For anyone out there having a normal day let’s just press the ‘pause’ button on that for a moment and check out some weird Tiger King news. Joe Exotic (real name Joseph Allen Maldonado-Passage) published the handwritten letter he recently sent to former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
In the letter, Joe Exotic begs Ben Roethlisberger for a favor but not before ranting about Carole Baskin, Congress, Freedom, Prison, and other things. The handwritten letter looks like it was written in pen which checks out since Joe Exotic is still in prison and wouldn’t be able to have access to pencils.
I’d be lying if I said I have been thinking of either Joe Exotic or Ben Roethlisberger at all lately. I never got around to watching Season 2 of Tiger King. But it’s pretty surreal to see the paths of these two public figures crossing online.
“With all the respect, Joe Exotic.”
That’s right, folks. Joe Exotic is begging Ben Roethlisberger for an autographed jersey and telling Big Ben that his stepson Johnny holds him on a ‘pretty big pedestal’.
