If you’re like everyone else on the planet, then you are familiar with the Girls Gone Wild franchise. You know, they have those cheesy commercials of the girls who fall all over each other that normally air between breaks of the Jerry Springer Show. Well apparently, the creator, Joe Francis got nabbed by the police for shooting some underage girls. However, Joe was not behind the camera at the time and while he sits in jail, where he has been since April, he plans to fight this conviction.
If the story were to end here it would hardly be gossip or even news, considering when it happened, but Francis talked to Page Six of the New York Post and had some things to say about Playboy mogul, Hugh Hefner. Apparently, when Hef was on Larry King Live in May he opted to not defend Francis, even stating, “I am not a fan because I think it’s exploitative and I don’t think he’s a very nice guy.”
When Hugh was asked if there is a difference between the two businesses (Playboy and Girls Gone Wild), Hef said, “I don’t see any parallels. What sets the magazine apart is it really is a lifestyle publication, you know, with good fiction and good articles. It doesn’t have much to do with what he’s doing.”
Meanwhile, from his Washoe County Jail cell in Reno, Joe Francis had this to say about Hefner, “Hugh Hefner was arrested in 1963 for a similar offense and pursued by law enforcement for decades. It’s sad how quickly he forgets.”
Francis is awaiting trial where he could face up to 40 years for a combination of charges, all of which are felonies. The charges include possession of contraband (sleeping pills), tax evasion, and using underage girls in a sexual performance.
