Francis Calls B.S. on Girls Gone Litigious Claims

A pair of Florida women who are suing Joe Francis and "Girls Gone Wild"-- claiming they never gave their consent to have their sexcapades released to the public -- now have their stories cast into serious doubt by the video evidence.



TMZ has obtained original footage of plaintiffs Christina Brose and Brooke Patsolic, showing that they clearly agree to let producers use the saucy stuff they'd just filmed on the "GGW" bus. "You have my full permission to put this on anything, I don't care," says Brose, who also gives her full name and age on tape. Brose's pal, Brooke, also gives her on-camera consent, even pointing out the presence of cops on scene.

But wait, there's more! While on board the "GGW" cruiser, Brooke seems to have every awareness of what's going on, exclaiming, "Tomorrow, we're going to be like, 'What the f*** were we doing?'" Of course, this is just before she lets her four gal pals -- including Christina -- paint her with whipped cream lines and lick 'em off.

Brose and Patsolic's lawsuit, filed in federal court in Florida in June, says that they "specifically did not consent to any use of their likeness or image." But even their suit appears to backtrack, claiming, "Alternatively, to the extent that any consent was ever given, such consent was obtained through unlawful means and through the provision of alcohol to uderaged persons, through coercion and under false pretenses."

"Girls Gone Wild" says that the women's claims "couldn't be further from the truth" and says that it has "a strict compliance procedure" to get consent. Christopher Hill, the plaintiffs' attorney, didn't return a phone call seeking comment.

62. Trying to imply that these "women" weren't coherent enough to be legally accountable for their actions is completely and absurdely ridiculous. Try that rationale with a judge, "I was too drunk to know what I was doing when I ran those people down", or "I was too drunk to remember raping that girl". These gals already showed their "quality" by the performances they gave (whether on camera, or not, is incidental). Their "claims" are nothing more than another "performance". Look to the parents of these gals for the reasons why they have little-to-no morals.

63. Wow I thought they would be wasted or at least tipsy and its obvious they are sober enough to know what they were doing. MB - Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I have seen MANY a non looker on those girls gone wild commercials.

BINGO!

I tip my hat. You hit the nail on the head. *applauds*

65. Yes joe francis is a slimeball. But so are the girls in his videos. Yes he goes to clubs and offers girls liquor but hey, if he didnt give them liquor to get drunk they would probably be getting drunk out of their pocket, or some horny dude would buy them drinks. As one of the posters said before these two ho's saw all the litigation aimed at Joe and wanted a piece of the action. What the little fools dont realize is that you actually have to have a case and win it to get the money, and this involes telling the truth and actually deserving compensation.

66. 32. I wonder how many of Francis's supporters on here are being paid to say such stupid things.

Capitalism indeed. Capitalism is the reason this country is going to hell in a handbasket. Selfish greedy pigs exploiting their fellow humans for cash. Sad.

33. What a misogynist society we live in, when exploitation/harassment/rape is written off as "justified" if a woman is a "whore".

First, to reply to your #32 quoted post... what's sad is your failure to realize it's capitalism and a republic of American citizens that are fortunate enough to live in a free country where "FREE ENTERPRISE" has done great service to the nation AND the world. Thanks to our wealth we're able to live much better lives and have in reach a wealth of opportunities to educate ourselves.

Ever hear of buyer beware?

Secondly, to your #33 quoted post..... this is not a case of "rape" or of a "misogynist society". This is however a case of girls left to go wild and regretting their poor decision making in a pathetic attempt to garner cheap attention.

Rape is a violent act of anger. Please learn more about the facts of violent sexual crimes before condescending any false intelligence on this case. You fail in spades.

67. I am sorry but any girl that is capable of dancing on a bar with her pants pulled halfway down without falling off, is clearly not that wasted! Unless of course she has had some practice and this wasn't the first time her and her friends went out acting like total whores...But what are the chances of that? Right?

68. Working in the legal field for years, it's obvious to me that the hos' attorney had the wrong allegations....instead of suing on the "no permission"... they should've alleged breach of contract for non-payment of residuals!.......that's if there were any!

69. I find it a shame that there are so many young women willing to make that sleeze bag Joe francis any richer than he already is. It is obvious even in the so called commercials that most of the girls are loaded one way or another. Mr. Sandman may not think he is a criminal but I sure think he has. Sadly, it is a done deal for the 2 young women..they are on film and there isn't much they will be able to do about it. It will have to be a lesson learned. It is forever and will come back to bite their butts some day. It would be wonderful to see Joe Francis put out of business forever...he is a slime ball and a pimp. Hopefully his reign of sleezy dvd's will come to an end. And it is so sad to read that these young women do this for a tee shirt or hat? Ye gods, what have they come to?

70. I don't agree with the exploitation, but I think that Joe deserves his freedom and these girls need to know that lying in a court of law is wrong. Let those girls pay a hefty fine and go on with it.

71. Please. When I was 18 I was 'wasted' quite often. I was even approched by GGW in Cancun. I was high and drunk and dirty dancing and still said hell no! I never slept with anyone because I was so drunk I 'didn't know what I was doing'. You always know what you are doing. They even said so! Joe is not at fault here, it's whoever gave these girls such low self esteem that they have to act slutty to prove that they're hot.

72. MBJ... you couldn't have said it any better. Obviously you are a smart person who doesn't just use BIG words to sound intelligent.

73. Joe F is not really to blame here, some of you may think that he does but that is not the case!! You may call him a "slime ball" and yeah he probably is whatever, but Joe is a BUSINESSMAN who saw an OPPORTUNITY to get RICH and SEIZED it!! It's all about CAPITALISM.

As for the girls well Joe is likely to have got the idea after seeing said slutty girls showing them selfs off so shamelessly to every fat mike and jim who happened to pass their way because they thought that it was "hot", "KEWL" , "what guys want" or their ticket to "15 mins of fame".

Well as one previous comment stated guys DO NOT LIKE SLUTS/WHORES, for guys they are mearly the ones we wanted to bang in high school, to look cool. Then we left them for better women who could actually count. They all claim they are looking for love with a rich man but men want classy women, women which have not been infected with every STD known to man. So ladies if you want to be taken seriously by men by all means be SEXY, but don't be slutty there is a big BIG difference! Thank you.
