The Joe/Jayde fight controversy may have faded, but Francis stirred it back up last night when he took a swing at Brody Jenner's BFF Frankie Delgado at the opening of MI-6!

An X17 spy inside the venue tells X17online.com exclusively:

    "At approximately 10pm Joe Francis shows up to the MI-6 opening. As he approaches the front door that was attached to the red carpet he gets rejected at the door by Frankie Delgado. Joe absolutely FREAKS out. He grabs the one of the owners [Sam Nazarian] and is freaking out asking 'whats going on, what's happening here???'

    Sam got so annoyed because Joe interrupted his interview on the red carpet that he shooed him away and told the security guard to let Joe in. As Joe begins to walk in the door, Frankie freaks out and walks in right behind him and starts with Joe. Right by the door Frankie shoves Joe and Joe is saying, 'why are you pushing me - why are you pushing me?'

    And then Joe takes a swing at Frankie -- and misses!!

    The second that happens security and the police that were standing on the property get involved and immediately escort Joe off the property in the back alley. Joe never made it inside the party and was sooooo pissed off!"


We were initially inclined to believe Joe's claims that he never hit Jayde...but after seeing this, we don't know WHAT to believe!

Most of the action can be seen in the vid above - so watch and enjoy!
