‘Tiger King’ Joe Exotic’s estranged husband Dillon Passage slams ‘false’ claims amid split: ‘stretching truth’

foxnews.com:

The estranged husband of imprisoned reality star Joe Exotic is speaking out against the "Tiger King" star amid their contentious divorce.

Chris Kirker and Holly Davis, the acting attorneys for Dillon Passage, 25, issued a statement to Fox News Digital on behalf of Passage on Monday in which they hit back at claims from Exotic – whose real name is Joseph Maldonado-Passage – that Passage allegedly "failed to serve his husband and did not follow through with obtaining a divorce through the legal system." "Joseph Maldonado-Passage, better known by the pseudonym ‘Joe Exotic,’ is well known for stretching the truth for personal gain, so we are unsurprised to find him doing the same in his divorce case against our client, Dillon Passage," the statement from Kirker Davis LLP reads.

Exotic made further claims, according to legal documents obtained by People magazine that he tried in multiple instances to reach Passage’s lawyers but had no luck getting in touch – claims that Passage’s legal counsel say is far from the truth. "Despite Joe's false claim that Dillon did not attempt to obtain a divorce through legal means, the Kirker Davis Law Firm presented a full and comprehensive settlement agreement to Joe's lawyer, Francisco Hernandez, on September 3, 2021.

On September 8, 2021 at 4:59 p.m. CST, our office received an email from Joe that said, ‘It will be a cold day in hell before I sign these papers’ and ‘Your out of your f--kin mind’ (sic).
