The husband of Joe Exotic from the Netflix series “Tiger King” was deported to Mexico on Friday, TMZ reported.

The outlet wrote on Monday that Exotic’s jail mate Jorge Marquez Flores, a 33-year-old Mexican national, and husband to Joseph Maldonado-Passage — better known as Joe Exotic — was deported to his home country after release from a Texas prison.
