Los Angeles- Girls Gone Wild honcho Joe Francis and Brody Jenner were involved in a bar brawl at a Los Angeles club Wednesday evening.

Sources tells Usmagazine.com that the argument broke out at the hot spot My House after Francis accidentally hit Brody’s girlfriend, model Jayde Nicole, in the head.

“Francis reached out to grab Brody and ended up hitting Jayde in the head,” one source says. “Brody defended her, and it turned into a massive fight.”

Adds another, “Security dragged Francis out. Joe hit Jayde and was making death threats against Brody. Brody filed a police report.”

In an exclusive statement, Francis tells Usmagazine.com: “I went to give Brody a hug, and I guess my elbow accidentally bumped the back of his girlfriend’s head. I didn’t even know that happened until this morning. I was shocked.”

“Brody and I are longtime friends,” Francis goes on. “I think he was a little drunk, and he started yelling at me, but it’s all okay. He was angry. Brody’s girlfriend is the type of girl that gets off creating drama. She was winding him up. There was no physical altercation. I would never threaten to beat him up and I would never get in a fight. The whole thing was 20 seconds.”

Francis also denies that security kicked him out of the club.
