In a crossover that nobody saw coming, Joe Exotic is hoping 90 Day Fiance star Jesse Meester can help him out of prison.

The Tiger King star is currently serving a 21-year sentence for a murder-for-hire plot against his rival Carole Baskin and animal abuse charges.

After failing to secure a pardon from outgoing President Donald Trump last year, despite a limo waiting for him outside jail, Exotic is now hoping that Jesse can capture the attention of President Joe Biden.

The former zookeeper posted a photo of the 29-year-old reality star on Instagram explaining how his involvement in the case.

‘Meet my amazing dear friend Jesse Meester, actor, model, and so much more,’ Exotic penned.

‘You will see him around on my stuff more and more as he is going to help me get a voice to the White House for President Biden to sign my pardon before November of this year.

‘Show him some love. Love you, Jesse.’

Jesse vowed to ‘fight’ to secure Exotic’s release in a comment underneath the post.

‘We love you too Joe!’ Jesse wrote. ‘People close to you turned their back on you, but not us.

‘You helped many people through lockdown and we should never forget the truth and authenticity you lived your life with.

‘It’s sad that the backstabbing and lying has become the norm [in] this society. Time to unite and fight back to get you out.’

Jesse first appeared on 90 Day Fiancé in 2018, before going on to appear in further spin-offs, including 90 Day: The Single Life season 2.

Meanwhile, Exotic previously asked President Biden to pardon him after he was diagnosed with prostate cancer.

He has also been vocal on social media in trying to rally support for his motion.

Last month, an email from Exotic, which was shared on social media, read: ‘How many of you would at least respect President Biden if he pardoned me and allowed me to testify before Congress on what really is going on with all of this?

‘Not asking you to vote for him, just asking if you would respect him for doing the right thing and showing that the corruption in our system has to stop and allow me to go home.

‘Come on, show the man how many people around the world see that this is all BS that I am sitting in an American Prison innocent.’
