Girls Gone Wild honcho Joe Francis beats the crap out of Playmate of The Year Jayde Nicole

Apparently, spending a few months in jail getting acquainted in the dark with inmates gone wild has left Joe Francis feeling a bit sore and anxious to defend his manhood. So his strategy is to throw as many punches as possible before he ends up back in the slammer being reclaimed as lost and found by his skinhead boyfriends…even if the punches are aimed at extremely hot playmates.

According to Brody Jenner, he and his girlfriend, Jayde Nicole, were at Guys and Dolls in L.A celebrating his birthday, when Jayde saw Francis hitting on an ex-girlfriend of his (Francis’), Jenner says “unrelentingly.” Jayde felt he was harassing the woman — whom Jayde and Brody know — and she threw a drink on Francis.

Jenner says Francis then pulled Jayde’s hair, punched her in the face and threw her to the ground and began kicking her. Security broke it up and Francis got dragged away — Brody followed.

Jenner says he started yelling at Francis and both men were thrown out of the club.

Outside the club, Jenner says he tried to get back in to see Jayde but security wouldn’t let him. Jenner then saw Joe, punched him in the face, and then someone tased him and he fell to the ground.

Francis flew from the scene shirtless. Mind you, nobody mentions tearing it off of him, so we’re just going to assume old jail habits are hard to break…

A visibly shaken Jayde showed her injuries to a TMZ cameraman, injuries that are said to include a swollen face, bruised cheek and left rib and sore lower abdomen. Some of her hair is also missing. She now tells TMZ says she plans to press charges against Francis.

Meanwhile, Brody took to Twitter this morning to avenge his girlfriend’s beating: “Joe Francis beat up my lady this morning for no reason! Pulled her to the ground, punched & kicked her..what does that say about him. How can you call yourself a man when you beat up a girl?? Joe Francis is a piece of sh*t. Joe Francis needs to be in jail!!!”
