‘Hot Felon’ claims lovestruck fans fought over limited jail visit slots — leaving his 5-year-old shut out: ‘Too much’
NY Post
Lovestruck fans didn’t just slide into Jeremy Meeks’ DMs over the past few years — they showed up to jail.
The so-called “Hot Felon,” whose smoldering mugshot broke the internet back in 2014, said that overnight fame came with an unexpected downside: obsessed admirers hijacking limited prison visit slots — and shutting out the person who mattered most.

Within hours, the image racked up tens of thousands of likes, spawned the hashtag #FelonCrushFriday and turned Meeks into an overnight internet obsession.
“I was probably getting 300 letters a day, and it was just too much,” Meeks, now 42, recalled on the “Inside True Crime” podcast earlier this week.
“I’m getting naked pictures, I’m getting money orders,” he told host Matthew Cox. “All kind of money’s being sent in.”

The killing of Iran’s tyrannical Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday in an unprecedented joint military attack by the US and Israel called Operation Epic Fury set off widespread celebrations from Iranians around the world — as President Trump said it would give them their “greatest chance” to “take back the country.” Meanwhile, in Iran, a lack of internet has made it impossible for Iranians to easily communicate daily conditions. Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
