A pair of Florida women who are suing Joe Francis and "Girls Gone Wild"-- claiming they never gave their consent to have their sexcapades released to the public -- now have their stories cast into serious doubt by the video evidence. Footage of plaintiffs Christina Brose and Brooke Patsolic, showing that they clearly agree to let producers use the saucy stuff they'd just filmed on the "GGW" bus. "You have my full permission to put this on anything, I don't care," says Brose, who also gives her full name and age on tape. Brose's pal, Brooke, also gives her on-camera consent, even pointing out the presence of cops on scene. Brose and Patsolic were both over the age of 18 at the time of filming.
While on board the "GGW" cruiser, Brooke seems to have every awareness of what's going on, exclaiming, "Tomorrow, we're going to be like, 'What the f*** were we doing?'" Of course, this is just before she lets her four gal pals -- including Christina -- paint her with whipped cream lines and lick 'em off.
Brose and Patsolic's lawsuit, filed in federal court in Florida in June, says that they "specifically did not consent to any use of their likeness or image." The video of their appearances clearly disproves their allegations, and while Patsolic and Brose were filmed in Orlando, Florida, they filed their lawsuit 400 miles away in Panama City, Florida, in the same court, infront of the same "settle or jail" judge who put Girls Gone Wild's CEO, Joe Francis, in jail for not settling a similar lawsuit.
"Girls Gone Wild" says that the women's claims "couldn't be further from the truth" and says that it has "a strict compliance procedure" to get consent. "Frivolous lawsuits like this should not be allowed to take advantage of our legal system. Unfortunatley, these plantiff's press releases and trumped up allegations have no resemblance to the truth, and it's time we expose these people for what they are. A situation similar to this is what's keeping Joe Francis in jail, and its time people know the truth", said David Houston, Francis' attourney. |
