Joe Francis Isnt Ever Going to Learn
 

WWW- We haven't seen the last of Ashley Dupre just yet. Joe Francis and the "Girls Gone Wild" franchise will feature the call girl that was at the center of the Eliot Spitzer scandal in a sex tape that will now be released. Francis announced on Monday that he will release the provocative video footage of Ashley Dupré taken during Spring Break in 2003.

Ashley Dupre Sex Tape Online: Released by Girls Gone Wild, Joe Francis

"She clearly filed her lawsuit just for publicity," Francis said in a press release. "Now that the distraction of this frivolous lawsuit is behind us and I have been vindicated, yet again, we’ve been given the green light to provide her with all the public exposure she could ask for." Hiow much will we see of Ashley Alexandra Dupre?

***

She shot to pop culture stardom for about fifteen minutes when she linked to former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer. She had filed a lawsuit against GGW and Francis but just recently she dropped her $10 million lawsuit after Francis released a video where Dupré appears covered by a terry cloth towel and gives her name as Amber Arpaio. An unseen GGW questioner asks if she is 18 and if the footage can be used on "Girls Gone Wild." She says yes to both questions. Her ID is then filmed.

The suit had alleged that Girls Gone Wild and Joe Francis had ruined Dupré reputation by publicizing the video. Francis released footage proving that Dupré had willingly volunteered to perform for the Girls Gone Wild cameras after providing both a verbal and written release. Because Dupré had offered false identification and lied about her age on camera, the company initially declined to publish the material. The release notes that "Girls Gone Wild CEO Joe Francis to Immediately Release Dupré Sex Video Footage". It should be online at the website soon.

This is one of those cases where the 2257 inspectors should pay a special visit to Joe's offices and put this one under the microscope.

She either lied about her age or she didn't and since he is planning on selling the video, I would have to guess she didn't. He's made some stupid mistakes lately but surely he's smart enough to run this one by his attorneys first, right?

*cough*

How can he release it if she was underage at the time?

Re: Joe Francis Isnt Ever Going to Learn
 

Same way he thought he could not pay taxes on all that cash by having it in banks overseas.

Legal issues are the last concern of the unethical.

It sounds like a publicity stunt...all eyes on GGW.
I am sure they will find some loop hole.

Re: Joe Francis Isnt Ever Going to Learn
 

For some, legal issues are a "price of doing business". Now that the lawsuit has gone away, there is only the feds and their 2257 stuff to deal with. The risk / reward ratio (in Joe's head) shifted dramatically, especially if the girl has agreed to support them if challenged.

He might think the legal bill is worth the publicity. Advertising is not cheap.

nope it is not...i guess he is a little sour about the whole thing
