Hilary Duff’s husband Matthew Koma BAFFLES fans as he chats with jailed Tiger King star Joe Exotic on Instagram – with Netflix star pleading: ‘Get me out of here!’
Fans of Hilary Duff were left stunned after her husband Matthew Koma had a surprising conversation with a very unlikely Instagram follower: jailed Tiger King star Joe Exotic.
The mind-boggling conversation all started after Duff, 36, shared an Instagram post about her Thanksgiving Day vacation — prompting the jailed reality star to comment with a series of heart emojis.
Duff’s husband Koma, 36, quickly caught wind of the unlikely fan and then asked him about life behind bars before offering to visit the Netflix star in prison.
Exotic, a former zookeeper, is currently serving a 21-year prison sentence after being found guilty of a murder-for-hire plot against rival Carole Baskin.
“Holy s**t,” Koma responded to the post.

Exotic — real name Joseph Allen Maldonado — replied with another red heart emoji and “Get me out of here.”
“What prison are you in?” Koma then asked. “Federal Medical Center in Fort Worth, Texas,” Joe, 60, replied.
‘Are visitors allowed?’ Koma asked. “Right now they barely let me talk to my lawyers,” Exotic claimed.
‘Damn. If that changes, let us know and I’ll come hang out for the day,” Koma said.
“Thanks, Matthew,” Joe replied.
“And music when you get out, for sure,” Matthew continued. He continued with “Can you record something there?”
Fans were equally shocked by the comment, with several expressing their surprise in the thread.
“Mindblown,” the Instagram user wrote.

Another posted in response to Koma’s “holy shit” comment: “My thoughts exactly.”
Exotic was convicted on 17 federal charges of animal cruelty and two counts of attempted murder for hire in his plot to kill nemesis and Big Cat Rescue owner, Carole Baskin, in 2019.
The case was the focus of the highly popular 2020 Netflix series Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem, and Madness.
In February, TMZ reported that Exotic’s medical team believed his prostate cancer had spread to his bladder, but he refused treatment.
Hilary’s original post was a collage of her Thanksgiving Day memories, including videos of friends and family around the dinner table, photos of her children and their decadent feast.
“Grateful,” she captioned the post.

Hilary shares daughters Banks Violet, five, and Mae James, two, with her husband Matthew. She also has son Luca, 11, with her ex-husband Mike Comrie.
Motherhood has inspired Hilary to expand her creative horizons, as she has written two children’s books since becoming a mother.
She released My Little Brave Girl in March 2021, and My Little Sweet Boy was released earlier this month.
She engaged her social media followers in a recent Instagram post in which she plugged the book, writing, “This book makes a great gift or a nice addition to your relaxation moments.”
She added, “Pick up your copy wherever books are sold! As always, thank you for your love and support.”
