JOE FRANCIS: ‘SHE STARTED BEATING ME’

Joe Francis claimed that Paris Hilton “started beating” him up when he tried to break up with her in 2003. He went on to say it was because she was drunk – on an episode of Behind the Velvet Rope with David Yontef podcast, on Wednesday 12 January.

“I swear to God, I had to call the security of [the hotel], and then she started beating me, because she was drunk,” he said. 

“And then, I had Nicky [Hilton] staying in my room and Nicole Richie staying in my room. And I’m like, ‘Look Nicky, I’m going to kick your sister out of the room right now. And if she hits me again, I’m calling the security. I’m going to have my security take her out,” he continued.

JOE FRANCIS ON PARIS HILTON: ‘CRAZIEST WOMAN I’VE EVER DATED’

Francis also claimed that the socialite “hit him again” which led to security being called into the hallway. The security allegedly escorted her out but Paris allegedly found her way back to his suites and was “beating down the door all night.”

“That’s the craziest woman I’ve ever dated, ever,” he continued.

“She’s out of her mind. A hundred percent out of her mind. When I broke up with Paris Hilton, she told me that I couldn’t break up with her because she was Paris Hilton,” he continued. 

Francis also said that he thinks Paris’s marriage to Carter Reum would not last. Paris married Reum on 11 November at her late grandfather’s &60 (R922) million California estate.

“No way in hell,” he said. 

However, a source close to Paris denies that these events took place.

“Not true. It’s actually quite the opposite,” said a source to Page Six.
