Joe Francis says he did not punch or kick
Brody Jenner's girlfriend last night at an L.A. club -- and he says security footage of the incident backs up his story.
Joe tells us he was hanging out with the General Manager for Guys and Dolls when
Jayde Nicole pushed him from behind and poured a drink on him.
Joe says he turned around and pulled her hair in reaction to the attack. Francis says this is the only contact he made with Jayde or Brody the entire time ... and security footage from inside the club shows exactly this.
