The prostitute at the center of the salacious scandal that brought down former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer and generated national headlines is going to dish on her life as a pricey escort. ABC says Ashley Alexandra Dupre sat down with Diane Sawyer on the program "20/20."
Dupre reveals how an "upper middle-class, girl next door got into the profession and the psychological journey she continues to experience."
Spitzer resigned March 12 after it was disclosed he had used Emperors Club VIP. Dupre worked for the escort service.
On Thursday, federal prosecutors said they wouldn't bring criminal charges against Spitzer, marking the end of the saga.
Four people pleaded guilty to running the prostitution operation.
The show will air Friday at 10 p.m.
It's good to be the king......I mean Gov.
For the kind of money these women make, I'd sleep with Elliot Spitzer, even if he constantly had that "I'm swallowing my own face" expression.
I do like her makeover for this interview. She almost looks wholesome. Ha!
Full fledged whore to media whore in no time flat.
She almost looks wholesome. Ha!
Almost.....if you ask me they should have interviewed her in a thong with pasties. Now THAT would get ratings. Who wants to see her lookin all wholesome?
Not me, to be sure. I liked her just fine the way she was, when all this broke.
There's nothing wrong with being true to yourself, even if you are a whore.
I wanna see them make-out together...now that would get ratings!
I looked at the picture and said to myself "which one is the prostitute?"
You lay down with dogs....
The woman sells herself for money....lay with a man for money, and then tell his secrets to someone else for even more money. Yep she's a whore. Where is the suprise?
If she looks anything like this picture, I disagree.
She looks like she aged 10 years. And I am not exaggerating.
Huh... always seemed more to me like the gross, pathetic old dudes who paid women to sleep with them were the whores.
More like paying them to go away. :)
She should have taken care of Spitzer for free, as a professional courtesy.
She is a slag...
All I can think about is....she's overly tanned. But really, these girls knew what they were getting into, they were lavished, some married their men, and yada yada yada. There's a reason they are called "High end", because they are for the rich men who want a temporary companion minus the relationship. And these women want to travel to these high end places these men are at and make their money. Whatever.... It's none of my business, im more concerned about the rape, pillaging, and recklessness of Africa than a gov who was lonely and wanted a 1 time woman. Can the media talk about something more concerning? Thanks.
It wasn't one time. And he has (had) a wife.
Yeah, yet he still sought out another woman. He did it for all the wrong reasons, but, in a way, he still was empty, something his wife either couldn't provide him, or he was just plainly a nasty man.
What is newsworthy about this? For that matter, why is there so much in the news, including long stories, on $10,000 whores?
You clicked on the link to read the story, didn't you?
Probably because no one is talking about her any more. She needs to generate interest so she could get a reality show and make more money.
She was not in the $10K class. She was a relative bargain, and travelled some 5 hours on an Amtrak train to meet the Guv'nor in D.C.
'Tis pity, she's a whore.
would you travel 5 hours for a 10,000.00 pay out?
Would I agree to this particular arrangement? Hell to-the-NO.
I've never been to A.C. or Vegas, and do not worship Mammon. I can wait a few months and earn $10K "the old-fashioned way" (as per the actor John Houseman in the Smith Barney commercials): I'll earn it.
YOu sound so desperate and jealous for whatever reason, your mentioning of her driving 5 hours haha. Sad, and who is to say she didn't earn her money. Her service is just worth more than yours, requardless of what it is.
I'm neither desperate nor jealous. I never said she drove. She rode a train. How would you know what anyone else's "service" is worth?
A lot of people are impatient with her. Not sure how the "sad" and "haha" comments entered the conversation. But that's on you, so don't project,
I guess to me it is funny and sad to see that people feel the need to pick on whatever they can and you are grasping at straws by stating that she had to travel 5 hours and it was a relative bargain. If you want to talk about her being a prostitute and how you think it is wrong fine but to bring up how far she traveled and insult her based on that what is the point and it makes you seem rather pathetic to even bring it up.
Interesting that AP came out with this today. Almost like they wanted to ensure Spitzer was unacceptable for any position in the new administration.
No that he wasn't already?
As if...?
Er...isn't she a criminal? Or is prostitution now legal in every state, like Nevada? What kind of message does this send? And yet we get upset about the young girls shaking their asses in rap videos?!
SpoxLogic, sure is. Only legal prostitution as you noted is in Nevada.... Why can a $10,000 whore get away with it, but those street whores, those who post on craigslist under "erotic" get busted? Money talks.. What is this whore going to do now? Write a book? Do a movie? Enter porn?
Bend over America and grab your ankles!
The same question needs to be asked of Spitzer-I believe it's called solicitation and we won't even discuss violations of the Mann Act and the implications of crossing state lines in the conduct of unlawful activities, instead let's blame the girl!
Only criminal in a obtuse country.
It is one of many of what used to be called "victimless" crimes but now for purposes of political correctness is called a consentual crime.
Needs to be legalized and taxed and medically policed like in parts of Europe.
Progressive thinking in Europe and Canada is still a little ahead of that in America.
I agree, but I was answering to the people on here that want to brand her with a scarlet letter while letting Spitzer walk away withhout charges levied.
Actually she could have walked away but she wants a piece of the limelight. I don't care about her selling her body but I think giving an interview is about self promotion. That is what I find abhorrent about this woman.
Is Diane Sawyer doing her research because she is contemplating a career change?
"Hiyooooh...!"
====
I wonder how many politicians and other people high up the food chain are praying she doesn't get an offer to write a tell all book that includes her other clients....or if she gets arrested if she will give out names to cut a deal with prosecutors.
