    Joe Exotic says the lump in his chest is growing, says he’ll refuse cancer treatment

    The star of Netflix Tiger King, Joe Exotic has said that he’ll refuse cancer treatment in prison if tests show that he has breast cancer.

    Taking to social media, Joe Exotic said that the lump in his breast had been growing so fast, but he had not been able to get any test done for over 7 months.

    The former big cat owner said that he had been waiting 7 months for tests to see if he had cancer. The tumour in his left breast has apparently been growing. He also said that he was waiting for tests for his bladder as well.

    Dealing with the pain

    The star also said that he was dealing with the pain, because he’d refuse treatment if it turns out that he has cancer. He wrote, “I’m going to refuse treatment anyways if it’s cancer, not going to puke another year just to die in prison anyways”

    He then went on to slam both Presidents Trump and Biden for not caring about the truth.

    He shared a bird’s eye view of his cramped cell and what looks to be a half-eaten tray of prison food.

    Cruel treatment

    According to his Twitter account, Exotic has been in solitary since June 23rd and is having to use a rag to brush his teeth. The person who wrote the tweet slammed the prison service saying, “Why are there no mother fuckers in charge of making sure solitary confinement for federal prisons is regulated and being operated to highest best minimum standards?”

    There was a point where Tiger King star Joe Exotic was running for the presidency in the US… Now people have been wondering what that might have looked like if he had actually won.

    In 2016 Joe ran a presidential campaign as an independent candidate in Colorado and received 962 votes.

    So taking to his official Twitter account, his husband, Dillon asked Joe’s fans, what they thought Joe’s first act as president would have been… the answers were hilarious.

    Unsurprisingly there’s was running theme in the imaginings of his fans and many of the responses centred around one person.

    Carole Baskin’s name was brought up quite a lot in the thread of ideas of a Joe Exotic presidency would have looked like.

    During the Netflix documentary series, Tiger King, the feud between Carole Baskin and Joe Exotic was a central theme and Joe’s dislike for the big-cat rights activist was pretty intense.

    However, people did have other suggestions for a Joe Exotic presidency, one person suggested that the White House lawns could be turned in an animal enclosure, while another suggested that the “USA would never financially recover from it”.

    People are selling Joe Exotic clothes, and he’s not happy

    Tiger King star Joe Exotic is apparently looking into legal actions after he reported that some eBay dealers say they are selling his clothes.

    Joe Exotic (or someone who is controlling his Twitter account) has blasted sellers on bidding sites, like eBay, for apparently selling clothes that belong to the Tiger King star.

    He warned, “Buyers beware, my clothing are turning up for sale on-site such as eBay etc”,

    But the controversial and outspoken star, who is currently serving a prison sentence, warned that he has not authorised the sale of any clothes adding that anything that is for sale with his name attached is fake.

    He also told fans that his lawyer was already in the process of taking legal action against anyone selling clothes purportedly belonging to the former Zookeeper and Governor candidate.

    In fact, Joe’s most outrageous clothes are being looked after by his husband, Dillion Passage.

    Photos on Joe’s twitter account showed bundles of brightly coloured clothing with the warning, “these pictures are some of my clothes that are with my husband and nothing is for sale at this time”.

  • The mullet is on its way back in thanks to lockdown and Joe Exotic

    The mullet is on its way back in thanks to lockdown and Joe Exotic

    Due to the coronavirus lockdown, Netflix has seen an unprecedented surge in streaming activity and the documentary series Tiger King, starring Joe Exotic has been the undeniable breakout hit of quarantine.

    The lockdown has also meant that it’s near impossible to get a haircut, which is why, the mullet, like the one that Joe sports, could be seeing a resurgence, according to one hair brand, Fudge Urban.

    According to the brand, history could be repeating itself as many guys will be forced to cut their own hair or get their partners or housemates to get the scissors out.

    A statement from the brand said,

    “Having previously been one of the most iconic men’s hairstyles back in the 80s, the mullet’s short on the top and long at the back style has had its fair share of jokes.

    “The fresh and modern mullet means you don’t need a head full of long hair. With its new even shorter length at the top, this modern-day spin on this vintage style is stylish and sharp. As seen on the runway by Gucci and YSL, it’s high fashion with many celebrities sporting the new look”.

    So how do you feel about growing a mullet? We’re not so sure.
