'Tiger King' star Joe Exotic has revealed an 'aggressive cancer' diagnosis
‘s Joe Exotic said he has “an aggressive cancer” in a note shared on his official Instagram account. The convicted felon posted a handwritten letter informing fans that a prostate biopsy revealed the diagnosis and pleaded that they advocate for his release.
Exotic is serving 22 years in prison for a murder-for-hire scheme involving hiring a hitman to kill rival Carole Baskin, and the conviction also included violations of the Lacey Act and the Endangered Species Act. Netflix’s true-crime documentarydetailed the years-long feud between Exotic — who owned an Oklahoma big cat zoo with seemingly nefarious practices — and Baskin, who owns Big Cat Rescue in Florida.
“What I need is the world to be my voice to be released,” Exotic wrote in the letter dated Oct. 27, which was posted on Wednesday. “They have the proof I did not do this and there is no reason for the U.S. Attorney to drag this out so I can go home and get treatment on my own or enjoy what life I have left with my loved ones.”
