Joe Exotic's doctors 'believe prostate cancer has spread' as star 'refuses treatment'

Joe Exotic's medical team believe his prostate cancer has spread to his bladder, but the jailed star is refusing treatment, according to reports.

The 59-year-old reality star – who was jailed in 2019 for a string of offences including animal abuse charges and a murder-for-hire plot, as documented in the hit Netflix series – has recently had a lot of blood in his urine and has bled a lot during his cancer treatments, according to a letter obtained by TMZ.

Exotic – whose real name is Joseph Maldonado – has reportedly decided not to have treatment after his urology specialist revealed they believed his cancer has spread to his bladder and wants him to have confirmation tests.
