Following a car accident last Saturday, Brandi’s life took a dramatic turn when Dallas police took Jorgie Boy away, temporarily relocating him to a wildlife sanctuary.

Editor: Thank you for joining us today, Brandi. Let’s start with what happened last Saturday. Can you tell us about the accident?
Brandi Botello: Thank you for having me. It was truly terrifying. I was involved in a car accident, but I want to clarify that I wasn’t driving—there were circumstances surrounding that. Jorgie Boy was with me but was asleep in the back seat. Thankfully, he wasn’t injured. I just can’t believe this happened.
Editor: That must have been incredibly distressing. How did the police respond after the accident?
Brandi Botello: They came to the scene and, after assessing the situation, they took Jorgie Boy away. I had no idea they would do that. They mentioned it was for his safety and well-being, but it felt so sudden—I was in shock. I’ve shared so many moments with him; he’s been my companion and my family.
Editor: It’s clear that Jorgie Boy means the world to you. You’ve shared your experiences together on social media. Can you tell us about your bond?
Brandi Botello: Jorgie Boy is my little boy. We do everything together! I dress him in pajamas, and we snuggle at night. We even celebrate Halloween together and watch Dallas Cowboys games. Social media has been a way for me to express my heartbreak—I’ve used the hashtag “Free Jorgie Boy” to get people’s attention and help me find a way back to him.
Editor: How are you coping with the situation right now?
Brandi Botello: Honestly, it’s been incredibly tough. I’m scrolling through all our photos and videos, and it just hurts. I can’t stop crying; I just want my baby back. I feel lost without him.
Editor: Along with the emotional aspect, it seems there are legal complications as well. You mentioned that owning a monkey in Texas requires permits. Can you elaborate on that?
Brandi Botello: Yes, I was unaware of the regulations regarding exotic animals. I received Jorgie Boy as a baby and never thought I’d have to deal with this kind of situation. It’s devastating to realize I may not have been fully informed about the laws in Irving. I love Jorgie Boy deeply and never wanted to do anything wrong.
Editor: Have you been in contact with officials about getting Jorgie Boy back?
Brandi Botello: I’ve been trying to communicate with the authorities, but there’s a lot of bureaucracy. I’m hoping to prove that I can provide a loving and safe home for him. There’s so much misinformation and I just want to be with my baby again.
Editor: Is there anything you would like to say to the public or to those following your story?
Brandi Botello: Thank you to everyone who has supported me. Your words mean so much. I just want people to understand how much this hurts. Jorgie Boy is not just a pet to me; he is my family. I appreciate any help in spreading the message to get him back.
Editor: Thank you for sharing your story during this challenging time, Brandi. We hope for a positive resolution for you and Jorgie Boy.
Brandi Botello: Thank you. I just want him back home, where he belongs.
