Joe Francis May Be Screwed Because Of The Security Video

mayjahdrama__opt1.jpg

Yesterday we told you about the security video that has been released that shows Joe Francis attacking Playmate Jayde Nicole at Guys and Dolls nightclub.

According to a retired LAPD Lieutenant, the video alone could land Francis back in jail.

The retired officer says: "If the officers saw the video or if they'd had the benefit of seeing the video, I think you have felony battery."

The keyword there is "think".

But remember, Francis isn't completely at fault. The officer goes on to say, "They've both committed crimes", but Francis' is a more serious crime.

He has a point, even though Jayde was the one who provoked the attack, not once but TWICE.

We're sure Jayde is excited to hear this news, seeing as this could help her vendetta case in court.

      The problem for Jayde is that courts look at these things different thn police officers. Courts have the "But For" rule. But for her actions would this incident have taken place? i.e. if she hadn't assaulted him first would he have attacked her? The answer is no. So even if Joe gets some trouble, she is nowhere near off the hook on this one.

      What the heck is Brody doing with that girl?! she looks fuckly! He could do better! Not that I like him or anything, but he could do better..



    3. 3

      P.S. What the hell is up with her face? She makes Lisa Rinna look natural.



    4. 4

      The law will rest on his side. She did, effectively, assult him.

      I think it's funny after the whole Will*I*Am incident you went on and on about how "VIOLENCE IS NEVER THE ANSWER" blah, blah, blah…
      But now you're saying Jayde provoked the fight twice.
      Well Sir, you most DEF. provoked being punched in the face.
      A man should never throw a woman to the ground and hit her, even if he was "provoked"



    7. 7

      She deserved it. I don't care if she's a girl and guys don't hit girls.. fuck that, if I provoke a guy, throwing a drink on him and hitting him in the back of the head, I can't cry and be all "omggggg u asshole!! how could u hit me?? I'm a girrrrl!!!" when he hits me.
      I'm not saying he should be off the hook, because violence is never the answer but the crazy bitch was asking for it.



    8. 8

      How would he be responsible? THIS WOULDOF NEVER HAPPEND IF SHE DIDN'T PROVOKE HIM! God. Ridiculous. The retired police officer should STFU.



    9. 9

      GIVE THEM BOTH THE DEATH PENALTY!



    10. 10

      They deserve what they get. Both are basically worthless troublemakers



    11. 11

      I went to school with Jayde, and I can promise you she hasn't had any plastic surgery…she's looked like that ever since grade school!

      first of all this guy peddles porn, why would jayde even get involved with him, but she is kind of a porn chick herself. a guy that dabbles in demoralizing women probably doesnt have much respect for women.
      *
      second yes, he will probably go back to jail since this is in clear violation of his probation, he is old and should know better.
      *
      third according to this websites account of the video in question she will more than likely be put on some sort of probation too, no jail time just probation, she is an ugly girl with a nice body and some money but no class.



    13. 13

      why is perez so damn eager to protect francis??



    14. 14

      Re: abunchacrunch – i agree!



    15. 15

      If you put your hands on someone, you're only asking to get hit/attacked. She got exactly what she was asking for. If he gets in trouble, I hope she does as well. Skank.



    16. 16

      Perez must be getting tips from Joe Francis. He has been known to kiss ass to the media so that they dont show him in such a bad light. I had head stories about Joe Francis being violent towards women, but seeing that video was quite disturbing. The guy needs locked up.



    17. 17

      That gal is odd looking. Yikes! How on earth was she in Playboy?



    18. 18

      It seems to me like you are standing up for Joe. Why do you seem to sometimes develop loyalties to some of these "celebrities" and warp stories for them? It is pretty obvious to me that Joe is wrong in this case, but you seem to be trying to push all the blame on the girl. He committed assault on a woman!

      Why would you try to change the story that you give to the American (maybe other countries?) public? I've seen this in the past, you don't change it much, just enough to try to change people's views about the situation when it is a celebrity that you like. When it is a celebrity that you don't like, you tend to pick at them and write awful stories about them (Jen Aniston, Miley Cyrus, etc.). Why not just relay the facts? Why stick your opinion of the person in there, much less alter a story for the person's benefit or detriment?

      You have developed a lot of power with this blog and I think you have abused it many times. Maybe that is something that you can try to change? Let people develop their own opinions?



    19. 19

      I'm sorry, I am not usually catty. But what is up with that poor girl's face?



    20. 20

      Wait. So some of you think that because she's crazy bitch or whatever and that she provoked him, that she is at fault for HIS actions?! Seriously?! Please tell me that you are all smarter than to really believe this. Each of use are responsible for OUR OWN ACTIONS. Regardless. What she did changes nothing. He reacted on his own accord and no one but he, himself, Joe Francis is to be held accountable for his actions, just like she is to be held accountable for hers, but watch it again…a little nudge on the head (cause no matter how you spin it, that's what it was) and a drink on the shoulder, in no way constitutes the level of violence he took it too. And he certainly didn't exhibit ANY signs of abuse, other than a wet shirt. Just sayin…get a clue y'all!



