"If you are in a relationship, and it is 'doing absolutly [sic] nothing' for you, makes you feel bad about yourself of situations, just causing unessesary [sic] drama, and ruining things that you may actually care about . . . why would you want that in your life?"

She wrote, "Surround yourself around people that [sic] are making moves, and doing what 'they want and love' with their lives, positive energy . . . that's what life all about . . . living."

I feel a tear coming on.

Two alternate pictures are emerging of Ashley. In one, she's a survivor - of abuse, homelessness and drug abuse. This, of course, was before Ashley was nearly forced against her will to command $1,000 an hour to escort rich men from their clothes.

In another version, she's a spoiled brat whose stepdad bought her a Porsche that she wrecked. So she ran away from home at 17.

For this, Eliot Spitzer lost everything.

Ashley and Eliot deserve each other. One is mentally challenged by accident of birth.

The other is that way by choice.

Couldn't be two more deserving characters in New York's sex scandal. They both made the wrong choices in life and one should keep natural human sympathy at a distance. Eliot and Ashley. This is one tale that will never be about star-crossed lovers.

Makes it sound like there were dating. Ashley was a call girl . It was all just business.

This morning in Wall township there were reporters on the lawn of the home she grew up in.

I recognized it from the CN8 footage: it's a very exclusive neighborhood.

Even in this market, I would say every home on that block would be about $1 million or more.

Her claims of poverty, struggle, homelessness, etc. are clearly false.

[goldstategop]

Exactly my point. It was all business. It wasn't even a romantic entanglement where a politician kept a mistress stashed away in a love nest somewhere.

Came from the same privileged circle, in other words as ol' Eliot. Then why would she need to pursue a career as a prostitute? It all depends on what version of Ashley Dupre's life one chooses to believe.

This gal has made a lot of bad choices in her young life, but there is a big difference between her and Eliot Mess. He sought out a life as a media whore. She was a whore, but didn't make that choice.

I actually felt a little sorry for her when I saw Greta drop her into the media grinder last night and the siege on her home. I don't wish that on anyone.

[Miss Didi]

She was busy and busty, too. ;)

[YOUGOTIT]

The girl had nothing to do with it. She was doing a job and it could have and looks like it was many, many different girls who were paid for their services. If he wanted to pay for sex he should have go to a state where it is legal, Nevada, or a country like Germany where it is legal or maybe Mexico.

She was just caught up by association with someone famous. Before that she was completely anonymous - and prostitutes don't like the spotlight.

It all depends on what version of Ashley Dupre's life one chooses to believe.

What is indisputable is that she grew up in a very well-to-do community until she quit school at the age of 17.

According to Jason Itzler, a premiere NY pimp until his conviction, he had booked her on jobs as early as 2004.

In other words, she was hooking at age 18 or 19.

So, in the spring of 2003 she was a high school student at Wall High School with a nice car and a big house she shared with her stay-at-home mom and oral surgeon stepdad.

By fall 2004, she was a high-priced hooker living in Manhattan.

Something happened during those 15 or so months.

With $5,500 an hour, she could afford the rent in Manhattan.

Absolutely.

Their relationship was strictly professional.

[MarkeyD]

Yeah, but after taxes, you know...

[YOUGOTIT]

“With $5,500 an hour, she could afford the rent in Manhattan.”

I do not believe that she was getting $5,500 per hour as the pimp got at least 50% and could be as much as 75% and Spiker paid less for up to 4 hours or was it 2 1/2 hours in Washington DC?

[dfwgator]

Their relationship was strictly professional.

And they are both part of the same hypocrisy.

[Williams]

She’s an adult but it is I think additionally creepy that this girl is 22, maybe 21 or younger when Spitzer started. He certainly is smart enough and old enough to know the 21 yr old he is boinking is a young girl caught up in a truly messed up life. Plus he wanted to have unsafe sex. Just maybe Elliot is a really bad person on many levels.

[truemiester]

Cute. Not $5,000/hour cute, but cute.

For $5,000 an hour I would cardiac surgury

[truemiester]

That is I would expect cardiac surgury, Its 11:30pm here, sorry.

To many (even posters here)
Hookers aren’t human-— and it makes them feel good being better than the trash they’re screwing.
