Joe Francis to Candy: Back Off!!!

Joe Francis has fired back at Candy Spelling for the open letter posted this morning on TMZ. Francis is currently in Federal custody. Spelling's letter was read to Francis this morning by phone. Francis tells TMZ he wrote the response himself.

Dear Candy:

I don't know you, I have never met you and I don't know anything about you. After reading your letter posted on the internet, my mental picture of you is of a lonely old woman living in a mansion in Holmby Hills with let's say 300 cats jumping around, some in their own feces.

I have tried to think to myself what would compel a woman such as yourself to write a letter to someone they have never met? Even worse, you are making up your mind based on headlines. I can understand you writing Paris Hilton a letter out of care because as you said in your letter, you have known her most of her life. Then again, it's sad and pathetic you had the audacity to post that letter on the internet instead of just sending it to Paris personally.

Candy, you don't know any of the facts concerning my situation. I am a hardworking, compassionate and honest person. I will prevail just as I have in the past because overcoming adversity is not only a part of the entrepreneurial experience but a part of life. You should appreciate this and know this more than anyone and I am ashamed of you for forgetting how hard it is to make it in this world and the people who would love to tear you down because you have. Sadly, it appears you have become one of those people.

Contrary to what you have said in your letter, my world has not changed. My business Girls Gone Wild is thriving and posted record sales last month. Most important, my friends and my family (I love you guys....) have stood by me. This whole situation will be over soon and I will be standing strong.

I have never played a victim but I have always been a fighter. I will ultimately prevail in the matters at hand but I am concerned that you will die a lonely and unfulfilled person playing with those cats and posting open letters to people you have never met on the internet.

Sincerely,

Joe Francis

92. this man may be my hero.
we all know these girls would be showing theie hoo hoosto anyone who wants to look. i currently attend one of the largest party schools in the nation and i'll tell you right now that before these girls even take a drink they already know they want attention and would show their boobs to get it...
it is only a certain type of girl that does that and they dont deserve any of your sorrow because... in all honesty... they were whores before they drank.

as for the tax evasion.... even better. most bad government does come out of too much government... taxes suck so i can let him slide on that.

basically if i became half of the businessman joe is in my future i would be extremely succesful. go joe and so forth.

93. Joe's letter is great. Its kind of obvious the guy has pissed off his share of people along the way, but when are people going to wake up and and realize that he's being targeted by an administration that is pandering to its base and would rather have us pay attention to their moral crusade against girls flashing their boobs than with what they are doing in Iraq and to our civil liberties? Is it just a coincidence that every agency of the federal government seems to be coming after this guy?
BTW, Candy Spelling - get a life.

94. Joe is a candy ass,i bet he cries every day,and also remember 17 days until Paris goes to jail, maybe she will skip and the Dog will track her down,She needs to visit Joe so she can see what its like behind bars,just think ,the Hiltons have a convict in the family

96. Well Joe, if you believe all you say then just kick back because you have nothing to worry about. However, last time I checked it was a crime to photograph nude minors and it is also a crime to not pay taxes. The forgoing to issues are prority crimes for the Feds. As to Candy, does she look like the "Cat in The Hat" character or is just me?

97. Francis,
why why in the world would you stereo type and involve inocent, helpless little animals, like

cats to HELP YOU PROTRAY CANDY AS A SICK, LONELY WOMAN WITH CAT FECES ALL AROUND HER.

THIS COULD STOP PEOPLE FROM ADOPTING CATS FOR FEAR OF BEING STEREO-TYPED AS SICK AND LONEY.

PLEASE LEAVE CATS OUT OF YOUR FIGHT,


Posted at 8:11PM on May 19th 2007 by Leave cats out of the middle of this fight, NOW

98. Who cares if Joe actually wrote the letter because it is an AWESOME letter. Stick it to that b*tch. You would think a person with her money and celebrity would be doing good for the world and enstead she spends her free time writing obnoxious letters. obviously she has A LOT of free time. GET A LIFE!!

99. What is Francis problem about cats?

what have cats done to Francis?

Does he hate cats?, or just cat lovers?

Francis needs to apologize to cat lovers for this terrible scenario he build up,

degradiing these lovable animals many of which are like our own family members.

Boycott Francis

Posted at 8:20PM on May 19th 2007 by Francis do you HATE cats or cat lovers?, why place them in the middle

103. Joe Francis - You are a womanizing piece of crap, you make $$ off of drunk women who would do anything to be on TV. I hope one day you have a daughter and realize what you do is disgusting.
PIG!!!!!!!

104. If candy's letter hurt you Francis it is because you know she is right and makes alot of sense and is a hell of alot richer then you, with more power and influence then you will ever have,
the truth is you are the one locked up in jail not Candy.

Candy does not need to strip anyone for a nude picture to make a buck.

Posted at 8:39PM on May 19th 2007 by Locked up and gone mad Francis?

105. Joe Francis, shut the F-up!

Entrepreanurial, my ass. You had to work real hard to film some young, dumb girls getting half naked. Playing off peoples low self esteem is not hard work.

You couldnt touch Candy, and her money, so dont even pretend you are in her league.

You would up-hold slut Paris. You want to film her and her inmates in jail? Prisoners Gone Wild.

Who are you to comment on someone you have never met (Candy)? Bit hyprocritical huh?

You are a pathetic-scumbag, who has no real talent, or moral value.
