Last week, Gawker named “Girls Gone Wild” founder Joe Francis as its “Douche of the Decade.”
Francis faced some stiff competition for the dubious prize: Carrie Prejean, Bill O’Reilly and Joe Dolce, among others.
On Sunday, Francis fired off an e-mail to a vacationing Nick Denton (ccing his lawyers and Page Six editor Richard Johnson, among others) informing the Gawker founder of his intent to sue him over the dubious honor, specifically because the profile referred to Francis as a “rapist.”
