Ashley Dupre's Media Whirlwind

2008_11_dianeashley.jpg

Ever since it was revealed Eliot Spitzer was caught planning a rendez-vous with a hooker named Kristen, which eventually led to his resignation, there's been massive curiosity about Kristen--aka Ashley Alexandra Dupre. Last week, it was reported that Diane Sawyer would have the first interview with Dupre, for this Friday's 20/20. And now it seems that Dupre was also interviewed by People for this week's issue.

2008_11_duprepost.jpgABC News released a photograph of Sawyer with Dupre, in advance of this Friday night's interview. In the segment, Dupre will explain how an "upper middle-class, girl next door got into the profession and the psychological journey she continues to experience," in person, while it seems she spills lots of details in print, too.

People's online excerpt mentions how Dupre thought it was surreal to see her client apologizing on TV and that she reasoned prostitution "wasn't any different than going on a date with someone you barely knew and hooking up with them. The only difference is I can pay my rent."

The Post says the 22-year-old Dupre also told People she felt bad for Silda Wall Spitzer, "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." And if she could speak to Silda, she'd tell her, "I'm sorry for your pain."

Dupre also discusses how at 17 she fled her mother and stepfather's house in NJ to NC where her father lived, descending into more and more partying. Then she went to Florida, still partying, where she did the Girls Gone Wild videos. The Post reports, "It was about the same time she says she was raped. 'It caused me to disconnect - with sex, with real relationships,' she said." Then she moved back to the NY-area, got into modeling... which then led to hooking.

    ps. she needs to straighten out the hair and go back on the hooker diet of coke and booze.

  • This story was slightly more interesting 24 years ago when the girl was Donna Rice.

  • FelixtheCat & Christine Quinn'

    Sawyer looks so pale next to her. I think Spitzer's wife is good looking. Sawyer had too many botox shots. Dupre already looks so used up.

  • Jen S

    She can pay her rent, but does she have self-respect?

  • Steven

    Where did she get the money to move to Florida?

    What do these hookers think anyway? Nobody is going to want them once they turn 30.

  • doppelganger

    you need to pay for that?

  • Colochita

    I'm sure we can expect a line of handbags any month now.

  • Pull My Finger

    More boob shots needed to make me give a crap about her.

  • Tgirl

    Dupre handled herself with much more class than the media did. If shes a hooker, the media are cocksucking AIDS infested sluts.

  • r1b2

    Could almost pass for a virgin in that dress. Not.

    Her story isn't interesting, she's a bit part in a not-so-interesting story about the usual weakness of men. yadda, yadda, yadda.
