Who is Seth Posey? Joe Exotic bequeaths all his assets to fiance in new will
FORT WORTH, TEXAS: Media personality Joe Exotic, who was convicted on charges of attempted murder-for-hire, along with violating the Lacey Act and the Endangered Species Act, has reportedly signed a new will leaving all his assets to his fiancé Seth Posey, whom he met over the internet. Joe, 59, has at least another 20 years left of his prison sentence.
Exotic, popular as the 'Tiger King', ordered first responders not to revive him if he suffers any ailment such as a cardiac arrest, as per a recent report by TMZ. He has created a new will, stipulating that Posey will receive everything he owns after his death. The publication quoted him as saying that he is "sick of people standing in line waiting to collect my stuff" and is, thus, taking the preemptive measure.

Who is Seth Posey, Joe Exotic's fiance?
Seth Posey was introduced by Joe Exotic (real name Joseph Maldonado-Passage) as a participant of his Bachelor King Contest, as his “drop f*****g dead gorgeous” boyfriend from Arkansas. This was after he separated from his husband Dillon Passage. The contest was organized to select Exotic's new partner after his breakup with Passage, and anyone above the age of 18 was eligible to apply. "I intend on making my new life something I have always dreamed of, and I want to spend it with someone that can take a relationship serious and be in love and enjoy this ride, and make this about us as a team, not just me or the man I choose to carry on with,” Exotic said in a press release about the documentary while he was still in prison.
However, after dating for a few months toward the end of 2021, Seth and Joe had a brief breakup. Joe then got romantically involved with John Williams, who worked at his zoo. The two had first connected in 2003. However, in June 2022, Joe's lawyer announced that he and John had called off their relationship and that Seth and Exotic were together again. "Joe is thankful that Seth is back in his life. They are both taking things slowly and just enjoying the time to reconnect," the lawyer said, according to The Buffalo News.
