In news that will surprise nobody, Joe Exotic’s current 22 year old husband has revealed that he was a drug addict as well when they went on their first date. Who would have thought?

Dillon Passage was appearing on Andy Cohen’s SiriusXM show and was more than happy to discuss some of the more intimate details of his relationship with Joe, as well as revealing that he was currently in isolation at FMC Fort Worth because of Coronavirus. You can listen to the full interview on the YouTube clip below, but we’ve put some of the key takeouts from it underneath in text form as well:

We speak like three to five times every day, but since he’s been moved to this new facility, they are putting him on COVID-19 isolation because of the previous jail he was at, there were cases.

I’ve yet to speak to him since he moved.

I got engaged to Joe Exotic after only dating for two weeks. I was in a really bad place when I met Joe. I was going through a lot of things and was an addict.

Being around the animals at the Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park gave me a purpose and made me feel like I was actually doing something in my life. It brought me out of my depression. It was like my own little rehab. I never saw Joe abuse any of the big cats at the GW Exotic Park.

I met Joe on Grinder and was swept off my feet when Joe sang karaoke and dedicated the song This Old Town to him. I was addicted to prescribed narcotics, especially Xanax at the time, but now I only uses alcohol and smokes weed sometimes.

I do love Joe, he’s been there for me through my darkest times, I’m just not going to dip on and abandon him when he needs me most. He never asked me to do any S&M activity. He did drive me to get my nipples pierced though.

There was never tigers in the room when he and Joe had sex. I made Joe take out his Prince Albert out before sex.

I didn’t mind that (Travis Maldonado’s mother) Cheryl was at his wedding with Joe. She was at the park every day.

I think that she was coerced into saying things on camera. She was always happy, she would always hug me.

Joe Exotic hasn’t seen Tiger King since he’s in prison, but he’s enjoying all of the attention.

He’s getting hundreds and hundreds of messages to his jail mail.

I never had a prenup with Joe and I’ve been very loyal to him whilst he’s been in prison.

I actually learned a lot from the ‘Tiger King’, especially about Joe’s feud with Carole Baskin.

I’m currently living in Florida, and I currently work as a bartender.

Joe’s a really good guy and he may have made some sketchy decisions, and I know he regrets them, but his intentions are really good at heart and he would do anything to help anyone in need.

Well that was interesting wasn’t it? Think he’s probably a bit misguided with his love and admiration for Joe after watching that documentary, but I suppose that’s just what love (grooming? Sexual manipulation/abuse?) does to you isn’t it?

Not really that surprising that he was a vulnerable drug addict at the time they met either, but it is kinda unexpected that Joe took his Prince Albert out when he was having sex with him. Had him down as the kinda guy that would really want to slam someone hard like that. Not sure why.

For more of the same, here’s a Twitter thread that exposes a whole bunch of crazy unsaid stuff in Tiger King. Hot damn.
