The Joe Francis/Jayde Nicole club fight fiasco is one step closer to being a distant memory -- a judge tossed out part of Joe's lawsuit against Jayde.
The alleged altercation took place back in August. Authorities decided not to press charges, but Joe and Jayde sued each other for assault and battery.
Joe's lawsuit also alleged slander and libel -- since Jayde told our cameraguy Joe punched and kicked her.
A judge on Friday tossed out the defamation claims -- saying Joe failed to prove Jayde made her statements knowing they were false.
Though the other side -- you generally know when you get smacked.

The Simone/Kooky/Balls style of commenting here has become so annoying, I've moved on to other sites. After all, how can I love TMZ if TMZ doesn't love itself enough to disallow such trash? I'm not even mentioning the stream of ads from many commenters.
Here is an example of a few guidelines from a typical good site:
-----------------------------------
We value intelligent contributions, good grammar, and not feeding the trolls. Proper use of punctuation, capitalization and time taken in typing will earn you extra points. Ignoring any of the above will subtract considerably.
If you want to comment, show your stuff - make it a worthy addition to the thread. "Firsts!", "yays" and "nays" will be summarily ignored. See Lifehacker's Guide To Weblog Comments for suggestions on how to start.

Well yeah, you'd think if you hadn't been punched in the face or hit that saying you were was a lie - duh?! By repeating it to the media it becomes slander or defamation of character, come on Judge get your act together!!
Sorry if I've misspelt anything #1!

Finally, Joe's luck is turning! This creep needs to be stopped and I think that Jayde deserves a medal for standing up to him!
