Brody Jenner told TMZ.com, which first reported the fight, that he and Nicole were celebrating his 26th birthday at Guys & Dolls when they noticed Joe Francis “unrelentingly” hitting on one of Francis’ ex-girlfriends.

Jayde Nicole, 23, thought Francis, 36, was harassing the woman, who is a friend of hers, so she threw a drink on him.

Brody Jenner posted on his Twitter that Joe Francis then “pulled [Nicole] to the ground, punched and kicked her.”

Brody later tweeted: “Joe Francis beat up my lady this morning for no reason! Pulled her to the ground, punched & kicked her..what does that say about him. How can you call yourself a man when you beat up a girl?? Joe Francis is a piece of sh*t. Joe Francis needs to be in jail!!!”

Brody told TMZ that he followed Francis out of the club and punched him in the face. Then Jenner was then struck with a taser gun, but was unsure by whom. Security broke up the fight between Jenner and Francis and police were called.

Jayde Nicole says she plans to press charges against Joe Francis. Jayde says she has a bruised cheek, swollen face, bruised left rib and sore lower abdomen. Nicole also says some of her hair was pulled out in the fight.
