A Year Later, Spitzer Hooker 'Proud' of Herself

Dupre discusses 'mistakes' in blog

Share

(Newser) – Wondering how Ashley Dupre is doing, one year after Eliot Spitzer’s downfall? She'll tell you herself, in lengthy detail, through her blog on Global Grind, the New York Daily News reports. Though she’s “made more mistakes than most people make in a lifetime,” the 23-year-old is “proud of myself for surviving”—and she says she learned a lot.

“I hope that from my story, I can help someone and save them from making the same mistakes and choices that I made,” Dupre writes of her in-the-works autobiography. “I’ve worked so hard to move on and I don't want to relive it. But I know I have to if anything good is going to come out of this.”

But to look back and see all that I have overcome, and to stand here, and actually still be here at all, that is a huge achievement. I am proud of myself for surviving. - Ashley Dupre

"I've learned a lot about responsibility and how the choices you make can alter the way your life plays out. Some of my decisions were good, some bad, but I accept them as part of what defines me now. - Ashley Dupre

I'd rather have the Spitzers of politics screwing hookers than screwing the taxpayer but, that's who ends up paying for the pay-for-play hook-ups anyway. Reply

Timinator, do you even know anything about Eliot Spitzer? He was like the unmasked avenger in Gotham city. He was fighting white collar crime and corruption left and right. You couldn't be more wrong.

Nuts, he was, i believe, using taxpayer money, thus screwing the taxpayer. Now if the money was coming out of his own pocket, then that's another story
