been infected for more than seven months and was left to continue sharing space with the rest of the prisoners.

He noted that rats have also gained access to the facility and the inmates are complaining about the animals feasting on their beds as soon as the sun goes down.

Joe’s time as a Netflix star did more harm than good to his life and contributed to his current reality behind bars.

According to the star, the documentary, which painted him as bearing a dangerous intent towards his rival Carol Baskin, tainted his career and negatively affected his journey.

He accused the producers of editing various clips that were not even meant for the show to spin a false narrative in order to attract more audience and enrich their pockets.

The star also admitted his regret for ever owning a zoo and meeting certain people like Jeff Lowe who he described as a corrupt person.

Last year, The Blast shared that the "Tiger King" star's medical team believed his prostate cancer had found its way to his bladder.

Despite the new development, Joe has reportedly refused treatment and even signed a do-not-resuscitate order, stating, "I want to stay here and just let it take its course."

Like he is doing now, the star emphasized his innocence back then and stressed that he would never stop clamoring for his freedom.

"The world has to know just how corrupt our justice system is … If I have to be the one to die innocent here fighting for the truth, maybe people around the world will finally speak up for the truth for once," Joe wrote in his letter to news outlets last year

Joe Exotic is very passionate about walking out of the prison yard a free man. Will this new turn of events shine the light on his cause?
