Brody Jenner's girlfriend Jayde Nicole is suing Joe Francis for $1 million over the she-said, sleaze-said nightclub brawl in Hollywood last month.

Jayde and Brody claim that Joe roughed up Jayde outside Guys & Dolls after she poured a drink on him. Joe denies he attacked the Playboy model.

Nicole doused Joe in booze supposedly to discourage him from getting too close with her friend Abbey Wilson, who also happens to be Francis' ex.

Francis maintains he may have "accidentally grabbed" Jayde Nicole's hair out of surprise when she tossed her drink at him, but that this was the extent of physical contact he had, while Jenner just started wailing on him for no reason.

Joe has threatened to sue Brody Jenner for defamation. Ha.

But from Jayde Nicole's perspective, as stated in the suit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, here's what went down with the Girls Gone Wild honcho:

"In an intoxicated, uncontrollable rage, defendant Francis physically attacked plaintiff Nicole by pulling on her hair from behind to gain maximum control over her, then violently shoving and/or throwing her to the ground like a rag-doll."

Ouch.

Who's telling the truth? Who's a complete scumbag?

The model wants $1 million, plus punitive damages, to compensate her for a range of injuries, including a "black-eye, swollen face, bruised ribs, sore and bruised abdomen, bruised arms and legs, ripped-out hair, emotional distress and humiliation."

Taking time out from planning the bachelor party of Lamar Odom, who's set to marry Khloe Kardashian this weekend, Francis released this statement:

"Jayde Nicole is an absolute and total liar."

"Her prior statements about the incident are not only slanderous and defamatory, but actionable... The only thing that Jayde Nicole is famous for is having a tattoo of the word 'respect' above her vagina... for which we all know she has none of."

Guy can never resist a good dig. Reports say surveillance video may actually back up Francis' account of what happened that night, but stay tuned.

Whose side are you on?

Jayde Nicole, Playmate of the Year 2008 and girlfriend of Brody Jenner, is sticking by her side of the story regarding what went down at a club last week.

The 23-year-old Canadian model says she "beaten in the face and body" by Girls Gone Wild head honcho Joe Francis and there are witnesses to prove it.

The melee started because Francis was hitting on an ex, a girl Jayde is apparently friends with. Nicole wanted him to back off and threw a drink on him.

Francis denies assaulting her and says the only physical contact during the brawl was initiated by Jenner and Nicole. But the latter takes exception to that.

Jayde Nicole's rep just released this statement:

"On Friday, August 28 at 1:20 a.m., Jayde Nicole was the victim of a violent assault when she was attacked from behind, thrown to the ground by her hair, and beaten in the face and body in front of witnesses by a person identified as Joe Francis."

SHE SAID, SLEAZE SAID: Who do you trust less here?

"Jayde immediately reported the assault to the local authorities and is continuing to cooperate fully in the ongoing police investigation of Mr. Francis."

"Because of the ongoing criminal investigation of Mr. Francis, it will be inappropriate to comment further at this time out of respect for the process."

"Photos, videos and hospital records of Jayde's injuries and of the attack corroborate the crimes committed by Francis, and it is the hope of those who love and care about Jayde Nicole that he will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."

It's an interesting claim, as Francis also says that video and eyewitness accounts will support his side. Then again, he's Joe Francis. Can you really believe a man who gets teenage girls drunk and makes them take off their tops for money?
