Although Joe Exotic released a romantic music video in honor of John Finlay (a still from the video is pictured above), their relationship wasn’t all rainbows and butterflies. Shortly after the three-way marriage in 2014, Finlay accused “Joe of being manipulative and controlling,” culminating in an alleged physical altercation between the two in August 2014. Finlay allegedly “attacked Joe in the back parking lot” of the G.W. Zoo, and was “arrested and charged with assault and battery,” according to Texas Monthly.
Finlay ultimately left Joe for a female park employee, but it didn’t mean he was completely rid of his ex-husband. That’s because Joe had paid for “John to get a tattoo, just above his pelvis, that read PRIVATELY OWNED BY JOE EXOTIC,” per Texas Monthly.
It’s unclear if the tattoo was any consolation for Joe, who lamented to Tiger King filmmakers (via Oxygen), “He left me for a girl. I can’t compete with that.”
