Sharon Stone Sued By Former Nanny
Girls Gone Wild creator claims he exploited underage girls to defend First Amendment
Filed under: Gadgets, That's Entertainment
Joe Francis, the womanizing perv behind the popular Girl Gones Wild series, has been in jail since April -- when he couldn't reach a settlement with a couple 17-year-olds he filmed in the shower.
But the porn tycoon isn't going down without a fight. Francis claims that getting teenage girls drunk and filming them half-naked is his protected right under the First Amendment -- much like Hugh Hefner and Larry Flynt did when they ran into legal trouble with Playboy and Penthouse magazines.
However, Hef isn't exactly jumping to Francis' defense. In fact, the Playboy founder went so far as to call the Girls Gone Wild series "exploitative."
Hopefully this means it won't be long before a judge sentences this slimeball to a permanent stay behind bars -- and the world's parents can breathe a collective sigh of relief.

Nancy Toby said...17-year-olds = trashy sluts because someone got them drunk and filmed them? That's pretty a pretty harsh and unfair condemnation of underage girls, IMO.

Marcia said...No one can force those girls to drink and there are certainly plenty of other girls willing to do the same things so it's their own fault they got filmed and don't deserve a dang cent.
GGW is trashy anyways. I'm sure the majority of those girls regret doing that completely after they've come to their senses. It will be kind of good to get the guy out of the bars with his cameras.

rich said...Maybe those children are acting "trashy" and "slutty" because our popular culture demands for girls to act a certain way in order to get attention. Although I feel like those girls are duped into the situation, but I am not sure if they should receive any monetary reward for their actions. I think its a hard lesson to swallow, but there are lots of people like Joe Francis out there and they're looking to exploit. As the old saying goes: It takes a village to raise a child.

SKL said...Yeah, I have to say I don't understand the phrase "got them drunk." You don't "get" someone drunk. You may provide alcohol, but if a 17-year-old agrees to drink it, that's the 17-year-old's fault. She knows it's illegal. Underage drinking is not victimization - it's delinquency.
And, even if drunk, a teen knows what garments she ought to keep on.
Of course, it's also illegal to serve alcohol to minors in most situations, and the guy is a pig for encouraging the teens to act "wild" and for filming them. But the girls are not without fault.
