Tiger King’s husband, Dillon Passage, rates Belize experience; hopes to return

Posted: Tuesday, April 7, 2020. 7:19 pm CST.

By Aaron Humes: The highly-rated and super salacious Netflix true-crime documentary series “Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness” tells the story of one Joseph Allen Maldonado-Passage, otherwise known as Joe “the Tiger King” Exotic, a larger-than-life gay Oklahoma zoo owner and tiger breeder now convicted of federal animal abuse and murder for hire charges.

Before he was brought to trial, the 57-year old married his much younger partner and third husband, Dillon Passage, 23, in December 2017.

Passage apparently visited Belize in December with a close family friend (not Joe Exotic as had been reported in the documentary) and has now spoken to Forbes Online about it.

Both Joe Exotic and Passage made fake Facebook posts alluding they were in Belize together when in fact they weren’t, to throw the Federal authorities off their trail.

Passage told Forbes he likes spending time on the water and gives rave reviews to Belize’s crystal clear waters, Barrier Reef, and snorkeling and swimming with the sharks off Ambergris Caye, where he spent much of his time.

He also says his sexuality was accepted by most people he met (though Belize doesn’t have much of an LGBT “scene”) and that he approves of how locals live and work with each other despite having less than their American counterparts.

“What I loved most about Belize was seeing how the community comes together to help each other. Everybody was super nice and wanted to assist in any way possible to make sure visitors found their way around and had everything they needed,” he told Forbes.

He specifically rated the Blue Water Grill and Palapa Bar and Grill, both in San Pedro Town, but is not a fan of Belize’s “bumpy” roads.

But in good news for the tourism industry, he plans to be back after the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic. And for all you cool cats and kittens, as the Tiger King’s arch-nemesis Carole Baskin would say, if you’ve already seen the series and couldn’t get enough, there are reports that a bonus episode may soon be on the way.
