'Tiger King' Star Joe Exotic Asks Kim Kardashian For Help To Get Presidential Pardon From Donald Trump

Joe Exotic penned a letter addressed to Kim Kardashian asking the reality star for help to get a presidential pardon.

The "Tiger King" star wrote a handwritten letter to seek help from the reality TV actress in getting a presidential pardon from President Donald Trump. Entertainment Tonight obtained a copy of Joe's letter to the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star.

"I know you have never met me and may never want to however I do believe that you hold the values of our justice system dear to your heart," Joe wrote in the letter dated Nov. 4.

"I am writing you this letter not as Joe Exotic but as the person Joseph Maldonado-Passage, asking you to please help me by just taking 10 minutes out of your life and placing a call to President Trump to look at my 257 page pardon it's all the evidence I'm innocent and ask him to sign my pardon so I can return home to [my husband] Dillon [Passage] and my father."

In his letter, Joe stressed that Allen was lying under oath and his conviction, even if he is innocent, is a travesty of justice. Aside from asking Kardashian's help to convince Trump to sign his pardon, he also wanted her to ask Attorney General William Barr to open every case they have been on and look for perjury for a conviction.

"I have lost 57 years of work, my zoo, my animals, my mother has died, my dad is dying and I've been taken away from my husband who I love dearly. Everyone is so busy making movies, getting interviews, selling stuff and dressing up like me that everyone forgot I'm a real live person in prison and kept from even telling my own story for something I didn't do," he continued.

Joe asked Kardashian to give him a call. He also assured the 40-year-old star that "no one even has to know you did it."

Kardashian has worked with Trump on prison sentencing reform. The KKW Beauty founder said she received a warning when she decided to work with the president because many did not want her to be associated with the POTUS.

"Trust me, everyone called me and said, ‘Don’t you dare step foot in that White House or your reputation is done," Kardashian told David Letterman when she appeared on Netflix’s "My Next Guest Needs No Introduction."

"And I said, ‘I have to step foot in there or these people’s lives don’t have a chance,'" she continued.

Kardashian is studying law and is dedicating herself to criminal justice reform. She hopes to continue her work regardless of who will be the next president.

Exotic is serving a 22-year prison sentence after being convicted for plotting a murder-for-hire against Big Cat Rescue owner Carole Baskin. He was incarcerated at FMC Fort Worth in Texas in March 2020. Meanwhile, Baskin received control of Joe's zoo property in June, ET noted.
