Crying like a bitch in court Joe Francis learned he will serve 35 days in jail.
Blowing his nose and wiping away tears, the multimillionaire founder of the “Girls Gone Wild” video empire pleaded guilty to contempt of court Monday and was sentenced to 35 days in jail.Joe Francis, who was sued by seven women who were minors when filmed, apologized to the judge for yelling at the plaintiffs during settlement talks.
“I am sorry for my behavior. It was wrong. I had heard about appeals and things and I was confused. I am sorry, I really am,” said Francis, 34.
Francis drew the contempt charge during negotiations to settle the federal lawsuit brought after his production company filmed the women at Panama City Beach in 2003.
This guy filmed 7 underage kids, and only got 35 days in jail. That’s amazing, i hate to see the harsh punishment Joe would get if some bodies were found buried in his yard. 40 days in jail probably, sucks to be rich and famous.
