The young call girl who helped bring down the Eliot Spitzer, the Governor of New York, turns out to be a 22-year-old aspiring singer from New Jersey who ran away from a broken home at 17. At the Emporer's Club escort service she was known as Kristen, but she was born Ashley Youmans and now goes by the professional name of Ashley Alexandra Dupre, which is how she is listed on her MySpace page. (If you click on the link you will hear some of her music.) Below are some pictures from Kristen's MySpace page, but here's a little more background information from the NY Times:
Kristen, described in a federal affidavit as having a Feb. 13 rendezvous with Mr. Spitzer at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, has spent the last few days in her ninth-floor rental in an upscale apartment building in the Flatiron district. On Monday, she made a brief appearance in federal court as a witness in the case against four people charged with operating the prostitution ring, Emperor’s Club V.I.P. In a series of telephone interviews on Tuesday night, she said she had slept very little over the past week due to the stress from the case.
Carolyn Capalbo, 46, Ms. Dupre’s mother, said that she attended Wall High School in Belmar until her sophomore year, when she moved to North Carolina. “She was a young kid with typical teenage rebellion issues, but we are extremely close now,” Ms. Capalbo said in a telephone interview Wednesday.
In 2006, Ms. Dupre changed her legal name, according to records in Monmouth County Superior Court, from Ashley R. Youmans to Ashley Rae Maika DiPietro, taking her step-father’s surname, since she regarded him as as “the only father I have known.” But in the interview, she referred to herself as Ashley Alexandra Dupre, which is how she is known on MySpace.
On the Web page is a recording of what she describes as her latest track, “What We Want,” an amateurish, hip-hop inflected rhythm and blues tune that asks, “Can you handle me, boy?” and uses some dated slang, calling someone her “boo.”
A NY Governor is taken down in a couple of days because of sex and yet the evil that resides at the white House is still intact.
What is going on here? As for Spitzer's whore, she seems to be a not too bright atttention seeker which is all you need to be these days for gaining celebrity. For $4000, I expected to see a drop dead gorgeous woman. NOT! By the way, isn't the prostitute also breaking the law? We do not seem to hear about her legal issues concerning this bust by the FBI. Her music borders on awful and her looks are the result of mediocre plastic surgery. I guess you need something to work with in the first place. Only in America would this non entity be the next "famous flavor of the week." She can be proud to join the ranks of the rest of the skanks that have made it big for doing absolutely nothing of value. What a planet!
