Wonder if he’s working on a Girls Gone Wild: Female Inmates special
Jed | December 19, 2007Almost everyone is familiar with the Girls Gone Wild videos. Joe Francis, the creator, has also been a larger than life character and even starred in his own videos. But while he was clearly a megalomaniac and probably an ass, did anyone know that he’s also been sitting in jail for the past 8 months?
This story on the NY Times describes how he’s bounced between various state penitentiaries as multiple parties have arrested and sued him for various things from tax evasion to drug running. Most of it seems to be false, but enough has been true to keep him locked up without bail for almost a year. Yikes.
It does sound a little bit like the authorities are out to get him because they don’t like his work and he’s done something or other to piss them off. But it also kind of sounds like he’s brought a lot of this on himself.
Morale of the story: be careful with those druken videos, whether you’re the one on the video or shooting the video.
