Let’s Get Joe Francis Back in Jail!!!

Okay.

So. You guys know I don’t like Joe Francis. That much should be clear by now. And I’m thrilled that there is yet another lawsuit pending against him. It was filed last week and, in it, four new women claim that they were 17, 16, 15 and 13 when his company solicited them to participate in sexually provocative videos in 2003 and earlier. They want money from Joey.

But follow me closely here:

The girls are represented by a lawyer named Ross McCloy. Ross McCloy was once the law partner of a man named Richard Smoak, who is now a judge in Florida, and who presided over the earlier, separate Florida trial where women claimed Francis tried to film them underage. In that case, the women were also represented by McCloy. It was also the case where the judge (Smoak) actually jailed Joe Francis for making threats during a deposition.

Do you follow so far? If not, read it again. It’s going to get more complicated.

It turns out that Joe’s company, Girls Gone Wild, once met with a consulting firm about working to get Judge Smoak impeached and removed from office. Lord only knows why.

So basically, Joe’s like, “Dude, this guy can’t preside over my trial, he’s totally biased, for a thousand reasons, but most applicably because the defendants are represented by his former law partner.” Except Joe said it like this: “This is America and we are not going to let that happen again. We are not going to let them put me in jail for a civil suit.”

Anyway.

I hate Joe Francis. So, so much. And I’m going to say this once, and probably only once: He’s right about this one. This is bullshit, and the judge should recuse himself.

  • What’s even nicer is that a 13 year olds parents had no clue where their kid was and now they want to sue. Try taking some responsibility mom and dad! Oh, wait, lawsuit money will fix your lack of parenting.

    And yes, while he is a sleaze, he’s right about this. Uh, I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

  • I definitely agree with Beet and d. Although Joe Francis is a giant assclown, he definitely has a point. And as far as the slutty underage chicks go, how are the GGW people supposed to know that these chicks are under age? They show fake i.d.’s and sign a waiver. They are LYING to them to get a little camera action and get their 15 minutes. And we think Joe Francis is sleazy? I think this judge and this McCloy character are the real douchbags. What if these assholes were presiding over YOUR case and you were innocent? You’d be fucked because they have their own agenda and you’d be on your way to a “pound me in the ass” prison… Good luck, Mr. Francis, you jerk… you smart, smart, rich fucking jerk!

  • Joe is a pimp EB sounds like she’s mad he never asked her to get on the GGW’s tour bus.

  • Do you think Joe Francis is a tool? Do you think GGW was degrading? If so this might be the casting call for you!
    Do you despise any celebrities and want to rant about it? Do you love any celebrities so much you could be called a celeb stalker? You will be paid $250 for this hidden camera show. You must be 18 years or older and live in Southern California.
    Find a team of two…your co-worker, your sibling, your friend, or family member. You could be the next Dynamic Duo!
