JOE Exotic was caught begging Gypsy Rose Blanchard to help free him from prison in the latest of a string of bizarre comments.
The Tiger King has made it a strange habit of coming to celebrities’ selfies on social media and leaving a comment asking for help to get him out of prison.
Exotic, real name Joseph Maldonado-Passage, is serving a 21-year sentence after being convicted of conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire in a plot to kill his rival Carole Baskin.
He left a comment on Gypsy Rose Blanchard‘s most recent selfie on Instagram.
“Help #FreeJoeExotic,” read the comment, which had more than 100 replies from people who were wondering why Exotic left the comment in the first place.
Gypsy Rose herself was recently released from prison after serving eight years out of her 10-year sentence for her involvement in her mother’s murder.
She isn’t the first celebrity that Exotic has asked for help from as he was left leaving a similar comment on Kourtney Kardashian‘s post.
Kourtney shared a photo last week of her holding her infant son, Rocky, whom she shares with husband Travis Barker.
“Awwww cute, also please have your sister help me get out of this hell hole,” Exotic wrote, referring to Kim Kardashian‘s lobbying for prison reform and clemency advocacy.
Exotic also reached out to Elon Musk, begging the CEO to call President Joe Biden and “get me out of this s**t hole.”
He also volunteered to be part of Musk’s Neuralink brain chip implant trial.
“Anything to get out, huh,” read one comment under Exotic’s post calling out Musk.
“This is wild!” wrote another person.
Exotic shared his thanks to Cardi B‘s fans for donating to his legal fund for his appeal “to prove that I am innocent,” which ended up raising $5,137.
In the post, Exotic also asked other celebrities to get their fans to donate to him.
“Hey @JustinBieber and @KimKardashian if your fans would help out with just $1.00 we could expose the corruption as to why the Federal Justice System is putting so many people in prison,” the post read.
CAT’S OUT OF THE BAG
Despite his prison sentence, Exotic announced last year that he would be running for president.
“Yes, I know I am in Federal Prison and you might think this is a joke but it’s not,” he said in a statement on his website, joeexotic2024.com.
“It is my Constitutional right to do this even from here.”
Baskin told The U.S. Sun: “I think he will keep talking as long as you give him a megaphone.”
Exotic was found guilty of trying to have Baskin killed in 2019 after prosecutors allege he gave someone $3,000 to carry out the deed.
He was also indicted on an additional 19 counts of wildlife charges, as prosecutors say he shot and killed five tigers in 2017.
“The only thing I did was put five very old, crippled tigers to sleep in the most humane way possible and it was approved by my USDA Inspector, so it’s time to get over it,” Exotic said in his presidential bid.
Exotic is scheduled to remain in prison until September 2037 unless an appeal is granted.
