Remembering the time Joe Exotic gave us the scoop on his engagement…

Things continue to get worse for Joe Exotic.

Earlier this week, Dillon Passage – Joe Exotic's most recent husband – announced on social media that he is seeking a divorce from the country music croonin', meth usin', tiger abusin' man from Wynnewood. Here's his dreamy Instagram post about the news:

I don't know about you, but that seemed more like a "Hey guys, I'm single!" post than a divorce announcement. Either way, good for Dillon. When he married a polygamist tiger zoo owner whose previous husband accidentally killed himself only a few months earlier, the last thing he probably expected was for his new husband to be implicated in a murder-for-hire plot and for both of them to become international celebrities. That had to be an adjustment.

Here at The TLO Home Office, this announcement is a bit bittersweet.

Way back in December of 2017, when Joe Exotic was just a regional celebrity politician who owned a tiger zoo and not the most famous prisoner in the US penal system, he actually gave us the scoop on his engagement and marriage to Dylan. The story got a shit ton of traffic the week we posted it, and thanks to the Tiger King traffic gold rush from last spring, is now one of the 10 most viewed stories in TLO history.
