Florida Girl Drops Lawsuit Against Girls Gone Wild

On the heels of Ashley Dupre's attempt at baselessly suing Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis and later dropping the lawsuit without receiving any money, an Alabama woman has also dropped her own frivolous lawsuit against Francis and Girls Gone Wild without getting a dime. Brittany Pitts dismissed her lawsuit today in a move that vindicated Joe Francis and Girls Gone Wild (GGW) from false allegations. Pitts had claimed in her lawsuit that she did not consent to any use of her likeness or image in Girls Gone Wild. The GGW video clearly showed Pitts consenting to the filming. The video also shows Pitts friends verifying to a GGW camera operator their ages as 18 years old and fully consenting on camera to the GGW filming.

Pitts filed her lawsuit in Panama City, Florida, in the same court, in front of the same “Settle or Jail” judge who put Girls Gone Wild CEO Joe Francis in jail for 11 months when Francis refused to settle a civil lawsuit brought by the judge's ex-law partner.

Pitts sued Joe Francis personally, even though Mr. Francis was not even in the state of Florida when the filming took place. The video of Pitts appearance in GGW clearly disproved her allegations.

“This is yet another example of false allegations that my company and I have faced,” said Francis. “I am tired of these lies being said about me in an attempt to extort money and destroy my name. I will fight back, and will defend myself against every one of these groundless accusations. I am ready to sue any individual or lawyer who brings unsubstantiated allegations against me.”

Francis paid absolutely no money to Pitts, but agreed not to sue her, if she issued a public apology. The following public statement was immediately issued by Pitts.

“I, Brittany Pitts have agreed to dismiss my lawsuit and acknowledge that no money has been paid to me by the defendants as damages.”
