The Tiger King talks husbands, fame and feud with Carole -- all from behind bars! (via toofab)

For those who have not witnessed the glory of "Tiger King," the series revolves around the shenanigans of Exotic --real name Joseph Maldonado-Passage -- who runs an exotic animal park, and is embattled in a bitter saga with Baskin, fellow big cat enthusiast and owner of her own sanctuary. Drugs, guns, and polygamy run rampant until Exotic is served a 22-year prison term for his involvement in a murder-for-hire plot to get rid of 'Hey, all you cool cats and kittens' Baskin.

"Go sit in a cage with your animals for a week," he said. "I mean, when I left the zoo and I sent my chimpanzees to the sanctuary in Florida and imagined what my chimpanzees went through for 18 years, I -- I'm ashamed of myself." Despite the fact he was only married to Dillon Passage for eight months before moving into a new life behind bars, Exotic thanked Passage for supporting him during this tough time.
