Girls Gone Wild creator Joe Francis is way far from finishing his legal issues. The world famous hooker Ashlee Dupre, famous for Elliot Spitzer scandal is suing Girls Gone Wild CEO for “illegally exploited Dupré’s name, picture, voice and likeness in a number of deceptive advertising campaigns and on Web sites,” People magazine reports.
Ashlee claims that Francis’ reps approached her when she was vacationing in Florida five years ago back in 2003 when she was only 17. She claims they got her drunk, and convinced her to take her top off for the cameras.
She’s now seeking $10 million dollars in damages.
Joe Francis is still fighting charges in Florida for filming underage girls in Panama City, but he claims that all the girls he taped lied about their age.
This is Francis’ response to Dupré’s claims:
We were very surprised and in fact amazed today that Ms. Dupré filed a lawsuit against Girls Gone Wild. We have not publicly released any new video of Ms. Dupré, due to corporate policy of not using footage of individuals younger than 18. It is incomprehensible that Ms. Dupré could claim she did not give her consent to be filmed by Girls Gone Wild, when in fact we have videotape of her giving consent, while showing her identification. We did in fact offer Ashley via her New York attorney $1 Million to host and promote various Girls Gone Wild activities - She refused this offer and in fact if she’d like to reconsider, we’d be happy to discuss. She should keep in mind, it’s considerably more than the Governor of New York paid her, and our activities aren’t illegal.”
This whole Girls Gone Wild is making me sick – no, not because I’m conservative. I’m not. It just lacks style. It stinks and it sucks. Smart girls don’t hang out with Joe! Lindsay Lohan and Kim Kardashian do.
One must be far down the rung of life to be sued by Ashlee, and most probably he will lose too.