    21. 21

      Fry that fool. He obviously hates women. She was out of line but he is a tool.



    22. 22

      And P.S. For those who think "she deserved it"…Joe Francis didn't? I think he deserves a lot worse than a "head nudge" AND he's a repeat offender against women?! I think someone should beat that guys ass on a daily basis, cause that's what "HE deserves"….seriously and anyone who tries to argue otherwise, I just have to ask…what uneducated part of the world do you come from?



    23. 23

      i had to watch that twice… cause is was sooo FUNNY !
      bitch deserved what she got ! myself being a girl if i were to assault a man I fully expect to be assaulted back ! Dont start something if your too afraid the guy will finish.. because more times than none the guy will ALWAYS FINISH IT !

      24

      wow after watching that video I am kinda pissed that they only threw jf out the club and left that jayde bitch inside, she did as much to get thrown out.



    25. 25

      That "thing" is disgusting. She looks like she's from a different planet! She got what she deserved…



    26. 26

      Anyone else think she looks like Chynna?



    27. 27

      Re: Boondocks – Ooooh, that's a shaaaaaame…



    28. 28

      Re: Hazeldarling – Oh Please, SHE doesn't like him because of what he does? Give it a rest, she paraded her vajayjay out in Playboy so pretending she is some anti-porn crusader is idiotic. She attacked first he responded. She is a typical drunk crazy chick she attacked somebody bigger than her and got beat up. He will most likely get a probation violation and she will hopefully get a record for assault and battery and carrying around too much restyline in her face.



    29. 29

      Throw the book at the dumb skank.



    30. 30

      Come on people, some people are cursed to be ugly even how many loads of makeup they use. The girl is a living example. LOL



    31. 31

      Oh spindoc. I didn't say she is innocent. I said she should be held accountable for her actions as well. I'm not defending her character. I don't know her and I'm guessing you don't either. I'm just saying that she got beat the hell up and he walked away without a scratch. BOTH should be held accountable, but he should definitely not be allowed to continue beating women. She's no angel, but clearly he has a problem with his temper, but what I want to know is… Why do you think that's okay?



    32. 32

      AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT THINK BRODY'S GIRLFRIEND LOOKS LIKE A BLOW FISH???



    33. 33

      no matter what a dumb bitch she is it doesnt give that ugly prick the right to attack a chick….dumb fux keep saying "er if ya wanna fight like a man get prepared to be fought like man er" well he pulled her hair like a lil bitch thats not fighting like a man….i hope he gets raped in the ass in prison!



    34. 34

      The courts , the police and the judges hate Joe, so I am pretty sure the scumbag is going back to jail.
      No one but the Lardassians like this POS.



    35. 35

      You guys are crazy. The level of violence from Jayde and Joe were worlds apart, and they will be punished accordingly, with Joe receiving the much harsher punishment he deserves for acting so violently. Jade will also be punished but it's not comparable.

      The "But For" rule doesn't cover this as it was clearly not self-defense. The law will not side with Joe, as some people think, and it shouldn't as his actions were deplorable.

      I don't know why you all want to side with a woman-beater (and rapist and all around horrible person, making money off of the humiliation of vulnerable young girls they TARGET and intoxicate). It's actually kind of sad reading through these comments. Joe should have been been the better man, not responded with a vicious beating, and that's the law.



    36. 36

      That dumb fake bitch deserved it. Don't start shit unless you're ready to finish it. Would really like to see a pic of her black n blue face.. ha.



    37. 37

      one reason lady nana…jayde's a crazy bitch! crazy women are awwwesome in bed. brody just wants some chick to break his dick off every night. duh

      38

      Sorry, P, everyone else who's blogging on the video says it was major Joe Francis violence against women just like his alleged rape incidents!



    39. 39

      I don't know her personally, but from what I've seen it appears she has deep unconscious emotional issues. One that is obvious howeever, is her insecurity. Poor little lamb.



    40. 40

      Hey, I don't agree with guys ever touching girls, but I think it's a bit unfair to totally blame everything on the guy and that he must take it because he is a man. I think that every now and then a loud and abrasive girl should be put in her place IF she was the one who started throwing punches first.



    41. 41

      Jayde is FUGLY! She needs a new plastic surgeon. Woof!



    42. 42

      Re: HiHater – I am a woman and the problem with some of us is that we create our own misery. Women should not be any more entitled than a man. If a man walked up to a woman totally unprovoked and threw a drink on her and hit her in the head and she turned around and yanked his hair, we would say good for her and cart him off to jail. So why is it different because the roles are reversed? The man was going about his business when this lunatic assaulted him. He responded like any one who is attacked would. He did not hit her or throw anything on her, he just yanked her hair. He should have whooped her ass but good. Women need to stop provoking fights thinking that they can harm men and get away with it because the law is on their side. Don't put your hand on someone first if you are going to cry "wolf" when the person hit you back. Men should not hit women and women should not hit men. That is what we should teach our children.

