Jeremy Meeks was ready to make his overseas debut, but the United Kingdom wouldn’t let him. Nicknamed “Felon Bae,” Meeks had social media swooning when his mugshot from the Stockton Police Department went viral. Meeks was facing federal gun charges in California at the time.

After serving his sentence in prison, Meeks was released in March of last year and he’s taken his good looks to new heights. As soon as he was released, Hollywood agent Gina Rodriguez reached out to him and kick-started his modeling career. You can catch the 33-year-old in various hot spots, such as New York Fashion Week. Recently, Meeks acquired a work visa and letter from his parole officer so he could travel to the UK for a fashion gig.

However, when he arrived at a London airport with his manager and wife, Melissa, he was detained by border officials. Melissa and his manager waited at an airport restaurant for five hours before they were told Meeks had been sent back to New York. He was even police-escorted onto the plane.

“Escorts, escorts. Don’t make no sense,” Meeks complained once he was detained. In a video he filmed, he continued, “I’m sick of this sht. I’ve been denied. London don’t want me here having served my time. This sht is crazy.”
