Ashley Dupre Drops Lawsuit Against Joe Francis

Ashley Dupré, the former Spitzer hooker, has dropped her lawsuit against Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis. She filed the suit back in April, claiming GGW used her name and likeness for profit. Dupre had claimed she was tricked into giving her consent for a GGW video, but Joe had video evidence showing Ashley did in fact give her consent. Joe said:

"The filing of the lawsuit was a serious lapse of judgment on her part. I never did understand how I could possibly damage the reputation of a hooker … This isn’t the first time I’ve faced false allegations against me. But the truth invariably comes out, as I knew it would in this case. I am happy to, once again, be completely vindicated."

Ashley’s lawyer issued a statement, that said in part:

"Ms. Dupré wants to eliminate all negativity from her life and focus on the positive. She has prospects for many exciting new projects and is looking forward to starting a new chapter."

Blah blah blah. Ashley never had a case. It was all for publicity.

Ashley Dupre Gives Girls Gone Wild Her Consent - Video

Joe Francis said Ashley Dupre had given her verbal consent, and said she was 18 years-old on camera, and she in fact did. Girls Gone Wild cameras also showed her ID saying she was of legal age. Francis has said before that the law allows a 17 year-old to be filmed without clothes on as long as there is no sexual activities. Joe’s company is now distributing the video proof, but we don’t have a copy yet. Click here to see the video. (scroll down the page a little to see it)

Joe Francis Responds to Ashley Dupre Lawsuit

Joe Francis wasted no time making a statement in response to a lawsuit filed by Elliot Spitzer’s prostitute, and fame whore, Ashley Dupre:

"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."

Dupre asked for $10 million in her lawsuit, which Francis believes she will lose, but he is still offering her a deal:

"She’s seeking $10 Million for topless photos taken in front of a room full of people, including two newspapers and multiple crews we had in the room. These images were taken in public places and contain no sexual contact. We expect to triumph in this matter and continue to offer the best and hottest girls. 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."

We hope Dupre loses the lawsuit, and fades away into obscurity. Don’t be stupid Dupre, take the deal. TEAM JOE!

Ashley Dupre Sues Joe Francis

Ashley Alexandra Dupré, the prostitute that caused New York Governor Eliot Spitzer to resign, filed suit Monday against Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis and his film company. Ashley is asking for $10 million in damages. The prostitute claims that Girls Gone Wild representatives approached her while she was vacationing in Florida in 2003. Ashley also claims that representatives offered her alcohol, before inducing her to expose her breasts for cameras, and to sign a release form, even though she was 17 years old, and not of legal age to properly enter into any contract. The suit alleges that Girls Gone Wild has illegally exploited Ashley’s name, picture, voice and likeness in a number of deceptive advertising campaigns and on Web sites.

The whore for money refused an offer from Francis to legally distribute Ashley’s image, but later Francis withdrew the offer after his legal team informed him that despite Ashley’s age, she was legal since she did nothing sexual with another person. The suit itself sounds exactly like the one other girls filed against Francis, which landed him in jail. This time however, Francis made sure everything was legal before using the Ashley images and footage. Now Ashley will have to prove her claim in court, which won’t be easy since she herself committed fraud by lying about her age, and is a known prostitute. No one had to "induce" Ashley into acting like the whore she is famous for being.

Joe Francis, said in March that even if Ashley was 17, Florida and Federal law permits her to be filmed in any state of undress … as long as she consents and there is no "sexual contact." Joe says there was "no sexual contact."

Joe Francis to Give Away Hookers Gone Wild DVD

Joe Francis says he will give away a Hookers Gone Wild DVD, featuring Eliot Spitzer’s hooker (call girl) Ashley Dupre. Joe will give the DVD away for free with the new issue of his magazine. Joe said:

"We could release it on the internet. The problem with the internet, the minute we put it up there, even if we’re charging, it’s out."

Joe is right, but someone will rip the video from the DVD the minute it hits news stands, and go right to the Internet anyway.
