Dillon Passage responds to criticism from husband Joe Exotic

Tiger King's Dillon Passage responds to his husband Joe Exotic's claims that he is being ignored while in prison.

Dillon Passage has posted a response to husband Joe Exotic's claims that he is being neglected in prison.

The Tiger King star - currently behind bars in Texas - hit out at Passage on Twitter this week, suggesting that he was interested in "money and fame".

"It's pretty sad to be in prison and still mean fucking nothing that ya can't even answer a phone," he wrote. "I see where I stand."

Passage - 32 years younger than Exotic - replied via Instagram with a photo that showed him cuddling their pet dogs.

"I wanted to get a post up to address Joe's recent activity on social media. He and I, like everyone in any relationship, go through their ups and downs," he wrote.

"This is magnified by the fact that our relationship is very public and the fact that one of his only outlets is social media. Unfortunately it isn't the healthiest place to deal with personal affairs and not how I normally handle my relationship challenges.

"Joe is obviously having a difficult time in prison and I don't think any of us can fault him for that. I've never spoken poorly of Joe, through the ups and the downs and through his good and his bad. I see through all of this and recognize and realize it for what it is; a man in prison just trying to do his best.

"I remain in support of Joe and want to be there for him. At 25, I also need to make sure I'm healthy, both body and mind. I know even though Joe may rant, he wants the best for me as I do for him. I am certain he wants me to lead a full life as all of you do for the people you love."

He added: "I didn't and don't want the spotlight. I've been thrown into this and just doing my best to support Joe, live my life, and love my dogs."

Earlier this week Exotic announced that he has written a "truth-tell" book while in prison and plans to release it later this year.
