Kardashian friend Joe Francis looks disheveled & deranged in handcuffs after his arrest for ‘dragging & choking his ex’

KARDASHIAN family friend Joe Francis looked deranged and disheveled after his arrest for allegedly dragging and choking his ex-girlfriend and children's mother, Abbey Wilson.  

In photos exclusively obtained by The Sun, the Girls Gone Wild founder’s hands were cuffed while he was seated in the back of a police pickup truck after his arrest for domestic violence in August 2020.  

The 48-year-old's complexion appeared ruddy and his veins were visibly bulging from his forehead as he sat with officers surrounding him. 

Joe- the owner of the Mexican celebrity getaway Casa Aramara - was wearing flip flops, shorts and a tee-shirt as he sulked in the back of the pickup at the local police station. 

In another photo, Joe pulled down his face mask and was leaning forward as he appeared to speak to officers who were standing nearby. 

While Joe was in the back of the truck, there were four heavily armed officers surrounding him and at least four other police officials standing nearby.  

In another jarring photo, Joe can be seen behind bars in flip flops while speaking on a cell phone. 

The Sun has reached out to Joe for comment about the disturbing new photos. 

WARNING: DISTURBING DETAILS BELOW 

The Sun first broke the news of Joe’s arrest and subsequent incarceration in a Mexican jail over the horrific alleged assault on the 33-year-old mother of his twin daughters. 

Court papers revealed that Abbey claimed he tested positive for Covid the day before his August 1, 2020 arrest. 

Joe allegedly asked Abbey to inject him with vitamins. When she refused to get too close to him, the situation apparently escalated.  

The Mexican documents, translated to English, stated: "He began to scream at her that she was an 'evil b***h' and he hopes she rots, and called her a 'w***e.' 

"She hid in the closet and, closed the door. He began to shake the door. 

"She opened it and ran into another bedroom in fear. He told her he was kicking her out. 

"He grabbed her right arm, turned her toward him, grabbed her by the neck, and then spit in her face.   

"He said she doesn’t care about him, and now she’ll care because she’s infected [with Covid] as well." 

She claimed Joe then grabbed her by the hair and pushed her to the floor.   

He then allegedly stepped on her head, and put all of his weight on her body.   

The documents continued: "He then put his hands around her neck and spit on her face again, and then told her to leave the house.   

"They both got up, and he grabbed her by the hair again. He threw her on the floor and dragged her down the hallway. 

"While he was pulling her, he was shaking her hair and making her head hit the floor." 

According to the court papers, she sustained injuries that took over two weeks to heal, and required special medical treatment. 

Joe was taken Joe was taken into custody on August 13, and he was released 73 days later, after the mother of his daughters allegedly "issued her forgiveness."  

Joe looked serious as he posed for his mugshot. 

The charges were dropped on the condition that Joe attend six months of psychological therapy, which law enforcement claimed he has completed.  

NASTY CUSTODY BATTLE

Abbey filed for full custody of their girls on June 7 of this year, and was granted emergency custody as well as a temporary restraining order for her and the girls against Joe.  

In the filing that was exclusively obtained by The Sun, Abbey had also accused Joe of abusing meth, cocaine and painkillers, in addition to other allegations of physical abuse.  

The Girls Gone Wild founder was previously arrested in an incident involving two other women in 2011.  

Joe was charged with three counts of false imprisonment, one count of assault causing great bodily injury and one count of dissuading a witness. 

During that altercation, Joe allegedly attacked one of the women and bashed her head onto his tile floor. 

Joe was sentenced to 270 days in jail following that arrest. 

Joe’s home in Punta Mita was an exclusive private property that often catered to the rich and famous as a luxury destination in Mexico.  

It was a favorite spot for Kim Kardashian, her sisters Kourtney, Khloe, Kylie and other family members, as well as other A-listers.   

In mid-June, the home known as Casa Aramara caught fire and suffered substantial damage.  The fire is currently under investigation.

He first became famous for creating the Girls Gone Wild franchise, and moved to Mexico following a bankruptcy case and trouble with the IRS in 2013.
