Tiger King’s Joe Exotic has questioned whether he is “too white” to help Kim Kardashian out of prison as he unleashed a furious rant at the reality star – and the jailed zookeeper also took aim at Justin Bieber for not use your platform for good. .
The former Netflix star, 61, is serving a 21-year sentence for conspiracy to commit murder for hire and is at risk of dying behind bars after doctors told him he could have lung cancer.
Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com from Santa Rosa County Jail in Florida, Exotic launched a tirade against Kim, 43, for not responding to his pleas for help in securing his freedom, insisting that he does not need the money from the businesswoman, but hers. voice.
At the same time, he praised Cardi B for showing her support and also targeted Kendall Jenner on Instagram in an attempt to reach out to Kim.
Joe Exotic, who is currently in the Santa Rosa County Jail in Florida, has questioned whether he is “too white” for Kim Kardashian to help him get out of prison.
The former zookeeper, 61, begged aspiring lawyer Kim, 43, to help him in his case, all to no avail.
“I have clearly called out Kim Kardashian,” he said. ‘Am I too white for her help? Because all I need is her voice. I don’t need her money.
‘I don’t need her to spend her entire life helping me do this. All I need is for you to pick up a phone, call the White House and say, “Look, I’m behind Joe’s movement. This is good. The system is broken.”
In 2020, Exotic begged Kim, 43, to “call President Donald Trump to apologize” in an open letter.
In February he also pleaded with Kourtney Kardashian to bring his case to Kim’s attention.
“Please make your sister help me out of this hell,” he wrote on Instagram.
In five days, her comment received more than 10,495 likes and hundreds of replies.
On Monday he used the same tactic, this time contacting Kendall Jenner on her Instagram account.
“Have your sister come closer, please,” he begged. ‘I want to show you the videos of all of them admitting to perjury. She helps those unjustly imprisoned, right?
In recent years, Kim has become a force in criminal justice and prison reform.
Exotic attempted to reach out to the reality star through his sister Kourtney on social media earlier this year (Kim and Kourtney pictured in 2018).
“Please make your sister help me out of this hell,” Exotic wrote to Kourtney.
In 2017, she fought for a clemency for Alice Johnson and first approached Ivanka Trump about the case before later meeting with former President Trump to campaign on Johnson’s behalf.
This move led to Trump pardoning Johnson for a non-violent drug trafficking offense and his release from prison in the summer of 2018.
Kim has since fought for others in similar situations, including Kevin Cooper and Julius Jones.
But it’s not just the Kardashians who left Exotic feeling frustrated. Turning his attention to Bieber, 30, he continued: ‘He has about 269 million followers.
‘Do you realize that’s four times the number of votes the president of the United States gets to govern the most powerful country in the world?
‘Why don’t people like Justin Bieber use their influence to help solve our problems?
“You don’t have to, you don’t have to run for office, all you have to do is be a voice and say, ‘Look, the American people can’t afford you anymore.’ “I’m going to have to vote all of you into office, or you’re going to have to straighten up.”
‘Who do we have to admire? WHO?’
Justin Bieber (pictured with wife Hailey) has also been criticized by Exotic for not using his “influence to help solve our problems.”
Exotic, however, praised rapper Cardi B for being “my voice on and off this whole time.”
Exotic noted that he received help from Cardi B, who created a GoFundMe page in his honor after his first arrest to pay for lawyers.
“She’s been my voice on and off this whole time,” he said.
“And you know, between Lil Wayne and Kodak Black and Kim Kardashian or anyone else, Cardi B is the only one you’ve seen on the Internet calling out the White House for funding two wars at the same time and not caring about the American situation.” people who can’t afford to eat.
“At least women have the guts to face the real problem in this country.”
In his interview with DailyMail.com, Exotic also confirmed that he has not heard from Machine Gun Kelly despite shooting the rapper in February when he insisted he could turn him gay with a tiger and meth.
“I gave Machine Gun Kelly a hard time when he got that new tattoo,” Exotic said. “That was a joke and it went viral. I felt sorry for him because everyone started picking on him, but I wrote an apology.
Exotic has been trying to obtain a pardon since 2020, when in May of that year his legal team attempted to obtain a presidential pardon from Trump. They were so sure this would happen that they even had a limo waiting outside their jail to pick him up.
However, in recent weeks, Exotic has changed tactics. Instead of being pardoned, he has filed a petition for clemency.
He said: ‘I’ll let them keep that stupid conviction if it means that much to them. “I would take some time served, get away from all this and move on.”
In addition to trying to get out of prison, Exotic is also campaigning in the 2024 election to become president of the United States.
Exotic, who rose to fame on Netflix’s Tiger King: Murder, Mystery, and Mayhem, is running as an “unaffiliated” candidate in this year’s presidential race.
When asked what he would do on his first day in the White House, Exotic said, “Everyone who has ever sought a pardon or pardon and has served more than five years of their sentence, I would release them.”
“It’s going very well,” Exotic said of his efforts. ‘You know, I had to change my political status to unaffiliated because the Democrats figured out how to get me off the ballot.
‘What we’re doing is using me as the “no” vote, the “we’re just sick and tired of voting for you” vote.
‘I don’t want people to just not vote. I want people to go vote and write in Joe Exotic and make a statement: We would rather have someone in prison who has his head on straight and has solutions for this country, than all of you corrupt people who continue to set this country back. .’
When asked what he would do on his first day in the White House, Exotic said, “Everyone who has ever sought a pardon or a pardon and has served more than five years of their sentence, I would release them.”
‘Then I would close half of the federal prisons in the United States, because they need to be demolished. We don’t need to refill them.’
He continued: “I would close the border and I have the best border policy there is.”
Exotic is currently being held in the Santa Rosa County Jail in Florida while awaiting court in a civil case.
Revealing how he spends his days behind bars in Florida, he said: “I can use a phone and do video visits… right now I’m watching three seasons of Chicago Med.”
When he’s not bashing celebrities online, vying for release from prison, or working on his presidential campaign, Exotic laughs and jokes with his fellow inmates or enjoys watching television, something he didn’t have the privilege of doing after the bars. in Texas.
He shared: ‘Here in this county jail, let me tell you, if I could get out, I would stay here until I came home.
“The food isn’t that good, but on Fridays they have something called ‘fresh favorites’ where people can order you a cheeseburger or a pizza from the outside world. I had my first cheeseburger in six years!”
‘And I can use a phone and do video visits. And then they have tablets, so now I’m watching three seasons of Chicago Med.
“Now, when I’m in prison in Fort Worth, Texas, I spend most of my time outside, at the track or playing horseshoes or bocce ball or something like that.”
At the time of writing, Exotic is locked up with 50 other inmates in his ‘pod’.
He continued: ‘Last night we stayed here until two in the morning, laughing and making jokes.
‘Everywhere I’ve been I’ve gotten along well with everyone. No one has ever given me a problem, and it’s not just because of who I am. It is because they know that I am also fighting for their rights.”
