Influencer Brandi Botello distraught as cops seize beloved pet spider monkey Jorgie Boy after DUI crash By NIC WHITE FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 22:29, 14 November 2024 | Updated: 22:54, 14 November 2024 e-mail View comments An influencer is begging to be reunited with her Instagram-famous spider monkey that was confiscated after she was in a drunken car crash. Jorgie Boy, an almost three-year-old primate, is recuperating at Funky Monkey Ranch near Burleson, Texas , with what staff said was rickets.
He weighs just 6lbs, half what a spider monkey his age should, and had tiny fractures in his bones due to the metabolic bone disease caused by poor nutrition. Fashion influencer Brandi Botello begged authorities to give Jorgie Boy back after Dallas police found them in a car wreck on early Saturday morning. 'These past few days have been the hardest days of my life, I'm devastated.
I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't sit still,' she said. 'I'm so used to waking up every morning with him hugging my face we do everything together we share food, we take baths together I'm willing to keep trying my hardest to get him back home. 'It breaks my heart knowing his probably caged up when he's never been in one before he's with me 24/7.
' Botello was involved in a car crash with Jorgie Boy, who was asleep on her lap and uninjured, where the vehicle hit a curb so hard the wheels were torn off. Jorgie Boy, an almost three-year-old primate, is recuperating at Funky Monkey Ranch near Burleson, T.
