Fans of the Netflix documentary series “Tiger King” are in shock today after the show’s star Joe Exotic penned a disturbing letter from prison in which he said that he will be dead in two or three months if President Donald Trump does not step in to help him.

In a letter obtained today by TMZ, Exotic wrote that his “soul is dead” as he explained he is losing hope from being incarcerated “24/7” without access to a phone, email, or commissary. He begged for a “miracle” from the president in the form of a pardon that would allow him to be released, adding that although he requires blood infusions “every four weeks” for common variable immune deficiency (CVID), he has “not had one since end of January.”

The letter, which was addressed to “supporters, fans, loves ones,” said, “I’m loosing weight, sores wont heal, I’ll be dead in 2-3 months, it’s like I have been sent to death row, they stopped all of my medication expect one, this place is hell on earth [sic].”

Exotic also asked people to stop sending him photos of his husband Dillon Passage enjoying himself in the real world, claiming that he has not heard anything from him since he was imprisoned.

“I don’t even know if I’m married anymore, seems everyone is so busy making money and being famous,” he wrote. “I don’t get even a letter from Dillon, everyone sends pictures of him having fun and all but as a person screaming for help I am asking you to stop.”

Exotic added that he feels like he is on death row, and that he has been backstabbed by everyone who once worked closely with him. He also made some questionable racial comments when he claimed he would be treated better if he was not a white man.

Exotic, whose real name is Joseph Maldonado-Passage, is serving a 22 year prison sentence after he was found guilty of two counts of murder-for-hire. He allegedly plotted to kill his rival, animal rights activist Carole Baskin, who he was convinced was trying to destroy his zoo. On top of that, he was convicted of 17 animal cruelty charges as well.
