EXCLUSIVE: Jayde Nicole's Lawyer Says Joe Francis Lawsuit Is A Bully Tactic
Posted on Oct 27, 2009 @ 01:42PM
Responding to media reports that Joe Francis will sue Jayde Nicole and Brody Jenner over a nightclub melee, Nicole's attorney Ron Richards tells RadarOnline.com exclusively that the move is just another example of the Girls Gone Wild Founder's need for retaliation.

EXCLUSIVE: Hear The 911 Tape! Calls Made After Joe Francis Allegedly Attacked Playmate Jayde Nicole
"We will be responding with an Anti-SLAPP motion as this lawsuit is retaliation for her exercising her right to file a police report for being a victim of a crime," Richards said. "Joe Francis can try and bully her all he wants but she won't capitulate." Anti-SLAPP lawsuits attempt to protect the rights of persons who engage in protected speech and aim to shield such persons from forces who may try to intimidate them into silence.
An Eyewitness Gives An Account of the Attack
Richards says Nicole was exercising her free speech by filing a police report. Nicole claims Francis pulled her hair and knocked her to the ground while Francis claims Nicole threatened to kill him. He has also said that he was fearful for his life, claiming he saw Nicole reach for a bottle which he believed she was going to hit him with.
RadarOnline.com exclusively obtained the disturbing surveillance video from the incident at Guys & Dolls. Nicole does not reach for an object at any time during the tape.

I bet he's the type of guy who's all big and bad when it comes to putting his hands on women or picking on teenage boys. But I bet if a real man confronted him his own size he would start balling. His name should be called Joe "Baby Huey" Francis.

Jayde-Skank: Next time, you might not get off with just getting your hair pulled. If you had poured a drink on someone carrying a gun, well, we can dream......

The DA isn't going to press charges against him.

Francis is going to have to pay up big time. More importantly, I hope they throw him behind bars. This guy is a Perv exploiting young women.

If you don't want to get body slammed then don't poor your drink on someone. She deserved what she got and hopefully has learned a lesson. Not sure who taught her throw drinks but glad to see someone has taught her not to.

I'm tired of hearing about Joe Francis. Him and his sorry GGW vids can bury themselves under a rock

If you see this video you know Joe Francis is an Ass Clown and is violent and dangerous. If you look at his wikipeda page you will see he beats women and has a long criminal record. The Ass Clown is on probation right now.
