Spitzer’s call girl Ashley Dupre walks runway at NY Fashion Week

September 17, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Melbourne, September 17 (ANI): Ashley Dupre, the former high-class call girl at the centre of the Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal, walked the runway during New York Fashion Week.

The 24-year-old made the appearance at Bahar Shahpar’s fashion show, according to Jill Fehrenbacher at Ecouterre.

“It’s a rare rare thing when the tabloid world crosses into the world of eco-fashion, and one that might bring a little more attention to Bahar’s already-provocative line than would normally have been the case,” the Courier Mail quoted Fehrenbacher as saying.

Dupre was dubbed as an ‘informant’ during the scandal that saw the politician patronising a prostitution service that subsequently led to his resignation from the post of New York Governor.

Eighteen months after the storm, Dupre has been recording pop songs and wooing a record deal. (ANI)

Spitzer call girl Ashley Dupre wants to make a comeback

September 14, 2009 By Leave a Comment

New York, September 14 (ANI): Ashley Dupre, the former high-class call girl at the centre of the Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal, is tired of hiding and wants a comeback.

The 24-year-old was dubbed as an ‘informant’ during the scandal that saw the politician patronising a prostitution service that subsequently led to his resignation from the post of New York Governor.

And eighteen months after the storm, Dupre, who is recording pop songs and wooing a record deal, is seeking to get her life back on track.

“Everyone likes an underdog story, and everyone likes a comeback. I’m the poster child for redemption,” the New York Post quoted her as saying.

Dupre, who is also working on a book she calls a “cautionary tale,” further laughed at the idea that she was after the limelight.

She added: “I didn’t ask for it, but now that I have it, it’s up to me to take advantage of this platform and do something amazing. I have a voice now.” (ANI)

Spitzer call girl Ashley Dupre: Yoga saved my life

March 12, 2009 By Leave a Comment

New York, March 12 (ANI): Ashley Dupre, the former high-class call girl at the centre of the Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal, has revealed that yoga sessions have helped her find “inner strength.”

The 23-year-old credited yoga classes for providing her with the strength to face the tempestuous row that saw Spitzer’s resignation from his post of New York Governor last year.

“The past year has obviously been very difficult for me,” the New York Post quoted her, as saying.

“Yoga has really helped me turn it into a huge learning experience. I’m working hard to take what I went through and turn it into something positive. Yoga helps me focus,” she added.

The ex escort, who has been keeping a low profile since the storm, revealed she snubbed offers from Penthouse and Playboy saying she was “not the person that the media created”.

Hoping to pen a tell-all-book, she added: “I’d really like to tell my own story on my own terms. I’d love to be able to help people work through their own issues.” (ANI)

High-end call girl claims Eliot Spitzer almost choked her during sex

March 9, 2009 By Leave a Comment

New York, Mar 9 (ANI): American lawyer and former politician Eliot Spitzer has landed in another scandal after a call girl revealed that he got aggressive during their sex role play and almost choked her.

Spitzer, 49, had resigned from his post as Governor a year ago after his sexual romp with call girl Ashley Dupre was revealed.

Now a high-end escort named Annie has spoken out about the date that “went a little too far” with the ex-Governor.

Annie said that she was working for madam Kristin Davis when she met Spitzer, who was then state attorney general at The Corinthian on E. 38th St.

“He booked two hours,” the New York Daily News quoted her as saying.

“I don’t remember exactly how much he was charged, but definitely over 1,000 dollars an hour.

“He wanted a scenario where I was supposed to say I had just been to a self-defence class. He was supposed to respond, ‘Let’s see if you learned anything. He would be aggressive. I would have to defend myself.

“When he arrived, he took off his jacket but kept on his shirt and tie. His demeanour was nice, but I don’t remember any kissing or tenderness. He wanted to get on with the role-play. It was the first time I’d done that.

“I remember holding his wrists and him pushing back. I felt he was gauging my strength. We moved to the bed. He put his clothes neatly to the side, folding his pants. Yes, he did leave his socks on.

“I was never fully undressed. He was naked. He was perspiring a lot. He was holding me down. He pinned me to the bed. That didn’t bother me. But when he grabbed my throat that was too much. I remember trying to push myself up off the bed, which made him apply more pressure. I’ve never been worried about my safety, but I was really concerned.

“Finally, I pushed him away and got up. He hadn’t finished. But I’d had enough. I don’t think he was planning on really hurting me. He didn’t ask if I was all right. He didn’t appear to be mad, either. Maybe he had had so many experiences with other people that he could see I didn’t know what I was doing. As he was leaving, he gave me a tip,” she added.

A lawyer for Spitzer said: “This is outrageous and defamatory.” (ANI)

Ex-NY Governor Spitzer is a now a real estate investor

March 6, 2009 By Leave a Comment

New York, Mar.6 (ANI): Former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer is back at work as a commercial real estate investor from a Washington office just a block from the Mayflower Hotel room where he hooked up with 22-year-old prostitute Ashley Dupree and, as a result, doomed his career.

Spitzer, using with his father’s real estate company, bought 1615 L Street N.W., a 13-story dark-glass building that houses his office.

One of the other tenants is the Nixon Presidential Library.

The Spitzer building actually overlooks the Mayflower.

Last month, a U.S. district judge said tapes of former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer making calls to a prostitution ring could be made public.

According to Fox News, a Manhattan judge had ordered the government to make public sealed documents about wiretaps in the Eliot Spitzer scandal.

U.S. District Judge Jed S. Rakoff ordered prosecutors to release documents detailing calls on cell phones used by a prostitution ring whose clients included the former governor. The documents were not immediately released; prosecutors will have a chance to appeal.

The New York Times sued late last year to get the material unsealed. The newspaper has agreed to allow the government to withhold the names of 67 customers named in the documents.

Spitzer resigned last year after details were revealed of a tryst with one of the ring’s prostitutes in a Washington hotel.

Investigators had been looking into the governor’s affairs after noticing unusual activity — later shown to be payments to prostitutes — in his bank accounts. Spitzer was tracked using court-ordered wiretaps.

Court papers allege Spitzer paid thousands of dollars to use the services of former call girl Ashley Alexandra Dupre, and law enforcement officials have said the former governor had a February 13, 2008 tryst with Dupre, then 22, in the Mayflower Hotel in Washington.

Spitzer allegedly paid for Dupre to take a train from New York to D.C. — a move that opened the transaction up to federal prosecution because she crossed state lines.

Spitzer, who was referred to as Client 9 in federal documents, was alleged to be a repeat customer with the Emperors Club VIP, a high-end prostitution service. (ANI)