      Long ago I was standing at a crowded bar with my then long-haired boyfriend when a disgruntled ex-girlfriend tried to light his hair on fire with a lighter when his back was turned. Alerted by the bartender and another patron he turned around and punched the girl in the head hard enough to briefly knock her out. The cops came and while they were talking to witnesses and my bf, she was jeering and taunting him that she got what she wanted…he was going to jail for assault. She was shouting out orders for rounds and hamming it up with her friends, making a big scene even bigger. When the officers approached her again she had this huge shit-eating grin on her face until they told her to turn around. The place was silent…then everyone cheered. It was our turn to point and laugh at the stupid girl that thought she could provoke someone into a rage and then just flounce off with no repercussions.
      .
      While I don't condone what Joe or my boyfriend did, what Jayde did was clearly provocation. She definitely has some culpablity in the the situation.

      ANYONE NOTICE EVERY STORY HAS FEWER THAN 99 COMMENTS WHEREAS IT USED TO BE IN THE HUNDREDS? *YOUR SITE IS DYING, PEREZ* *YOUR SITE IS DYING, PEREZ* *YOUR SITE IS DYING, PEREZ* *YOUR SITE IS DYING, PEREZ* *YOUR SITE IS DYING, PEREZ* *YOUR SITE IS DYING, PEREZ* *YOUR SITE IS DYING, PEREZ* *YOUR SITE IS DYING, PEREZ* *YOUR SITE IS DYING, PEREZ* *YOUR SITE IS DYING, PEREZ* *YOUR SITE IS DYING, PEREZ* *YOUR SITE IS DYING, PEREZ* *YOUR SITE IS DYING, PEREZ*



    45. 45

      Your such a DUMBASS PEREZ! She didn't "attack" him twice any more than Will.I.Am punched you. She poured a shot of alcohol on his shoulder. But her whips around, GRABS HER HAIR VIOLENTLY LAUNCHING HER TO THE GROUND! THAT is assault. Regardless of the dumb bitch's actions, JOE HAS NO RIGHT TO LAY A FINGER ON HER MUCH LESS DRAG HER LIKE A CAVEWOMAN. HYPOCRITE. "Violence is never the answer" right?????

    46. WTF?! says – reply to this


      46

      WTF is wrong with that girls face??????!!!!!!!



    47. 47

      BOTTOMLINE - The "B" attacked first and got just what she deserved. Regardless of male or female, no one should attack, touch, or pour a drink on anyone unless you are OK with your victim responding back in response to your actions.

      If Brody is mad with his step sisters, then shame on him for expecting them to take the side and support a messy gal that intiated physical contact on someone who was just walking pass them, and not even close for which she extended herself to attack him. Maybe Brody needs to realize his sisters does NOT want to be in the company of that kind of person.



    48. 48

      This guy is pure scum, and i hope he gets the book thrown at him!!!! from the video yeah, she pored her drink on him, which i would hardly call assault, but someone else clearly knocked his head right before she did it. even so, did you see the way he was so comfortable grabbing that girl by the hair and not just pulling it but dragging her!! now thats distrubing!! PIECE OF S@#T!!!



    49. 49

      What's distrubing is that she felt so comfortable and compelled to do what she did. She was not provoked and it appears her actions are being overlooked. This act does NOT happen without her self-initiated actions.

    50. @v@ says – reply to this


      50

      Wow. That's quite the video. That chick is some piece of work. Nasty.



    51. 51

      What crime did Jayde committ here? Pouring a drink on Joe isn't assault. Further, she did not hit him in the head as Perez thinks. I've viewed this video over and over. Was his actions reasonable? NO. Was it felony assault? YES! It's him that seems to be in it deep here. Not Jayde as Perez thinks. I'd stake my 30 years as a CA atty. on it.



    52. 52

      Re: JoliAvocat – I will not go as far as saying how many yrs. I have been at it but I will say this: at this point it is a civil matter and the courts are backed up. My guess is that this will be settled out of court at an un-disclosed amount of $$$ with limitations for both parties regarding the media circuit. Will probably be hush order from both clients in settlement if there is a settlement. Anyone can sue anyone but that doesn't mean one party or the other will come out ahead except us of course.



    53. 53

      Re: Boondocks – then she has always looked busted? lol.



    54. 54

      Re: YUCK – She's not ugly. That's just a bad pic. I've seen ugly. And yes more than likely Francis will go back to jail, he just got out last year, lol, what a loser.



    55. 55

      Re: binkie – Actually he was harassing a friend of Jayde's meaning acting like a tool on drugs so he totally deserved that drink in his face. Yep!
