Tiger King star Joe Exotic has left ‘everything’ to his fiancé in a new will.
The 59-year-old reality star, who is currently serving a 21-year sentence after being found guilty of a contract killing against his rival Carole Baskin and finalizing his divorce from Dillon Passage in January, reunited with former Flame Seth in last June and has now revealed that he doesn’t want anyone in his family to have anything when he dies.
Joe said: “I’m so tired of everything that’s going on there with people trying to take advantage of me and trying to write off my name and everything else.
“So I have my attorney, Autumn Blackledge, she’s the executor, and I don’t want my will, or Jeff Lowe, nobody getting anything from me. Trademarks, copyrights, I just gave it all to my fiancé, Seth Posey.”
He continued: “He’s been there every day for five years. I know everything about Seth, I talk to his mother and I talk to everyone.

“All these people trying to f*** other people just give it up because I gave it all away. And if anything happens to Seth, the will says it goes to his son,’ Joe said.
The former zoo keeper, who rose to fame alongside Carole in the Netflix documentary series Tiger King, was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2021 but is now in remission and went on to announce that he has signed a DNR with the Federal Medical Center, Fort Worth and explained that he would like former co-star John Reinke to use a GoFundMe page to take care of funeral plans with his fiancé before scattering his ashes next to those of his late husband Travis Maldonado, who took his own life in 2017 May 23 Year old.
Speaking to TMZ from his Texas jail cell, he said, “It’s been five years since ‘Tiger King’ and since my arrest. I’m the only tiger king, I’m the only one who will ever be the tiger king! OK? So go on!
“The only thing I want to make very clear to the world is that when I die – I’ve been through cancer, I’ve been through five years in prison – I’ve signed a DNR with prison. Nobody’s gonna revive me, okay?
“I want everyone to know that John Reinke needs to raise GoFundMe for my funeral, okay? And cremating me and having a funeral and scattering my ashes where Travis’s are by the lake. And what’s left, I want him and Seth to share.
“He was with me the whole time and Seth with him. There are so many of us here that don’t belong here and we should be with our families so I appreciate your support. Be my voice!’
In November, Exotic applied for release from prison to receive treatment after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer.
