Tiger King's Joe Exotic 'forced to wear same prison clothes for seven months'
Tiger King star Joe Exotic was reportedly left without a replacement uniform or shoes for seven months when he was incarcerated at FMC Fort Worth Prison for plotting to kill Carole Baskin
Joe Exotic has claimed he's been forced to wear the same prison clothes for seven months.
The Tiger King star's friend Eric Love, who is part of his legal team, has said Exotic has been left without a replacement uniform or shoes since he was incarcerated at FMC Fort Worth Prison.
He was given new clothes after Love issued a grievance against authorities, detailing many issues including a fear he would not survive behind bars, the Daily Star reports.
Exotic, who shot to fame after starring in the Netflix series about him, is serving 22 years for plotting to kill zoo rival Carole Baskin.
The Texas Bureau Of Prison launched an investigation into Exotic's care at the prison, after Love claimed he feared for his life, it's reported.
Love said: "Things have changed already. Joe has had his first change of uniform and shoes since he arrived there in March.
"He got them almost immediately after the grievance and is glad to finally have clean clothing after seven months.
"A week after the grievance was filed and the story came out, Joe received his infusion on November 17.
"His last infusion was 120 days before that and he needs them each month."
He added: "An internal investigation has been launched. I have not been formally advised this is the case, but I have a leaky ear who informed me that it is in progress.
"I've been pushing for this investigation for a long time.
"So Joe is doing better, he is a little more optimistic now and feels we are making strides with his situation."
