Call girl Ashley Dupre sued the bottom feeder Joe Francis, founder of "Girls Gone Wild", for $10 million claiming he exploited her image and name to advertise his shitty videos.

Ashley Alexandra Dupre, 22, contended in the lawsuit that she was only 17 and drunk when she agreed to be filmed for "Girls Gone Wild" in Miami Beach in 2003. Seventeen is too young to sign a legally binding contract. And too drunk on spring break to be filmed.

Dupre "did not understand the magnitude of her actions, nor that her image and likeness would be displayed in videos and DVDs," says the lawsuit filed by Miami attorney Richard C. Wolfe.

The lawsuit filed in federal court in Miami names as defendants "Girls Gone Wild" founder Joe Francis, two of his companies and a man purportedly involved in creation of two Internet sites that the lawsuit contends improperly use Dupre's image to sell DVDs and other products.

Francis, 35, has built a soft porn empire filming and marketing videos of young women exposing their breasts and being shown in other sexually provocative situations, often at public events such as Mardi Gras or spring break beach locales.

Dupre gained notoriety in March when it came out that she was the high-priced call girl named "Kristen" named in court documents who was hired by Spitzer for at least one tryst at a posh Washington hotel. Spitzer, known as "Client 9" in the documents, resigned as New York governor a few days after the scandal broke.

Francis made a public $1 million offer for Dupre to appear in a "Girls Gone Wild" video and go on a promotional tour, then rescinded the offer after he realized he already had footage of Dupre from 2003. Dupre's lawyer warned she was only 17 when the video was shot, not 18 as Francis claimed.

Francis said in March that Dupre spent a week on a "Girls Gone Wild" bus and made seven full-length tapes after signing release papers. He also said he bought her a bus ticket home to North Carolina.

Francis said he was surprised by the lawsuit.

"It is incomprehensible that Ms. Dupre 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," Francis said in a statement.

He said the photos were taken "in front of a room full of people, including two newspapers and multiple crews we had in the room." Francis also said he would be happy to discuss the $1 million offer with her again.

The lawsuit claims Dupre is the victim of unfair trade practices, false advertising and unauthorized use of her likeness.

Francis is no stranger to legal problems in Florida. He spent a year in jail and was released in March after pleading no contest to child abuse and prostitution charges for filming underage girls in the Panhandle beach town of Panama City. Four women who claim they were 17 or younger when filmed have filed lawsuits there against Francis.

Francis also faces federal tax evasion charges in California. Prosecutors say companies controlled by Francis claimed more than $20 million in phony deductions in 2002 and 2003 and that Francis used offshore accounts to conceal income.

Take him down. Hopefully the loser wins the lawsuit, cause the only thing lower than this hookers white cell count is Joe Francis.

Party boy Joe Francis who made millions by contributed the degradation of society is whining behind bars about the mistreatment he's receiving while serving time in an Oklahoma jail, for filming a scene with two 17 yr. old girls.

The loser that created "GIRLS Gone Wild" is revealing what went on behind bars in Panama City, FL and Oklahoma jails, which was clearly not enough because he's still speaking!!! He is claiming that the guards are not giving him toilet paper or meals, forced him to wear ankle shackles that cut his skin and made him bleed in the shower.

He's now in relative comfort in a third jail in Reno, NV, where he told Page Six, "I fear for my life if I have to go back there [Florida]. These are the same people that killed a 14-year-old boy," a reference to a February 2006 incident in which a teen died while being restrained by guards.

"These are scary people down there. If I get sent back, they will retaliate. They killed that kid . . I think I would have been dead or I'd be drooling in a cup," added Francis, who must return to the Florida jail if he posts bail in Nevada.

"They treated me like I was a terrorist," he said. "They'd put my food just out of reach and laugh with each other, 'Oh, I guess Joe wasn't hungry today.' "

He said that he "hysterically cried" and screamed in his cell but that no one cared: "They had me next to a cop killer and Herman Harmon, who shot a guy in the head with a .38 then escaped from his cell."

He also said he was "tortured" in Oklahoma's Grady County Jail, where he stayed for three weeks while being transferred to a prison in Nevada. He claims guards threatened to strap him naked to a chair for 48 hours and refused to give him a blanket.

Francis is awaiting trial in Reno for federal tax evasion. In Florida, he faces charges for using minors in a sexual performance when two girls, then 17, were videotaped by his company in 2003 in a motel shower. It was later revealed the girls lied about their age.

He was jailed for contempt in Florida, and his bail was revoked when contraband was found in his cell. He has since elected to stay in jail in Reno rather than post bail there and be sent back to custody in Florida.

Well Joe, as they say, "hindsight is 20/20", and "nothing comes for free", like sex with minors which you profited from.

I hope you make a fine example for other dudes like you and you get what you deserve!!!!!!
