Joe Exotic Won't Record Radio Show From Prison, For Now, Official Says

You all know how Tiger King: Murder, Madness & Mayhem has now gone on to become a massive sensation owing to airing on Netflix. And ever since is launch, everyone has been talked about it too.

There have been talks ever since about how there will apparently be a radio show from Joe right from the prison.

However, it has now been cleared that a radio show from the man won't be happening at least for now. Earlier in the week, the husband of Joseph Maldonado-Passage, aka Joe Exotic, the subject of the Netflix docuseries Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness, was quoted saying there were talks that an unnamed station wanted Maldonado-Passage to host a show from prison. 

"So we'll see what happens with that," Dillon Passage told the U.K.'s Metro tabloid paper. "It's kind of mind-blowing." 

However, a spokesman for the Federal Bureau of Prisons tells The Hollywood Reporter that authorities knew nothing of those plans, so there were no logistics to discuss. What's more, even interviews are not happening right now. 

"Due to safety and security reasons in the wake of the current pandemic, we are deferring coordinating and approving inmate interview requests out of an abundance of caution," the prisons spokesman says. 

For the moment, Joe Exotic has only given one interview from prison, where he is serving a 22-year sentence for his involvement in a murder-for-hire plot. 

He has asked President Donald Trump for a pardon. Trump told reporters he would "take a look" the matter.
