While scores of people are watching Tiger King on Netflix as they stay home amid the coronavirus outbreak, it appears that the subject of the docuseries is now himself in quarantine because of the pandemic.

During an interview with Andy Cohen on Cohen’s SiriusXM radio show, the husband of Joseph Maldonado-Passage – better known by his adopted name, Joe Exotic – told the host that Maldonado-Passage had been put in isolation in prison in Texas, after some inmates at a jail where Maldonado-Passage is at had previously been tested positive for the coronavirus.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Dillon Passage told Cohen that Maldonado-Passage “is not necessarily thought to be infected, but since he recently transferred from a prison with multiple cases, he was placed in isolation for safety.”
