Exclusive interview with Joe Exotic


March 10



Joe Exotic is in prison; but there is an file of the paperwork of an ongoing investigation he was set up and convicted on faulty and corrupt evidence. This file is currently heading towards the FBI and Justice department so the whole case, the statements and the verdict can be examined and, hopefully, justice will prevail. He talks to Ed Opperman from prison, and obviously call time is limited so we packed a lot into the allotted time.UpdateFor someone sentenced to 21 years behind bars, Joseph Maldonado, better known as Joe Exotic, sure manages to stay connected with the public. Between his updates on Instagram and his official website, JoeExoticOfficial.com, fans can keep up with what’s happening in his life. In February 2025, he called upon President Donald Trump — not for a full pardon (though he’d likely accept one) — but for "a commutation of [his] sentence to time served with no probation," to continue with his charity work.In October 2024, Joe also revealed that he had filed a marriage application with fellow inmate Jorge Marquez Flores, 33, whom he met while incarcerated at Federal Medical Center Fort Worth. However, Joe shared some heartbreaking news on March 3, 2025, saying his husband had been deported. "They took him away from me today to deport him 2 days before my birthday," Joe wrote on Instagram
