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.

46. I have no sympathy for these girls whatsoever!

Francis is a slimeball, no doubt about it but having a sleazy yet legitimate business means he's got to always dot the I's and cross the T's to remain legal. He did.

Just because these girls are sober and regret acting like trash doesn't give them the right to cry foul because they're embarrassed. They should have thought about that before they started acting like bimbo's.

Too little, too late girls. Regret's a bitter pill.

47. With the exception of Queen Elizabeth, Jamie, and Thomas, the comments here make me want to throw up! What a bunch of classless idiots. Joe Francis is a sleazy, disgusting pig, no question about it. I would like to know how many of you posters (if indeed any of you are even over the age of 12) that are judging these girls so harshly have never made a mistake or done something that you were later ashamed of, especially after drinking. Capitalism has nothing to do with any of this, and if Joe was as intelligent as LayerCake has indicated, he wouldn't have cheated on his taxes when he already had millions of dollars!

BTW, LayerCake, for someone criticizing other people's grammar, half of your post doesn't even make any sense. Overuse of semicolons and quotation marks does not make you an excellent writer...

48. Just like the title, "Mr.," or, "Dr.," Joe Francis should be called, "Pimp" Joe Francis. Having said that, these girls, drunk or not at the time, have this lawsuit coming out their azzez. They gave their consent. The lawsuit should be thrown out.

49. My take. I am fully aware of every action I do when I am drunk so these girls knew what they were doing and the case should be dropped

52. If I would have appeared in a GGW video, my Father would have whipped my ass! When are we going to go back to basic manners and good judgement by teaching girls that you get much better attention by acting like a lady. We make stupidity acceptable by not taking responsibility for our actions.

53. all of you closet porn lovers stop talking your dumb sh$% your just jealous that you weren't the one to come up with the ingenious idea of filming dumb drunk chicks and became a multimillionare like Joe...... I'm a girl in my 20's and i know VERY well how dumb girls can be but and i'm not saying that drunk chicks at times are not taken advantage of BUT if your talking and are awake and can stand up then you know what your doing!

54. These lackwit whores are simply upholding the time-honored tradition of trying to soak the rich guy for as much as they can get. It goes without saying that Joe Francis' scandalously exciting and sleazy business has but two rules: 1) Film drunken, public exhibitionist little tramps flashing the goods, and 2) get their consent to use the video, whether written or on video.

It's just that simple. Get free footage of hoochies doing their thing, dupe it a million times and sell the tapes....it's how he got to be a millionaire...and always getting consent is how he's stayed out of court and jail.

55. Let Joe out of jail already. The trash bag girls know exactly what they are doing they are just trying to save face because their parents are mortified at their behavior and they want to pretend like their precious daughters were forced into this..... I didn't see any guns to there heads and they gave consent on camera.

56. What a bunch of stupid tricks. Someone tell these h*s to shut up.

58. That's how it works in law suits. Complaints are worthless anyway, you just use them to get your claim into court. The court doesn't look at them for evidence, just to make sure that in court if you ask for something, that you intially asked for it in your complaint, or they'll be like NO!

59. Hey girls don't blame Joe beause you are nasty little freaks. Next stop for you girls is the pole. If young men can be of age to die for our country, y'all are of age to make your own decisions and accept the consequences.

If it wasn't for your lawsuit I would have never seen this but now its on TMZ and the whole world is going to see it, not just GGW followers!

60. I used to see girls act like that when WE were all drunk. I told them to get a grip that'tsno way to act and they laughed. The next morning they were crying and I laughed.

What they really needed was an anti-stupid pill.
