Ashley Dupre Blogs About Post-Scandal Life, Yoga

2009_03_ashleyrus.jpg Ashley Dupre offered up her "year after the Spitzer scandal" thoughts in a blog post for Global Grind, Russell Simmons' hip-hop news site. Dupre writes about moving on, "I am now 23 years old and I’ve made more mistakes than most people make in a lifetime. 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," and how she's working on her spiritual side, "The more I know my true self, the more I come to have faith that my presence on earth means more or at least has different meaning than the media or disbelievers have tried to frame it to be." She and Simmons met at yoga class, and naturally, Simmons blogged about it, "While bent over in uttanasana, I noticed a cute, little, short girl whose hands were not placed properly," and when she introduced herself later, he thought, "Oh my god, this 5 foot, 1 inch god-seeker was the $4000 'escort' of Governor Elliot Spitzer."

    "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 guess standing is a huge achievement for someone who is used to lying down.

    of america's ever-expanding roster of awful celebrities, this chick has to be the worst.

    "i was well paid to suck & f*%K heads of state! now i take yoga classes!"

    what a walking paradox...

  • BTW

    C'mon Russ just trying to get it in.

  • Spirit of 76

    Only 5'1"? Didn't early reports say "Kristen" was 5'5" or thereabouts?

    I guess this is finally her entree into that music career she's always wanted.

    Does anybody else think that Russell Simmons looks like a cancer patient?

  • nik13

    Russel's single, right? His former trophy-hussy is off with other men, so I'd not be shocked if he tried to read Ashley's tats from a close distance.

  • melp

    And she just HAPPENED to "introduce herself" to him after yoga class? That's just so . . . spiritual.

    Stop telling me about this whore.

    Her 15 minutes of dick sucking fame are over.

  • whitecastlerock

    my stomach turns every single time a story is written about this hooker...

  • ides_of_march

    "While bent over in uttanasana,..."

    How much did she used to charge for that?

  • turkishjade

    "God-seeker"? Seriously?

  • JRod5417

    My thoughts, exactly. I don't think most people do yoga to find God.
