Joe Francis is accusing ex-girlfriend Abbey Wilson of kidnapping their two young daughters in Mexico, according to a new report.
The “Girls Gone Wild” founder, 48, told TMZ Wednesday that he was supposed to see his 7-year-old twins, Athena and Alexandria, on Christmas, but the girls and their mother have “fallen off the grid.”
According to court documents obtained by the outlet, Wilson, 33, is also accused of family violence and authorities have tried to serve her with papers, but she allegedly hasn’t been living at her listed residence for at least six months.
Anonymous sources also claimed to TMZ that Wilson is being charged with kidnapping.
However, Page Six was unable to independently confirm the contents of the lawsuit or the alleged charges.
Francis also claimed in the docs that his kids have not been located for 10 days, TMZ reports, though Wilson posted a cheerful photo of one of their girls leaping happily on a beach just two days ago.
“Merry Christmas,” the model captioned the pic, which was snapped at sunset.
A confused follower wrote in the comments, “Hmm warrants, amber alert, yet posting on Instagram …… nobody else hear the news ? JOE FRANCIS MY DAUGHTERS ARE MISSING … Mom Charged In Mexico.”
Wilson did not reply to the comment and did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
In recent months, the single mom has been open about her struggles trying to co-parent with Francis via social media.
In November, she claimed that she and her daughters are essentially trapped in Mexico.
Athena and Alexandria were born back in 2014 near Puerto Vallarta since their fa ther has a famous oceanside estate in Puerto Mita, Mexico.
Now, Wilson claims the girls are “not allowed to travel outside of Mexico or live in the United States,” but did not provide a reason.
“We live in fear on a daily basis. My ex has not provided financial support in over a year, he does not help with their education, their medical bills, housing, food, or ANYTHING,” Wilson alleged in a lengthy Instagram post. “He stole our home, ALL of our clothes and personal belongings, he stole our car from my parking garage, and has made it clear I am not safe in Mexico.”
“I have faith that the Mexican government, judges, and various hard working people overseeing our case will do the right thing ??????,” she continued. “No one should ever have to go through this. I will be going public with my story soon and sharing (what I am legally allowed to share) to protect myself and my children.”
A few days later, Wilson leaked text messages allegedly sent between her and Francis, in which the film producer accused her of kidnapping their daughters “a year ago,” but allegedly said, “I don’t care anymore. I’m going to have kids with another girl.”
“You’re on your own now Abbey,” Francis allegedly added. “Deal with it.”
In the messages that followed, Wilson asked for Francis to support their girls at least financially, but he seemed to dismiss that, allegedly stating, “I have no responsibility or obligation for the children you stole a year ago.”
Wilson captioned the leaked texts, “Don’t do IVF if you are not committed to taking care of your children.”
Page Six was unable to confirm whether Francis actually sent those messages. He also did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
Francis met Wilson when she won Girls Gone Wild’s “Search for the Hottest Girl in America” contest in 2012. They were never married.
Their nearly 12-year relationship ended in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic, with Wilson alleging in July that Francis did drugs and was abusive throughout all of it.
He told Page Six in response at the time, “My ex-girlfriend just keeps making up things and lying and lying and lying. I have to defend myself and publicly separate myself with her now.”
In June, it was reported that Francis had been arrested in 2020 for a domestic violence incident at his home, in which he allegedly grabbed a woman by the neck and spat at her to give her COVID-19. The identity of the woman was not released.
Charges were ultimately dropped and Francis was released after the woman allegedly “issued her forgiveness.”
