Joe Exotic's husband Dillon Passage has claimed that his row with Jeff Lowe was sparked by a 'homophobic' comment.

In a bonus 'after show' episode of Tiger King released on Sunday, head zookeeper John Reinke said that he had witnessed a '15-minute fight' between Passage and Lowe, a businessman who eventually took over Exotic's zoo.

Asked about the incident, Passage alleged to Metro: "Jeff would always walk around the park just belittling absolutely everybody and really didn't have a care in the world.

"So, one day I was just getting water for my camel and, you know, and he makes a comment and so that's how that started.

"I have no desire to have any relationship with Jeff, he's just not the kind of people I like to be around."

Passage has also revealed that his husband is working on plans to launch a new radio show from inside prison.