I wonder if they feel like they are on the roller coast just sitting up on top of that first big peak, waiting for someone to let go the brakes?
I hear she'll be running for President in 2012.
LOL =}
oh dear....hahahahah good one!
At least the governor got busted with a smokin hot female. Unlike George Michael, Eddie Murphy, blah, blah, blah...
Bill Clinton?
Another person of ill-repute trying to extend her 15 minutes of fame - - and make a profit off of immoral and illegal activities. Disgusting.
Yep. Pretty soon, she'll have a handbag line and everyone will be wearing her hair style.
Yep. Pretty soon, she'll have a handbag line and everyone will be wearing her hair style.
Only if she runs for V.P.
It's funny how much she covered up, to an extreme. Even Diane, who is about twice her age is showing more cleavage. I wonder if she's going to say she is a born again Christian now.
Right? You noticed that, too? You know she purposely dressed in that ultra-conservative "I'm-a-good-girl-really-I-am" dress.
She's not a bad looking hooker. I'm sure it's a "daddy didn't love me" story. Who cares, $10 hooker, $1000 hooker....still a hooker.
She's not a bad looking hooker.
Is there a market for butt-ugly hookers? I'm guessing that you may need to be somewhat nice-looking to charge $10,000.
Just being facetious. I know what you meant. LOL. ;-)
Is there a market for butt-ugly hookers?
In todays world....yes.
As far as this particular hooker, she's not worth ten grand by any stretch...
You stay classy Diane. Thanks for the important "news".
I'd tap that... but probably not for $10,000 a night.
Expensive sex is expensive
For that kind of money...you definately want to take your time...haha.
I think Ashley is cool. She likes to dance. Dancing is free spirited. It is how the person viewing perceives or takes it. Ashley looks happy, and not only because of the monies. We all should dance and have fun!!! Love to you Ashley! Enjoy, stay stay, stay warm, you seem sincere, we need more people like you; Thumbs up!!
Prostitution is criminal only in an obtuse country.
It is one of many of what used to be called "victimless" crimes but now for purposes of political correctness is called a consentual crime.
Needs to be legalized and taxed and medically policed like in parts of Europe. Progressive thinking in Europe and Canada is still a little ahead of that in America.
BTW, she is on one of the "Girls Gone Wild" videos and there are still some photos of her from the Emperor Club website still floating around.
Well, some of Europe, not nearly all of Europe. I love to see people that feel it's o.k. to look down their noses at others.
Here is a woman with no regard for the confidentiality aspect of her profession.
Now she will have to choose which "tastefully" done centerfold she will do for $1,00,000.00......Penthouse, Playboy, Hustler........perhaps a porn shoot???
replytoj001
the confidentiality aspect of her profession.
His priest confirmed her story, as did his bartender.
I thought the priest was likely- but I am ashamed of the bartender.
Is this really news or just cheap thrills?
I am not, nor have ever been an admirer of Mr. Spitzer, I see/saw him as a political opportunist, who would do what ever it would take to win an election......I believe he is/was a self important a**, who ultimately has gotten what he deserved....a ruined (as he ruined others) career.
But again, I must ask....is this really newsworthy....do we need to hear this?
replytoj001
Wait, which one is the prostitute?
That was a good one!!!!
subtle =}
Or a more sexist question (riddle).
Which one would charge you less and NOT tell about it later) Or is it, charge you MORE and tell about it later? I just confused myself. Ha!
It's funny how politicians can think with the wrong head and destroy such glorious careers!
Again, another really "important" story from the media. Why is at the top of Newsvine?
Damn she's hot. Can't say I really blame the guy. He should have kept it on the DL though.
She is not hot!
As for the down low, Do you know the story behind this?
The madam was wire taped and they found out it was Spitzer. Client #9????
Any of this ring a bell????
Yeah, he should have had her wear a mask - or rather he should have worn a mask. A la the movie Eyes Wide Shut.
newstrain.blogspot.com
boring movie. Tom Cruise overrated!!!
She clearly is good looking. She may not be a Heidi Klum, Tyra, or Kate Moss but she is attractive. Why don't you put pics up of yourself and we will have a discussion on if you are good looking or not or who is prettier. Stop being so pathetic and putting someone down over their looks. Grow up and get over yourself and stop being jealous.
I am not jealous of a desperate HO!
Do you find her innocent because of her attractiveness to you???? Sounds like you are the one judging on looks. I am judging the actions.
She was a spoiled middle class child who never took responsibility accept to sell her body. Quick buck. Anyone can make a dollar that way.
The minute the story broke she took to the airwaves and the Internet to make millions.
I feel no pity for her.
she is a slag...
I have no issue with her profession. Supply and demand, two people at fault. I take issue with her money making by going public. That is where the real prostitution lies.
yup.... street ho does not get to profit like this.
But she is "beautiful" so it is ok ..... right????????
I am sick of reality tv
I am sick of scheming people..... and her false sympathy for Silda Spitzer makes me want to puke. I am sure there are many wives hurt by their husbands visiting her.
It is the husband's responsiblity to honour his marital vows.
God Bless the Good ol' US of A!
I really could care less what they do on their free time. I find it funny how many woman are so outraged by this. Many people cheat and for their own reasons not my business. I think many of the woman that are so upset by this are insecure with their own relationships and themselves and feel the need to prey on other people. I do not think that people who cheat are necessarily "bad" people. There are all different circumstances and it is a lack of judgement but it does not mean that you are a "bad" person. If a woman wants to make money from having sex it does not effect me.
