Dillon Passage replies to Joe Exotic's letter

Dillon Passage took to his Instagram handle to reply to Joe Exotic’s letter. He shared a picture of himself with his dog and addressed the matter of letters in the caption of the post that read:

“My heart is breaking after reading Joe’s letter 💔 He is living in hell right now and I’m outraged by the way he is being treated. I can’t even begin to imagine how that is breaking his spirit. I love Joe and I’m standing by him. The photos that I post on here are a highlight reel of my life… What you don’t see are the hours that I’m alone at home, missing my husband and my friend. I’ve been writing letters and it is a shame to hear that he isn’t receiving them… I know they limit the amount he can read in a week and I only hope they eventually get to him. Joe, I hope that this reaches you too. Know that I love you and I’m fighting for you everyday. #freejoeexotic ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️” [sic].

Joe Exotic ended that letter by asking for help from Cardi B and Kim Kardashian. He wrote, “Cardi “B” –  Kim “K” Please ladies I've done nothing wrong. But act a fool to protect my zoo from arson and people hurting my animals. Hear my scream for help.” He signed off saying “I love you All.”
