Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis claims Mexican cops are going after ex-wife for stealing $350K

An arrest warrant has been issued for the ex-girlfriend of Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis.

The porn producer accused ex Abbey Wilson, 33, of stealing $350,000 from a company he’s connected to.

An arrest warrant, written in Spanish, states that Wilson is wanted for an abuse of trust was against Birchfield LLC, in Mexico. It’s not clear what the company does and Francis declined to say is he was an owner. 

DailyMail.com has reached out to Wilson’s lawyer for comment. 

He claims that her arrest is imminent and it will mean that he if finally reunited with his twin seven year old girls, Athena and Alexandria, after Francis claimed in December that Wilson had kidnapped them.

Francis told media he was supposed to see his girls for Christmas but his ex had gone ‘off the grid.’ 

The former couple have both accused each other of domestic abuse.

Francis claims, without evidence, that Wilson became hooked on fentanyl and he believes that she’s hiding in the Mexican interior with her Narco trafficker boyfriend the two girls. 

‘At the height of the non-vaccinated part of the pandemic she was heavy into using of these drugs,’ he said in an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com.

‘I had given her access, as anyone would, to a couple of my bank accounts and she was able to transfer large sums of money out of Mexico to America, to her US bank accounts.’

Francis built a resort in Mexico called Casa Amara where he lives in exile because of an active warrant for his arrest in the US, according to the Wall Street Journal. He met Wilson during a ‘Hottest Girls in America’ competition in 1997 and settled down south of the border.   

‘She’s getting charged with stealing the money from me as well as the kidnapping and the abuse of minors,’ he claimed.

However, the warrant, which is in Spanish, does not mention an amount of money, nor does mention the children or kidnapping.

He says that this is part of a pattern of erratic behavior by his ex tied to her drug use. 

‘On July 31, 2020, during the pandemic, Abbey got hooked on needles and injecting opiates of which she could get a lot of in Mexico,’ he said.

About that time Francis was charged with domestic violence for allegedly spitting on her, hitting her and dragging her around his beach front home by her hair in front of the children.

He claims that she made the whole thing up and bribed Mexican authorities to charge him with a crime.

‘All of the sudden she made up some fake domestic violence thing, then she paid a prosecutor named ‘Karen’ 100,000 pesos,’ he said, to have him arrested and charged.

‘It’s backed up by nothing,’ Francis said. ‘You can talk to my staff. I’ll pay you a million dollars if you can get one of them to say I’ve ever yelled at her. I just don’t do that.’

Francis was arrested in August on domestic violence charges, made sure to tag the Casa Aramara resort that he built in the beach town of Punta de Mita, Mexico, near Puerto Vallarta.

He was held in custody for several weeks and went through court ordered therapy and his case was eventually dropped.

Wilson’s lawyer Ronald Richards previously told DailyMail.com that Francis has been ‘physically and verbally abusive’ and the mother has ‘full, temporary custody.’

Richards also provided records of the court case.

Wilson has also said that Francis has paid minimal child support after their separation. 

‘I don’t like domestic violence as part of my house,’ Francis said.

He said as a result of the charges he’s only seen his kids nine days in the last two years. During Christmas, he accused her of parental kidnapping when they did not show up to his house for the holidays.

‘I have joint custody of my children,’ he said. ‘They should be allowed to see their father, but instead she’s crazy.’

‘This is beyond a custody battle,’ he said. ‘This is a crime. This is a real crime.’

Francis said that her Narco-trafficker boyfriend had his lawyer kidnapped for three days and zapped him with a Taser on his genitalia to torture him.

Francis compared himself to Liam Neeson in the move ‘Taken’ about a retired special forces agent who must track down his daughter’s kidnappers.

He said he’s tried to help his ex, but he feels that her addiction has taken control of her.

‘I’ve tried to get her to go to therapy sessions and then the therapists are like, there’s nothing I can do,’ he said.

While he’s been trying to resolved the custody issue with his former squeeze, he’s been able to host several celebrity guests, like Kim Kardashian, who drops by the resort he built in on the Pacific coast of Mexico with his soft core porn money.

For now, Francis is beside himself with worry that the girls are not injured when authorities kick down his ex’s door.

‘I really hope that my daughters are recovered as quickly as possible and that the operation peaceful,’ he said. ‘And that she goes calmly. There are 50 police officers coming for her right now.’

He said that he just wants his daughters to be with him.

‘Joe Francis loves his daughters very much and misses them so much,’ he said. ‘And what their mother has done is tragic.’
