Tiger King star Joe Exotic announces engagement to fellow inmate from federal prison


Joe Exotic announced he's engaged to be married to fellow inmate Jorge Marquez while being in the the midst of a 21-year federal prison sentence.

Both men are not only optimistic the prison will approve their wedding application, they also still have 'high hopes' that Exotic's appeal of his entire case, including his conviction for hiring hitmen to kill animal activist Carole Baskin, will succeed. In 2019, Exotic was convicted and sentenced to 22 years in prison on 17 federal charges of animal abuse and two counts of attempted murder for hire for the plot to kill Big Cat Rescue founder Carole Baskin. He has been featured in several documentaries, including the hit Netflix series Tiger King (2020-2021), which showcased his career as a zookeeper and his feud with Baskin, and two from Louis Theroux titled America's Most Dangerous Pets (2011) and Shooting Joe Exotic (2021).
