Lawyerhoped-for Kim Kardashian has worked with the Trump assistants to pardon numerous depression-risk and first-time offenders, most of them Black women convicted of non-trigger-happy crimes. At present, Netflix glory (and not particularly stand-up guy) Joe Exotic is reportedly asking for her help to commute his sentence.

ET obtained the handwritten alphabetic character, dated November four, that Exotic wrote to Kardashian from prison. He is currently serving 22 years for plotting a murder-for-hire confronting longtime nemesis and animal rights advocate Carole Baskin.

"I know you accept never met me and may never desire to however I do believe that yous hold the values of our justice system honey to your heart," Exotic explains. "I am writing y'all this letter not as Joe Exotic but as the person Joseph Maldonado-Passage, asking you lot to please help me by just taking 10 minutes out of your life and placing a call to President Trump to look at my 257 folio pardon it's all the prove I'm innocent and ask him to sign my pardon so I tin return home."

It's not as far-fetched a plan equally it may seem. Kardashian, like many of us, watched Tiger King during quarantine, and even expressed interest in the documentary's reveal that Baskin is widely accused of murdering her quondam husband to her followers on Twitter.

For Halloween this year, Kardashian and BFF Jonathan Cheban (Kanye apparently didn't tune in to the Netflix result of 2020) dressed up as Baskin and Exotic respectively. Her kids with Kanye were costumed as tigers. Hopefully Large Cat Rescue ones, considering Exotic stands accused of euthanizing animals at his dodgy roadside zoo.

Kardashian has not publicly responded to Joe Exotic's alphabetic character, but she does have some actress fourth dimension on her easily afterward the almanac Kardashian Christmas party got canceled due to COVID-19.

Possibly this awful twelvemonth will end with Trump pardoning an considerately reprehensible criminal, with help from the about famous woman in America. Sounds nigh correct.

Its really a lot more impressive than it sounds on paper — if it was whatsoever other twelvemonth, the giant robot would accept probably made more of a splash merely between pandemics, protests, natural disasters, murder hornets, Carole Baskin being on Dancing with the Stars and whatever new wacky biblical plague we happen to exist dealing with this week, information technology's not hard to run into why it might take flown nether your radar. You would even be forgiven for initially dismissing information technology as some sort of elaborate CGI deepfake (we've been burned earlier), just it turns out the massive replica RX-78-2 is quite real and actually meant to be the principal attraction for a new Gundam-themed amusement park.

The Gundam Factory was initially scheduled to open in October but for obvious COVID-nineteen related reasons, that has been delayed indefinitely. For the fourth dimension being, the Gundam will stand guard in the Port of Yokohama just in case Godzilla decides he wants to effort anything funny before the year is up.
