Joe Exotic in The Tiger King on Netflix.
The Tiger King star is facing another personal setback.
According to TMZ, Joe Exotic's 33-year-old husband, Jorge Marquez Flores, was released from a Texas prison and immediately deported to Mexico on Friday.
The Tiger King star has kept his followers updated on Flores' deportation on his social media and even said he'll be moving to Mexico to live with Flores until he can move back to the USA safely and legally.
The couple got married in November 2024 and Exotic even said it was the most "loving and devoted" 10 months of his life despite the legal troubles they faced behind bars.
Flores was in prison for immigration-related issues while Exotic is still serving time for his involvement in a murder-for-hire plot targeting his Tiger King costar Carole Baskin.
Exotic was originally sentenced to 22 years in prison in January 2020, but his sentence was later reduced to 21 years in January 2022. As of now, his release date is March 18, 2036.
