Ashley to Silda: 'Sorry for Your Pain'

Former call girl ready to move on with life

Share

(Newser) – Former call girl Ashley Dupre is haunted by the pain she caused Eliot Spitzer’s wife, but insists her tryst with the former governor of New York was “strictly business,” the New York Post reports. Dupre tells People in a forthcoming interview that she didn’t realize who “Client No. 9” was until she saw him on TV announcing his resignation.

Dupre discussed her past and her illicit career path, claiming her mother was “supportive” when she found out how she was paying the bills. “Kristen” divulged that Spitzer was a “polite” client, but would not discuss details of their night together—or whether they had hooked up before. Now that she’s given up hooking for good, she said, “I want to do music, to do fashion, to write books.”

I try not to revisit that place too often, but when I think about his speech, I think of her face, her eyes, the hurt. - Ashley Dupre, on Silda Wall Spitzer

Some guys, they want to have conversations and really get to know each other. With him, it clearly was not like that. It was more of a transaction. Strictly business. - Ashley Dupre, on Eliot Spitzer

This wasn't any different than going on a date with someone you barely knew and hooking up with them. - Ashley Dupre, on prostitution

Everyone knows me as 'that girl,' but I'm not just 'that girl.' I have a lot of depth, a lot of layers. I am a normal girl. - Ashley Dupre

Ashley Dupre. is a sick person. She has no remorse in breaking up a home, all she was after was the MONEY. Reply

What makes Ashley Dupre sick? The fact that she charged for something today's youth gives away on a daily basis or is it that the governor is a married man? The later is on him, not her. As far as the charging for sex, today's young girls go out to clubs, pick up guys that don't even buy them a drink and have sex. Who's the dumb one, the girl that gave it away or the girl that got paid?? Reply
