The entire Chrisley family is jumping for joy right now over their recent phone call with Donald Trump. He decided to issue a full pardon to both Todd Chrisley and his wife, Julie Chrisley. Their combined 19-year prison sentence has been overturned, but Joe Exotic is sitting in his cell feeling absolutely livid.
Joe Exotic is “disappointed” President Trump is pardoning criminals Todd and Julie Chrisley
The Tiger King star is serving a 21-year prison sentence for conspiring to have Carole Baskin murdered. Just like the Chrisleys, he’s spent most of his time behind bars begging for a pardon. He thought his allegiance to Trump would help set him free, but now he’s feeling “disappointed” about things are unfolding.
“I have never been more disappointed in my life that President Trump is pardoning all of these people that have actually committed crimes, and yet the President leaves me in here as an innocent man,” Joe wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
We’re not exactly sure why Joe is allowed to have so much social media access while imprisoned, but he might also have Netflix in there, too. In a follow-up post, he said that Season 2 of Tiger King showed multiple witnesses “admitting to perjury.” With that in mind, he feels like he deserves to be free.
“I guess being innocent is not enough in America,” Joe noted.
We’re not here to say whether or not Joe is right, but it’s worth noting that his outburst comes after several weeks of bad news for the reality TV villain. He just married a man while in prison. According to TMZ, he was deported to Mexico right after his release. On top of that, Joe also shared that his prostate cancer returned, and he doesn’t plan on seeking treatment.
Meanwhile, the Chrisleys are celebrating their legal victory and eyeing a TV return with a newly announced Lifetime series. Joe can’t help but feel a little bitter, right?
Tiger King is streaming on Netflix.
