Joe Exotic moaning jail letter leaked from Covid lockdown as he begs for Carole Baskin mercy

Joe Exotic has written a jail lockdown letter begging for his murder plot conviction to be quashed as he battles to stay safe from Covid.

Tiger King "star" Joe, who has become a Tik Tok celebrity in light of his controversial and criminal character, was transferred from Oaklahoma's Grady County jail to isolation in the Federal Bureau of Prisons facility in Texas.

It isn't believed the twice married mullet wearing star has coronavirus but underlying health problems means after six inmates tested positive for COVID-19 he was swiftly moved.

In a letter mailed Monday, Joe writes that he is still being isolated and moans he has "NO access to a computer, phone, email or library."

According to The Oaklahoman Joe's disclosure about being in isolation came in a handwritten letter filed in the civil rights case in the federal court.

It relates to his 22-year sentence and conviction - Joe is currently suing the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, his lead prosecutor, a federal agent, a former business partner and others he blames for his arrest and conviction.

He is asking for $94 million in damages.

On Wednesday night, Joe's nemisis Jeff Lowe went onto Reddit to answer burning questions that some fans had about the show.

One Reddit user asked: "At what point did you realize Joe was bats*** insane? It seemed that the two of you were close at the beginning, did something happen specifically to change your opinion of him?"

Jeff answered: "Ya know, what initially p***ed me off about Joe is when we were going to Vegas and I received a message regarding him.

"The turning point for me was when he was saying he was going to put down two tiger cubs before we returned, and I lost all respect for him."

With Joe becoming more obsessed with the downfall of Carole Baskin, Jeff realised that backing the zoo owner could be highly damaging and he turned on him, much to Joe's rage.
