Spitzer's Former Call Girl: I'm No Monica Lewinsky!
In the wake of the news that former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer is thinking about returning to politics, the woman who was at center of his downfall, Ashley Dupre, opens up exclusively to Global Grind about the misconceptions about her, and how not only does the former Governor deserve a second chance, but so does she.
Ashley says she's not responsible for the media attention she received, and she certainly didn't benefit from it! "Excuse me people, I didn’t call the tabloids, I didn’t blow the whistle and I didn’t save 'the dress.' I did nothing to shine a light on my indiscretions or to 'out' anyone else," she says.
As for being accused of “cashing in” on the scandal, Ashley says, "wrong again"! She claims that she didn't make one dime from her music or nude photos...it was the people around her who capitalized on her scandal. Ashley also comments on her supposed tell-all book. "Let me tell you about most book publishers – they are worse than the tabloids," she says. "I won’t give them the tell-all they are demanding and I won’t glorify and sensationalize 'how exciting the life of a high-priced NYC escort must be,' as one major publisher put it."
Lastly, for the women who have been supportive and understanding, she is very grateful. To the ladies that judge her, Ashley suggests that many of them are in their own dishonest relationship with money, security or stability, so be careful who you judge!
