According to a source that saw the video, it shows Jayde throwing a drink on Francis, which provoked him into grabbing her hair, probably to restrain her from doing anything else.
Jayde then fell to the ground, but Francis did not hit or kick her, or do anything else to her. In the chaos of the incident that Jayde caused, other people trampled her.
Outside the club Brody Jenner sucker punched Francis, while Brody’s friend used a taser on Francis.

Jayde filed a police report claiming Francis hit and kicked her repeatedly, but the tape supports Francis’ version of events, according to the source.
The source also said, “Most everyone involved in the case has been interviewed by detectives. We have two eyewitnesses to go.”
The detective continued, “Within the next two weeks, we will turn over our reports to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office for evaluation.”

EXCLUSIVE: Joe Francis' Ex Tells All About Fight- "I Just Want Him To Leave Me Alone"
Posted on Aug 31, 2009 @ 02:50PM - 6 comments
Abbey Wilson, the model at the center of the alleged nightclub fight between Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis and Playboy Playmate pin-up Jayde Nicole, gave RadarOnline.com the exclusive details of what really happened, what the fallout has been, and why she wants Francis to just leave her alone.
“Brody, Jayde and myself, had a separate table inside the club and Joe was sat at his own private one away from us too," she told RadarOnline.com exclusively about the beginning of the eventful evening. “At first he approached our table and there was a history of ‘bad blood’ between him and Brody so we asked security to tell him to leave us alone after he was starting a ‘drama’."
“Later in the evening I was standing at the bar alongside Jayde and Brody when Joe Francis approached me and pushed his body toward me and forcefully made me kiss him on the face."
Francis has claimed that he is the victim in the melee at The Guys And Dolls nightclub, which resulted in Jenner punching him outside. But Wilson - who lived with Francis for a year – believes he is at fault for the incident that is still being probed by the police.
“As I tried to get away from him Jayde intervened and (Francis) grabbed her hair and she fell backwards. I’m not sure if a drink was poured over him though. The next thing a whole bunch of people surrounded us and I couldn’t see any actual physical attacks."
Francis and Wilson had been staying at his Bel Air mansion and split-up around two months ago but remained friends. Around a week before the August 28 incident, the pair went for sushi along with one of Wilson’s female friends. At that point, she told Francis that she didn’t want to start dating him again.
“In the time I was with Joe he was never violent towards me but I had never seen him act in this way before...he did not act in a calm or rational fashion,“ she continued. "Joe texted me yesterday saying that I was banned from various clubs and restaurants in town but I at this point just want him to leave me alone.
“I’ve started dating somebody new now and I won’t ever be getting back together with Joe ever again.”
After the incident Wilson answered a few questions for police and recently paid a visit to Jenner and Nicole, whose left cheek is still slightly swollen.
Wilson said: “They are both still angry about what happened because the whole situation got totally ‘out of hand’.”
