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.”
