Joe Exotic's Limo Seen on Standby as Legal Team Convinced Donald Trump Will Pardon Him
Tiger King star Joe Exotic has a limo ready to collect him from prison and a hairdresser and make-up artist on standby to make sure he looks his best if Donald Trump pardons him on his last day in office
Daily Mirror UK, 19 JAN 2021.
Joe Exotic 's team are so convinced he's going to get a pardon from Donald Trump, they have already booked a limo booked to collect him from prison with a hairdresser and makeup artist on standby.
The Tiger King star, 57, real name Joseph Maldonado-Passage, is serving 22 years behind bars for his role in a murder-for-hire plot to kill his nemesis Carole Baskin and violating wildlife laws.
However, he's been appealing to outgoing US President Trump to issue a pardon that would allow him to get out of jail without serving the rest of his time behind bars.
Pardons are often handed out at the very end of a president's term, but with Trump's time in office set to come to an end tomorrow, there's still no sign of whether he'll take pity on Joe's case.
However, that hasn't stopped Joe's team from getting excited about what could potentially happen on Trump's last day in office.
They've even made sure there's a stretch limo on stand-by to pick Joe up from prison in Fort Worth, Texas if the pardon is issued.
Tiger Team founder Eric Love, who is running a campaign to get Joe out of prison, told KOCO 5 in Oklahoma he's "absolutely confident" the Netflix star will get a pardon from Trump.
He goes on to explain Joe is feeling worried about his image after his stint in prison, so there's a hairdresser and makeup artist to make sure he looks his best if he gets out.
He said: "I am absolutely confident that we are going to receive the pardon tomorrow.
"We worked very hard on it...
"We've got hair and makeup, including a wardrobe, trust me, anything you can think of, we have it, including a doctor. Also a mental health expert.
"Joe's biggest thing is that he can't wait to get out as you can imagine, and he doesn't want anyone to see him until his hair is done.
"So the most important person tomorrow is the hair and makeup and wardrobe folks."
Eric also spoke to Metro.co.uk and revealed the team have planned a huge party for Joe, and he hopes to be celebrating his freedom with pizza, steak and a McRib from McDonald's.
He said: "This time tomorrow, we’re going to be celebrating. We have good reason to believe it will come through.
"We're confident enough we already have a limousine parked about half a mile from the prison.
"The first thing Joe wants to do, he wants his hair done. He hasn’t had his hair done in two-and-a-half years.
"That’s the first order of business. Then we’ll probably go and get some pizzas, steak, maybe a McRib."
