Midtown Madam Denies Lesbian Flings in Jail

2008_02_aschwartz.jpgAndrea Schwartz, the Brazilian ex-pat who settled in Manhattan and became a madam with powerful clients, is back in the news. And she's as saucy as ever, this time denying that she's a lesbian. Tell us more!

Schwartz, who was arrested in 2006 after the vice squad busted her Midtown prostitution ring from her apartment (where she also sold coke to customers), was sentenced to 18 months in jail, which she's already served, and probably won't face further jail time. But Schwartz will most likely be deported back to Brazil.

In her statement to the court, the Daily News reports the 39-year-old said, "I am not a lesbian; I never in my life had a relationship with a woman. Twenty months in prison, [and I] never touched a woman," as well as, "It's just hard for me, losing my home, losing my career, my name." Career in prostitution? Well, Schwartz did manage to make enough to begin a deal with investors to buy condos on the top floor of the Plaza Hotel.

And this Daily News cover is a blast from the 2006 past; the other story on the cover is the "Campaign Finance Elmo scandal" involving City Councilman Vito Fossella.

this sex escandals are the same over and over:
Pathetic old men pay young hot women for sex thy could not have otherwise. Then both parties cover their traces with lies...and women seem to be the perverts but man are just men. How little machism has to do with anything regarding guilt!

 


Oh i'm not gay, but I'll screw for money? Whatever!

She does some wrinkled old man for $, but not a chic? What about an old wrinkled man and his hot young wife for $.

In a tribute to the 1st commentors post I add, Ow me guna thik you telle trut muc?

 

Perhaps it's more a story of pathetic young women having sex for money.

 

It's a win win situation.

The men get what they want and the women get some money.

 

"Perhaps it's more a story of pathetic young women having sex for money"

...Or a story of Pathetic Rich men who need to pay $ in order to have sex with someone who would never dream about sleeping with them in the first place. If she can use what she has to get a good piece of cash, why not? Best to do it now before her looks fade away. 250k is not too shabby at all.

 

I doubt she scored 250K in one shot. She was a madam it appears. She will move back to her old country and fade away as a fat ugly old woman. Seeing she didn't have a lot to start with.

I sure hope she invested wisely.

Most inner city drug dealers also waste their youth that way I believe. Selling drugs to middle aged jerks from the outer boros as well as those that populate the UES and UWS.
