The brand Odaingerous contacted Joe Exotic, whose real name is Joseph Allen Maldonado-Passage, behind bars to confirm this six-month collaboration.
Exotic is currently in jail serving a 22-year sentence due to charges of animal abuse cases and and a murder to hire plot against the CEO of Big Cat Rescue – his sworn enemy – Carole Baskin.
However, this did not stop the prolific businessman, as Exotic exchanged numerous hand-written letters with the clothing label’s founder Odain Watson to make this brand collaboration happen.
Odain has revealed to In Touch how their partnership came to fruition, “I’m a gay minority designer and Joe is a fellow gay person. That connection of being the outsider, we connected on that level of being the underdog.”
Odain said he came up with the idea of having the clothing line be based on the theme of revenge, and said that Exotic loved the idea.
The best revenge is success and that’s what Joe stands for.

The pre-release was May 2nd, and comprised of a range of t-shirts ($39.99/£32), hoodies ($59.99/£48), joggers ($49.99/£40), and face masks ($19.99/£16). The whole lot sold out within the hour, amassing a total of $20,000 (£16,121).
With that initial success, Exotic has suggested branching out with lingerie and underwear, and also to get his husband Dillon to collaborate on modelling.
